There is something to be said about determination; I think Terrans
and Cardassians are equally matched in that respect. It was that sheer
will of his which had become the sole reason Garak was still alive, the
sole reason we were still alive. Of course, we had been willing to
come up with a different plan to escape and we had voiced as much.
But Garak had sat up, thrown off the covers, and quipped something
about not wanting to ruin the general's song....
He had become my Garak again.
