The captain forgets things cause he needs to, forgets what home is, where the sky and sun are big, so that this can be home, where the sky is endless and they never land for long. Zoe forgets war, forgets bodies left behind, so she can sleep with Wash's fingers in her hair and his mouth at the back of her neck. Kaylee forgets her daddy so she doesn't know lonely. Inara forgets Mal's name, so she won't say it. Simon doesn't forget things, not like she does, not like everyone else does either. River forgets everything but their secrets.
