"He died by your side?" Combeferre is stunned, and yet not. The thing makes a kind of sense, partly for reasons Enjolras would prefer not to acknowledge.

Combeferre can't help feeling a certain joy, despite hearing that Grantaire did indeed die a bloody death (and would Grantaire have preferred living after they all perished? Evidently not). Rousing himself to stand with Enjolras must have been a triumph of all that was best and most beloved in Grantaire. "It will be so good to see him again."

Unfortunately, he inadvertently punctuates this with another yawn, and remembers it has been more than a day since he last slept.
