You may have fooled Damar into believing that you’re here to fight the Dominion, but I know why you’re really here.
"You want her dead too, Damar. I know you do. But you're the leader
of the rebellion and don't want to kill someone wearing a Starfleet
uniform. Let me do it for you."
you can see where Damar just breaks and it’s heartbreaking and that hint of a nod he gives Kira there is basically the Cardassian equivalent of “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I finally see what we actually did to you and now I realize what this feels like and I’m sorry" and then Garak’s all like “hey major that was a good thing you just did you made a Cardassian see your point of view you are a powerful person you’re gonna go somewhere" meanwhile Kira’s all like “fuck that was stupid of me" when it really was probably the one thing that made Damar realize he had to follow her lead and do what she had done for the Bajoran people for his own
Incredibly powerful and poignant. I’m so glad someone screencapped this. Example 1/bajillions of why DS9 is and will always be my favorite.
It’s just Garak - plain, simple Garak.
