River missed Kaylee, and her roommate was a very odd man, even stranger than Mal was prone to be. Christopher had all but vanished, sadly, and Claire's brain was broken. She knew that, eventually, Claire would go back to normal and Topher would come back, but it didn't stop her feeling lonely. She was used to having crew around, and now it was just her.
She walked along the top of a low wall that ran along the sidewalk, feet bare like always, until she spotted a bumper sticker that made her stop and tilt her head to the side in confusion. I hate bumper stickers. She blinked and walked over, removing it from the car. It was an inherent paradox and it bothered her. She continued walking over to a trash can and dropped the bumper sticker in. Now the person wouldn't have something they hated on their car. She continued, removing a few other contradictory bumper stickers as she went.
