“I missed my father’s death by less than an hour.
Did you know that? Less than an hour! I always told myself that it was… bad luck, bad timing - will of the Prophets. But the truth is… I didn’t have to go when I did. I could have stayed a while longer. I saw my chance to get out and I took it. I saw so much death during the Occupation, I felt so much pain… But my father… he was my strength. And I… I couldn’t stand to see that strength slipping away. So I ran.”
Jake. I wanted to talk to you about something. I spoke with your grandfather and he told me that he asked you to go live with him. Even if this sector weren’t on the brink of war, I would like to see you leave the station.

All right. You stay a while longer if you want to. But you have to promise me when the time comes and I tell you to go, you’ll do it.

I’m still disappointed these two both had kisses with women during the show’s run, but it wasn’t with each other. Just because it was Ezri in the second one… doesn’t count. I wanted Kira/Jadzia.
