[What the viewer sees first is hair. Long black hair obscuring the lens of the camera while River fiddles with it. The camera and the girl are both on the floor, and she leans back eventually, sitting against the foot of her bed while she talks.

She never looks directly at the camera.]

There are too many choices.

People talk about getting to go home. Going back to rebuild. I hear them in the halls, in their rooms. Making plans.

But what of the rest of us? The homeless. The lost. The ones who came after the dragon, who never settled.

I opened my eyes and there was snow. I walked where they told me to, stayed where they told me to, and that was easy. And now they give us choices.

Which train to take?

Which life to choose?

I taught an artist about infinity. Or tried, at least. I'm not certain he understood the concept completely but the conversation was interesting.

A man texted me and we're talking about how terrible Jayne is. Very good fun. I see the potential for a lifelong bond, there.

I'm sure it was. >[Honestly, Inara has always thought herself to be intelligent but next to River, she didn't always feel that way.]

Is that so? [She chuckles.] I'm sure that was an interesting conversation and I'm certain you had a lot to say since Jayne does quite a lot of horrible things.
