She thinks back to the days when she could easily say, “I support unification”, and frowns. Those days were not that long ago, but now that her opinion has been changed, they feel a lifetime away. They were simpler times, easier. She wasn’t nearly as caught up in politics then, or anywhere near as concerned about hidden agendas. She was foolish.
Her time on Serenity has done much for her but most of all, it has opened her eyes to the unjust. So much pain and darkness is present in the universe and it is impossible to avoid. Things like Alliance control can be voted against though. It can be challenged. After what she has seen – the death and the aftermath of what happened at Miranda at the hands of the Alliance – her opinions have changed. Hardened.
The Alliance isn’t the epitome of all that is right in the world and all that will right the world. In fact, it is the body of injustice. They ignore people on the outer planets. They experiment with innocents’ brains and change them for the rest of their lives. They are notably ungoverned for what is supposed to be the most powerful and influential government. The system is broken.
No longer can she turn a blind eye to it and pretend everything is shiny. The days are darker now, and her mind, clearer.
