Lamplight bathes the Café Musain in 1831. Amidst pamphlets and smoke, Enjolras leans forward, intense. “The people are restless,” he murmurs to Combeferre. Grantaire raises a glass; the group agrees.

Joly will examine her.” The revolutionaries move with practiced ease, clearing space for the stranger.
