After Jadzia's death Worf's personal computer quickly fills up with messages of condolence. They come from all corners of the quadrant, from Alexander on the Ya Vang, from his foster parents on earth and from his former colleagues on the Enterprise. Worf deletes them all without reply, what Jadzia needs now is action, not words.

Then he receives a message from Dr Lenara Kahn on Trill. The message talks about how her previous host Nilani had grieved for her husband Torias Dax, about how she wishes she'd been brave enough to stay with Jadzia and how glad she is that Jadzia managed to find happiness with someone else. For the first time since the loss of Jadzia Worf feels something other than anger, he feels pity for this woman who lost Dax not once but twice because she did not have the courage or the honour to follow her heart.
