it's so fitting that, when the instrumental version of "bring him home" plays in the end of "the final battle", enjolras' body appears during the "the summers die one by one" verse. firstly, because the reference to summer evokes how enjolras is compared to apollo, a god associated with the sun, in the novel. but, most importantly, because it indicates that, in the same way that a summer ends and gives way to the cold, but one which is eventually followed by another summer, enjolras' revolutionary ideals can be repressed through his murder, but will always resurface due to the effort of others like him, throughout history. the summers die one by one. but even the darkest night—and the coldest winter—will end and the sun will rise.
