#2arc

Soo, some of you might remember that I mentioned the second arc a few times, mostly in the context of Eugène, and the beginning of it is quite a crucial point - so I'm going to briefly retell it.

The second arc starts with a movement meeting - a regular small one, notable mostly by ghe fact that Clopin wasn't with them on that day as it was a more inner meeting mostly concerning certain funding questions, and his colleagues assured him he can take a day off. By accident, exactly on this day one of the gendarmerie officers, following his own biased reasoning and the old order of checking the "real state" of the movement's affairs, decided to break the current course of action and formed an unsanctioned raid on this meeting. Which, of curse, was followed by quite a commotion, started unintentionally by two movement members and, without hesitation, continued by the gendarmes. With that, of course, the clash between gendarmerie and the movement, previously subsided by Eugène Richard's new methods, started again, and lead to a very strained situation from both sides - which worsened sufficiently by the fact that Eugène, while trying to maintain at least some peace, started to develop an illness which even his doctors couldn't understand.
