Why this must be read: This has got to be a missing scene from the episode "The Message." It is canon in my mind. Simon and Kaylee speak briefly after Tracey's funeral, and the characterization and poetry of the conversation are absolutely perfect.
She sighed. “Yeah. I don’t mind living in the black, but sometimes you just wanna see a sky, y’know?”
He stepped up beside her. “I know. I miss going to the mountains on…” he trailed off. “I miss mountains.”
“You have mountains in the Core?”
“Of course. Nearly every planet has mountains, even if they’re not all covered with snow. When we’d go to the White Chalet on Osiris, they’d make the snow if none had fallen naturally.”
Startled, Kaylee glanced at him. “Why would anyone want to do that?”
“Skiing. Snowboarding. Some people just liked the experience of seeing something so beautiful.”
“Beautiful,” she repeated. “Y’know, I think there’s something better about seeing it like this, all natural instead of made fake for the rich folk to enjoy.”
