(Jacques is distraught over the loss of Claire.)

Jacques: Hey, um, Éponine?

Éponine: Yeah?

Jacques: Could you hold my baby for a second?

Éponine: Sure.

Jacques: Thanks.

(Jacques passes her the baby, then takes off running.)

Éponine: Wait! Where are you—? Oh well.

(Jacques is running along, perhaps trying to find the firing squad and let them kill him as well.)

Voice: Hey, Jacques! Where are you going?

(Jacques stops, recognizing said Voice.)

Jacques: Who is that?

Voice: It's me, dear.

(Jacques turns to see a woman with short blonde hair and no front teeth, who seems a little blurry around the edges.)

Jacques: Mom?

Mysterious Woman: Yes, Jacques.

Jacques: B- but you died!

Mysterious Woman: Yeah...

Jacques: Oh, well, what?

Mysterious Woman: I just think you should know that abandoning your child with a Thénardier is not such a good idea. You'll miss the kid like crazy, and then never get to see her again.

Jacques: You mean him.

Mysterious Woman: Right... what did I say?

Jacques: Her.

Mysterious Woman: Oh.

Jacques: How do you know?

Mysterious Woman: What?

Jacques: That leaving your child with a Thénardier is so awful.

Mysterious Woman: I've done it, of course! And if I hadn't, you, me, and Cosette would all be living happily somewhere in the Parisian countryside.

Jacques: Cosette? You mean, the crazy old man's daughter?

Mysterious Woman: My daughter. Your sister.

Jacques: The crying girl obsessed with Marius Pontmercy was my sister?

Mysterious Woman: What do you mean, was?

Jacques: Well, she'd dead.

Mysterious Woman: What? NOOO!

(She disappears in a cloud of tears.)

Jacques: Wait, aren't you dead too...? Never mind, then.

(And, realizing that what she said is true, he returns to the group.)
