Summary
Javert tries to open his eyes, but he only manages to crack them a sliver. They sting and through the pain, he can only see milky lights and darks. “Why?” he rasps, ignoring Valjean’s question. He wants to know why he’s alive.
“I saw you jump,” Valjean’s voice says, as if it’s that simple.
Maybe, to him, it is.
Valjean pulls Javert from the river. You know how it goes.

Summary
Valjean frowns at him, as if Javert is being blasphemous, but Javert is unfazed; he knows Valjean knows it's true. Eventually, it is Valjean who looks away first. "I am sick. I cannot do other things."
Javert cannot help the feeling of panic rising in him, that Valjean may never see sense, and Javert will always have to watch the one he loves labor through some incomprehensible self inflicted purgatory. "You are being difficult," he snaps. "You are sick because you are not eating. So eat."
Valjean is trying to extricate himself from Cosette’s life, but Javert is there to fuss over him. And Javert is very fussy, in his own way.

Summary
“It is well. Go upstairs. I will wait for you here.”
Javert knew as soon as he had spoken those words to Jean Valjean that he sounded odd. If he sounded odd even to his own ears, to a man who had known him as long as Valjean, he must have sounded like he was speaking in a little-used foreign tongue.
To an extent, he was. Lying well required a comfort with deception that Javert had never possessed, and he had not miraculously acquired it even in this late hour, no matter how convenient it would have been for him to have done so.

Summary
Weeks upon weeks passed in a blur before Valjean even had a spare moment to notice the newest mark upon his back, the flesh thick and scarred like a brand in the shape of a well-formed handprint, layered over top the latticework of lashes he had earned in Toulon.
Valjean’s stomach turned as he tried to catch a proper glimpse, twisting to see his reflection in a smudged bit of windowpane by the meager light of a flickering candle.
It had happened, then, at last. After many dark and grueling years on his own, he had finally encountered his soulmate…
