Sittin' in the pilot's seat feels odd, now, with all that happened, and still like he could just reach out and touch Wash and hear his suggestions and the steady pace of his breath as he flew their ship with the most expert touch in the 'verse.

"We all need a break," River says, coming in, and Mal looks up and smiles at her with the tears still stinging his eyes, because she might be River but she says what Wash always did.
