Jehan nods. It's the answer he'd expected from Enjolras, and it's not wrong.

"I would have Melpomene outside again, if I could," he says. "She's still in me--I can feel that--so it's not as though she's absent, but...it's as though she's trapped, or stifled, somehow. She can't speak for herself. No one's daemon can. If everyone had part of their soul manifested outside, we would, perhaps, understand each other's natures better, and the nature of each society, and of all humanity. There would still be confusion and mystery, but a higher order of it, perhaps. And," Jehan concludes with a sigh, "it would be beautiful."
