Imagine you’re on DS9 and you need to get your suit altered and you avoid going to garaks for the longest time because you’ve heard scary spy stuff (obsidian order?) but you have a wedding to go to so you finally bite the bullet and bring your suit and he smiles and goes “of course. ;)” and even though the smile makes you unbelievably uneasy you get the sense that through all of this he’s got a reputation for being incredibly professional so you push the worries aside
and then improbable cause happens and his shop blows up with your suit in it and you’re like I FINALLY BROUGHT MY SUIT AND THEN THE SHOP BLOWS UP??! And since garak is still alive, you avoid going to him to ask about the suit because he’s recovering from the explosion and he’s the obvious target so you want to stay as far away from him as possible but even though you’re upset that your suit was damaged it’s not his fault you assume that his past caught up with him and he’s trying to move on in his own way
and then you find out that garak blew up the shop ON PURPOSE
I would be so mad
