She understands how liberating it can be to have the chance to be someone else, someone that you can discover. It's fortunate that Inara happens to like younger, awkward, entirely uncertain of themselves men.

It's a side of herself that she's not comfortable showing anyone, even in this place where she's supposed to get a fresh start.
