					ODO
			It's difficult to explain...

	His calmness only stokes Kira's anger and frustration --

					KIRA 
			Rom is sitting in a holding cell 
			being interrogated! He was 
			counting on you. I was counting 
			on you.

					ODO
			I know.

					KIRA
			You know!
				(anger rising) 
			Do you realize you handed the 
			Alpha Quadrant to the Dominion?

					ODO
			I was in the Link.

	Odo says this as if it were explanation enough...

					KIRA
				(disbelieving) 
			Are you telling me you forgot?

					ODO
			I didn't forget. It just... 
			didn't seem to matter.

					KIRA
			You know!
				(incredulous) 
			A lot of people are going to die -- 
			don't you care?

					ODO
			It has nothing to do with me.

					KIRA
				(stunned) 
			How can you say that?

					ODO
			If you could experience the Link, 
			you'd know why nothing else 
			matters.

					KIRA
			The last five years... your life 
			here... our friendship -- none of 
			that matters?
