    Summary

    “Courfeyrac says you do have passion,” says Enjolras, her eyes all dark and mesmerizing. “So why don’t you ever show it?”
    “I don’t know,” says Grantaire. “Honestly, most of my energy gets wasted on art or pining, you know?”
    Grantaire’s a hopeless romantic. It is part of her personality. Everyone knows this. Their friend group has stopped asking the requisite questions on the matter and just started handing her volumes of longing poetry.
    “The art is useful, you should keep that,” Enjolras says earnestly, which at least is an achievement. It took hours of Grantaire and other group members pontificating on how art movements were essential parts of historical unrest and uprisings and cultural shifts for Enjolras to appreciate art. Unfortunately, she now categorizes art as 'tool of war.' Grantaire doesn’t know how to explain to her that it’s a tool forged from yourself. That the blade’s not always sharp or capable of being wielded or cutting. It is unreliable—just like Grantaire. “The pining, though,” she continues. “That has to stop. So. Who is it this time?”
    “This time?” says Grantaire dumbly. “Who?”

    Summary

    There are no words for this thing he is doing.

    Oh, there are terms. Coitus: a respectable word. A word Combeferre employs when his careful fingers turn the pages of his texts. It suggests a certain medical distance, a lawyerly concern with exactness of phrase. They are engaging in coitus. It is correct; it fails to describe.

    "Time isn't an archive, with neat little files and labels. It's just this...heap of things that happened. You pull something off the bottom, you knock some things over. That's why we live with our messes."

    Summary

    "Hey Kono,” Steve says, shuffling into Kono’s office and trying to pretend he can be subtle.  “Do you know anything about Danny seeing some ... kama’aina?”

    Kono squints at him over her paperwork, like he's a perp she’s trying to identify. “What about it?”

    “Nothing! Just, you know.” Steve flails. “Don't you think it’s weird he never told me?”

    “Is it weird that Danny never told his Navy SEAL boss that he's dating a man?”
