"I have fought against Royalty for a long time. Grantaire is aware of this fact. He knows my feelings on it. And yet he chose to do this irregardless of my feelings on it. He doesn't believe in anything, and he never will. But I believe in my cause. I believe in fighting for what is right. Dying for what is right. My life, it doesn't mean anything. My death can mean something, if it leads to France becoming a better place."
He sighed. "Grantaire doing as he did only proves further that he believes in nothing and I can't imagine how it would cause him pain."
