					KIRA
			Somehow I don't think he'd be
			saying that if the Cardassians had
			won.

					ZIYAL
			Maybe not. But maybe losing made
			him a better person.

					KIRA
			Then a lot of innocent people died
			to pay for his education.

	Ziyal nods thoughtfully.

					ZIYAL
			I know. I think about that a lot.
			But when I look at my father, I
			have a hard time seeing a
			murderer.

					KIRA
			And when I look at him, I have a
			hard time seeing anything else.

					ZIYAL
			My father says the two of you have
			a lot in common. That you both
			did things during the war that you
			regret. That's why he cares so
			much about what you think of him.

	This is a lot for Kira to ponder.

					KIRA
			Ziyal, what your father really
			wants from me is forgiveness. And
			that's one thing I can never give
			him.
				(a beat)
			Now I think we should concentrate
			on getting you comfortable with
			this weapon.
