The fact is that the universe is going to stop expanding and it is going to collapse in on itself. We have to do something before it is too late.
How much time do we have left?
60 trillion years. 70 at the most.
Oh, no.

The fact is that the universe is going to stop expanding and it is going to collapse in on itself. We have to do something before it is too late.
How much time do we have left?
60 trillion years. 70 at the most.
Oh, no.
If I had to choose someone to replace Atlas and hold up the world, it'd be Miles. He'd do it with a smile, too. And Kira. She never doubts herself. Which is what Odo finds so fascinating, because he doubts everything but her.
What about Ezri?
[considers] The moment she realizes she's more than just the sum of her parts, she's really going to be something.
I can't believe you saw all that after only just a few hours. I'm going to have to start putting on my poker face.
Too late. You've already given yourself away.
Really? [Sarina nods] And how would you describe me?
Compassionate. Brilliant. Lonely.
Well, two out of three isn't bad.
Which two?
That would be telling.
Sarina. Talk to me… please. I know you can. What’s wrong? Is it me? If it is, don’t be afraid. I’m going to do whatever it takes to make it right… because I love you. I want us to be together. Tell me. Do you love me?
I don’t know. I don’t even understand what love is. I don’t understand anything.
Sarina—
What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to feel? Tell me. I want to make you happy. I owe you everything.
Shh. You don’t owe me. You don’t owe me anything.
I’m sorry. I wish I could be the woman you want me to be.
Shh.
How could I have been so blind? What was I thinking, trying to move things along so fast? She needed time. I didn’t give it to her. I came this close to driving her back inside herself. I’m supposed to be a doctor. I’m supposed to put my patient’s needs above my own.
You didn’t want to be lonely anymore. Nobody does.
