as someone else recently said, everything about “doctor bashir, i presume?” is painful but one of the worst scenes to me (i’ll start crying every time - if i’m not yet crying by then) is what ben does after julian’s father has agreed to his prison sentence. julian is standing there, stunned, and ben touches his arm ever so lightly and says “take your time”. and then he leaves. he leaves his own office through one of the side doors to give julian and his parents some privacy. how many times over the course of the show does ben leave his own office to someone else? and specifically to give them some space?

#and it’s an interaction that seems so self-evident to both of them#like yes julian is shocked but ben’s gesture and his words don’t come as a surprise to him
