Kira’s obvious love and adoration of Ghemor, his return of the sentiment; two people that lost their family in the occupation and have found a new family in each other, with the beautiful parallel of Kira showing her not-father her not-son but both are her family! Her crippling guilt about leaving her father to die alone, especially with him repeatedly asking her not to leave, and how seeing Ghemor, her father figure and also a Cardassian, one of those responsible for the occupation and therefor the death of her family, in a similar state, and using his past as an excuse to not visit him in the end before changing her mind. The gentle way Bashir tries to coax her to visit and later his support of her facing her fears and her trauma, not just of her fathers death, but her own guilt associated with it. The beautiful, beautiful ending of the camera zooming out and us seeing that she has buried Ghemor next to her father, on the hillside that was once barren end empty, now covered in bright green grass and beautiful flowers.
