“Confessions and Lamentations” · Season 2
In this episode: Delenn (5), John Sheridan (3), Stephen Franklin (1), Lennier (1)
They are in pain. Frightened. Dying. Minbari are taught that, at such a times, the afflicted should be ministered to, comforted.
They're not your own people, Delenn!
I didn't know that similarity was required for the exercise of compassion.
[Delenn is in Sheridan's quartiers to ask permission for her and Lennier to enter the quarantine zone.]

W--Delenn! [She stops and looks back.] When I do see you again...call me John?
She has separated from her mother. Please find her.
[looks around, somewhat lost] How?
[to Lennier] Faith manages.
[turning to Markab girl] What is her name?

What happens next time?
What happens? What happens is that we honor the memory of those who are no longer with us by using what we have learned to save others. To exercise faith and patience and charity. To reach out to those who are afraid. If we can do that, then their passing will have had meaning and we will grow from it.
