"I have found," says Enjolras quietly, when it's clear that Marius isn't planning to finish his sentence, "that friends are the best and only way to learn what's worth being certain about. Friends, and all the voices of the people."
Is it cruel to say so to a man who's just lost most, perhaps all, of his friends? Maybe. But it's also true. Better a harsh truth than a kind lie.
And they aren't as lost to him as death would otherwise dictate. A grace despite all logic: Marius is here, and so are they.
