So, not very long it's just an extended conceit.
And here I can see that they do apply it directly to each other, rather than leave that aspect unspoken.
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Probably so in that instance.

That's what "There is nothing to see." delivered with that tinge of sadness might lead one to believe. Or maybe the Big Damn Sequel (Or Little Damned Pilot Mark II) will open with The Op walking away from a garbage can with a burning sword in it. Operative ... NO MORE!

Let's go down to the beach and shoot some clams.
And Abe Vigoda's final line in that ep was hysterical.
