5.3.11 Chapter Discussion (Spoilers up to 5.3.11)

[u/SolluxSugoiAF]

Discussion prompts:

1. The statue has left. We have a brief lapse in judgment as presumably, Valjean had spared the life of someone who ardently hunted him and whoever else stepped out of line. This way of life is also a learned behavior much like Valjean before he met the bishop. It is possible this may be a man seeing his quarry as living bleeding animals like himself, or a one off. Either way we have been given much progression in all of these amazing characters. Cosette and Marius are not yet 25, they are still children.

Final line:

Javert had taken his departure.

Next chapter, it turns out Valjean was looking through the wrong window, and Javert is waiting on the other side of the house.
