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.
