        DEEP SPACE NINE: "Chimera" - REV. 12/16/98 - ACT FIVE       48.

53   INT. KIRA'S QUARTERS

	Kira is standing before the Bajoran Altar in her
	room, praying softly. She looks like she's been
	crying -- the resolve with which she said good-bye to
	Odo gave way to tears in the privacy of her
	quarters.

					KIRA
			Watch over him... help him find
			his way.

	A moment, then the door CHIMES.

					KIRA
			Yes.

	The door OPENS, revealing Odo. Their eyes lock
	across the room for a long moment...

					KIRA
			I didn't think I'd see you
			again...

					ODO
			I couldn't go...

	A long beat, then they move into each other's arms,
	hold each other close...

					KIRA
				(softly)
			Odo, if I've ever made you feel
			that you can't be yourself when
			you're with me, I'm sorry. I
			want to know you -- the way you
			really are.

	A moment as they look into each other's eyes. Odo
	looks at her questioningly, and she nods as if to
	say go ahead. A beat, then...

54   ODO (OPTICAL)

	quickly MORPHS upward in a SWIRL of motion.
