[Jim knew the loss of Vulcan had greatly hurt Spock. How could it not? Seeing your home die like that, seeing your mother die... he had been spared watching the death of his own parent.
But he had never truly grasped how very... intrinsic it was to a Vulcan, and certainly not to Spock.
He gulped, not wanting to look, to see the carnage, the devastation.
Instead he turned to Spock.... and hugged him.]
It'll be okay.
[Because for some reason, that needed to be said, as if saying it would make it true.]
