People think the captain’s face is hard to read, not for River though.
They have the same face, pains melted away every mask good and bad leaving only being behind.
It makes them different from others; their faces show what is, nothing else.
On Mal’s face you can see authority, impatience, concern, and contentment when he stares into the black.
On River’s one sees joy, fear, confusion, and anger; but they don’t connect to things, those men took that away.
People don’t know what they see when there’s no masks.
Funny how she and Mal scare the others so much.
