“I try to do the same things, hit the same notes, but my hands are not his hands and her song is not the same as before.”
“She responds, don’t she?” Kaylee asked.
“Yes, but it’s mechanical, response to stimulus only. There is no passion in it.”

As River walked away, Kaylee realized that perhaps the pilot wasn’t talking about the ship after all.
