On this journey, we disguised ourselves and followed closely behind those insurgents, sometimes even joining their attacks, because I discovered that the government forces were stationed outside the Security Department building, making me suspicious of the army's intentions. After all, in Paris, nothing is trustworthy, and it's always good to be cautious of others.
The snipers among the insurgents aimlessly fired shots into the Security Department's Saint-Roch courtyard throughout the latter half of the night, but hit nothing, as I wouldn't foolishly stand there as a target.
I spent nearly the entire night wandering around the vicinity. By daytime, the Great Paris Police Hall was in no better shape. The entire Île de la Cité had been turned into a fortress by the insurgent troops, ready for attack at any moment.
