Captain Jean-Luc Picard standing in his quarters. He looks tired, perhaps, and he is desperately clutching a small flute with both hands pulled against his chest. The room is dimly lit. He's just lived a lifetime with friends and a loving family through a probe from a thousand year extinct civilization.

He's just lived a lifetime with friends and a loving family through a probe from a thousand year extinct civilization.

thinking about the final scene in the tng episode "the inner light" again and getting emotional. the way he holds the flute and just stands there for a moment. its the only connection to the family he had in the memory banks of the alien probe, dead for a thousand years
