Adult Jake Sisko : You should read more.

Melanie : Is that what happened to you?
Adult Jake Sisko : No - I suppose not.

Melanie : Thank you - for everything.

Adult Jake Sisko : I... want you to promise me something.
Melanie : Anything!
Adult Jake Sisko : While you're studying my stories, poke your head up every once in a while. Take a look around. See what's going on. It's life, Melanie.
Melanie : And you can miss it if you don't open your eyes.

Melanie : I savoured those stories. I read them slowly, one each day. And when I was done, I wished I hadn't read them at all. So I could read them again, like it was the first time.
