"He's a part of the problem, part of the reason why France is falling and no one seems to even notice to help her up!"
Lissette Pontmercy has been stripped of who she is but not in the way you think. In the midst of changes she does her best to stay...

"So they can't put him to trial yet can they?" Lizzie asked as she paced the floor. After Enjolras had been swept away by Raoul, les amis went up to the hidden room above the cafe to plan how they were going to get Enjolras out of jail.
"No, they don't have any evidence but with an accusation such as this we better act quickly." Marius replied.
"But how can they even give this arrest any validation? We were acting as a study group. All you boys have to do is show them that you were talking about the American Revolution or any other revolution for that matter and he goes free, right?" She was trying her best to go through every possibility she could possibly think of.
"You know she has a point," Combeferre spoke up.
"But how exactly are we going to prove that when we have our own Revolution notes written all over the notes from class?" Grantaire asked, he didn't want to get Lizzie's hopes up if it meant that she would wind up getting hurt later if this plan didn't work out.
"But what if we took those out or rewrote them?" Lizzie asked, challenging Grantaire's cynical comment. "I could even help with the rewriting. I can make my handwriting look like a man's."
"No, I think you're on to something there Lizzie. We only wrote on the parts that spoke to us and then we made plans on separate papers. I know most of my notes are honestly just underlined or starred so it looks annotated which wouldn't cause any suspicion." Courfeyrac said, flipping through his papers.
"So do you just plan on marching in there and demanding Enjolras' freedom?" Grantaire asked.
"No, we've got to be strategic about this. If we speak to the Inspector he'll remember us and he'll mark us suspicious since we're freeing a man who was suspected of treason." Lizzie said.
"Then I'll go and a couple others." Marius said. "You can stay here with Courfeyrac and Combeferre and continue on with today's meeting. After all we were going to meet with the other student groups today, someone needs to stay here."
"Well, it's certainly not going to be me." Lizzie replied, arms crossed as she stared down Marius. How could he even suggest that she would stay back while they freed Enjolras.
"I hate to admit it Lizzie but Marius is right. We need to stay here to greet the other groups and go over plans. Enjolras put you in his place for a reason." Combeferre said.
Lizzie spun around to face the guide of the group. "But Enjolras needs our help..."
"And we'll help Enjolras but he also needs us here to continue planning for our own revolution." Courfeyrac added, making his way over to Lizzie and placing his hands on her shoulders. "This is why he chose you out of all of us to take his place while he's gone. You have that same passion living inside of you and right now we're going to need that passion focused towards getting these other groups on the same page as us. Marius and whoever else is going with him will get Enjolras out and bring him back here. Don't you worry."
