Later, in a pre-surgical recording of Iliana, she mentioned that her mother looked unhappy all the time.

Tekeny later gave "Iliana" her mother's bracelet to remember her by. When it was determined that Kira was not Iliana, she tried to give the bracelet back, but he told her to keep it, as she was the closest thing he had to family. (DS9: "Second Skin")
