					O'BRIEN
			I thought it was three sisters
			and two brothers.

					BASHIR
			I don't think so...

					O'BRIEN
			You sure?

					BASHIR
			Are you?

	They both look at Ezri.

					EZRI
			Don't look at me, we never
			discussed his family. Mostly he
			talked about the Academy... or
			about you two.

					BASHIR
			Us?

					EZRI
			He really admired both of you.

	A long beat of silence.

					BASHIR
			We should've let him come to the
			holosuite with us.

					O'BRIEN
			You're right, we should've...

					EZRI
			I just wish I hadn't left his
			quarters so quickly... maybe he'd
			still be alive.

					BASHIR
			Or maybe you'd be dead along with
			him.

	Another long, awkward silence.
