Her eyes opened to a grocery store. She was sitting on a bench near the entrance. She should probably eat something, but she wasn't hungry. She knew that if she didn't eat soon she would die. She didn't really care either way.

River blinked. She was back in the dead city, on the dead planet. Back with her crew.

Kaylee turned around and yelped.
