River sees Simon crying though there are no tears on his face

She sees Inara’s anguish in her alluring walk

She sees Mal’s home Shadow, now just a burnt shell

She sees Kaylee’s poor, but happy home crowded and colorful

She sees Hera and Mal’s heartbreak through Zoe’s eyes

She sees the fellow prisoners laughing at Wash’s shadow puppets forgetting for a little while

She sees Book’s rows of vegetables thriving as he prays for forgiveness

She sees Jayne slowly writing to his mother always tucking credits into the envelope

River wishes he could see who she used to be.
