-The natural transformation $\beta:\mathrm{nat}(1_{\bf D},GF)$ squeezes every set $X\in {\bf D}$ into a set $GFX\in {\bf D}$ (although this need not be surjective or injective). The natural transformation $\alpha:\mathrm{nat}(FG,1_{\bf C})$ squeezes all sets $FGX$ in the image of $FG$ back into $X$. The latter operation gets rid of lots $FG$'s without changing the structural properties of ${\bf C}$.+The natural transformation $\beta:​1_{\bf D}\xrightarrow{\bullet}GF$ squeezes every set $X\in {\bf D}$ into a set $GFX\in {\bf D}$ (although this need not be surjective or injective). The natural transformation $\alpha:FG\xrightarrow{\bullet}1_{\bf C}$ squeezes all sets $FGX$ in the image of $FG$ back into $X$.

 The point is that [[my equivalence of categories]] and [[Counit-unit adjunction]] are two different important special cases of nice nats. In the former case, the two nats actually shift the whole content of a category internally. In the latter case, the two nats end up defining the shifting operations of a [[monad]]. The point is that [[my equivalence of categories]] and [[Counit-unit adjunction]] are two different important special cases of nice nats.
