better alternate endings for 'Duet'

-the Bajoran provisional government just goes ahead and does a show trial for Gul Darhe'el using Marritza as a body double per his wishes, to keep up the general morale and to piss off the Cardassian government, which keeps calling to yell HE IS NO MORE, HE HAS CEASED TO BE, HE'S EXPIRED, but no one believes them

-the Bajoran provisional government does a real trial for Marritza because he was still pretty complicit in some atrocities and they don't really care that he's sad about it even though Kira does

-Kainon fails to instantaneously knife Marritza to death so he actually has to go back home and we get to watch him awkwardly try to resume his own life even though he's like legally dead and got plastic surgery to look like a war criminal and gave all of his stuff away

-Kira asks Marritza to do a normal gesture of penance appropriate to his crime, such as for example: testifying about what happened at Gallitep so the Bajoran people can know the truth, since the Cardassian military destroyed all the records when they left and also he was the file clerk and HIS SPECIES HAS AN EIDETIC MEMORY
