Summary
The ravages of time, neglect, and hardship rent it apart.
Javert spent all morning cobbling it back together from disparate pieces. Pliers here, the aid of a needle there. He pricked himself several times, muttering frustrated and sharp cusses under his breath in his empty flat. Large hands fumbled with a gentility and tenderness unbeknownst to him before, and indeed he had not thought himself capable of it, the light and feathery touches of a man cradling delicate crystal.
He did not always value the thing. That was a recent development.

The envelope returned to Javert with the very same fragments, untouched by human skill. His own name was scrawled across the front in jagged script. The messenger-boy informed him that it was discovered in a dead old man's pocket, closest to his breast.Such was how the news came to him. It was no wonder; the adopted woman and her husband knew nothing of his existence, as far as he understood.
The echoes receded with the tides. His wooden heart cracked and seeped its sap.
Now Javert clad himself completely in black, crepe wrapped around the base of his hat. Even his cane was jet black. He stood alone beside a cheap grave in the Pere-Lachaise cemetery, fingering the freshly-patched trinket stuck deep in his pocket. He gazed, unseeing. His thumb traced the molded metal. Cheap material, resplendent and warm nonetheless. He did what he could, however he could. He was like a pallid specter, hovering over a ghost.

Oh God, this is just. The significance of the rosary. Valjean not saving him, but Javert surviving nonetheless, and the two of them finding each other. And. Just. /flails.
