In which Terry Farrell is so beautiful I want to cry…

"The funeral service is due to begin in a few minutes, Jadzia, but I need to talk to you one last time. When I first met you, you told me that my relationship with Jadzia Dax wouldn’t be any different than the one I had with Curzon Dax. Things didn’t work out that way. I had a hell of a lot of fun with both of you. Curzon was my mentor. You…you were my friend. And I am going to miss you. I should’ve listened to the Prophets and not gone to Cardassia. Then maybe you’d still be alive. Dammit! Why aren’t you still here, Jadzia? I need you to help me sort things out. Something’s happened to the Prophets. Something…that’s made them turn their backs on Bajor, and I’m responsible. And I don’t know what to do about it…how to make it right again. I’ve failed as the Emissary, and for the first time in my life I’ve failed in my duty as a Starfleet officer. I need time to think…clear my head. But I can’t do it here, not on the station, not now. I need to get away, and…find a way to figure out how to make things right again. I have to make things right again, Jadzia. I have to."
