Bê's cute mug
Bê was always on a shift these days, which meant that whenever Grantaire tried to catch him to talk about what motivated his departure from the ABCD, he was either busy or doing something else. Grantaire tried to check the Discord, but the Channel was closed by the admins (Combeferre and Enjolras, they decided it with a vote). As for the other members, nobody wanted to tell what happened... or knew exactly what happened. When Grantaire met Prouvaire to sing their weekly song with them, the latter told them:
"I have no idea what happened... it started casually and then it was fast and quick and deadly and erased before I could actually see anything."

They shared a bit of weed and Grantaire wondered for a second if Prouvaire's daily consumption was responsible for their short view of the drama. Or maybe Prouvaire just happened to be a very chill person who avoided conflict.
During the shooting of their vlog, Lesgle told Grantaire that if they wanted to know, they'd better talk about it with their roommate themself... which Grantaire found an easy occasion to do since next week's first vlog was supposed to be a collaboration with Bê, who was gonna explain his work as a drag queen activist.
"I'll tell you the truth once but I won't repeat it, so you better set the Gopro right," Bê says as Grantaire enters his room.
They hand Grantaire a cute mug that says, "I suck for a coffee." It's only tea inside. Grantaire would suck for nothing, but weed would be nice. Although, they want to be wide awake for the revelation of the dddrama!
And there's drama. Heavy drama even though Bê expresses it in the most delightfully snarky way. Apparently Joly has been caught being weirdly fetichizing with gaysians, which Bê didn't appreciate. He tried to call them out, didn't find enough support within the group and decided to leave. That's very bittersweet actually. Well, the video is gonna be fun and light because Bê is just a drag queen in every circumstance and refuses to show how much they suffer. Or he does it in such an over-the-top way that you're supposed to laugh at it, but Grantaire really feels bad about what happened to him.
And they also feel bad about the ABCD losing a member. Not that they idealize the association, it's run by a collective of humans who pretend they're de-hierarchized, but who obviously have two dissonant leaders, and the implied nature of this hierarchy probably creates tensions and resentment despite the obvious friendship between them all. They're united by their queerness but they all have their own plans and agendas and some are more or less easy to work with and they probably don't all get along so well (except Prouvaire obviously, Prouvaire is loved by all). Grantaire has heard Bê and Lesgle bitching about Enjolras for months even though there's obviously respect between them. They're just not made to work together; Bê and Lesgle are humans with cause, while Enjolras is their cause.
