[Kira's face. She looks troubled, which even during the worst of times, is unlike her.]

Scott's recovering despite the best efforts of some people.

Dr. Facilier's rooms are gone. He didn't graduate. Is it a failure if an inmate leaves before graduating?

[Because it feels like a failure to Kira.]

[Kira worries her lip a little bit in a manner reminiscient of Lydia.] I guess...if it's happened before, then it's a known phenomenon and nothing the Admiral can blame anybody for. Except maybe himself. I always figured he assigned wardens to inmates with the belief that he thought they could succeed, even in the long term.

Next time I'll do better.

I don't think 'e sets any of us up to fail, my darling. Think of the amount of power it's got to take to 'old all these people 'ere, away from their own realities, in violation of their natural timelines, in defiance of their 'istorical deaths. This ship's alive and she's keeping a lot of plates in the air just keeping all of us fed and breathing.

Sometimes a plate 'as to drop. You couldn't do a two year job in six months - that's not your fault. With Doctor Facilier you would've just made things worse if you'd tried to rush 'im, anyway.

[There's a little smile. It's not full-blown, not given the circumstances, but it's something, hey?]

Thank you, Iris.

I'll consider it a learning experience. If nothing else I'm adaptable.
