garak being a kind and soft person at his core, while still being able to kill people and sleep at night are important, coexisting parts of his contradictory personality and are big reasons for why he's so compelling, but so difficult to write
garak can feel guilt and shame, garak can premeditatively kill without thinking twice about it after the fact.
garak can feel legitimate regret in empok nor for actions that werent really his own, and he can sleep like a baby after destroying vreenak's shuttle.
necessary deaths don't mean a thing to him. not even when that death is his own. (broken link)
