[ Leonard grimaces, the sight hard to watch, even with how little he knows about Jim. If he stopped the ship around them from lurching, and saved the lives of a vessel this big, then he's just made a huge sacrifice.
A huge, stupid, selfless sacrifice. All that anger drains right out of him.
Bones has seen people die countless times. It's part of being a doctor -- you can't save 'em all. But this is different somehow, and he leans against the door, watching as Jim falls apart even in his 'success.' ]
Jim...
[ This is the kind of man Jim Kirk is, apparently. Even in his nightmares. What a truly insane man. Bones can tell there's no saving him -- maybe in another life, with another set of memories, he'd do everything in his power to find a way to reverse the poisoning, or do something. But Bones can see the certainty in his eyes. Jim said he'd had this dream before. He already knows how this ends. ]
You did a damn good thing.
[ Bones pushes in as close as he can, giving Kirk something to focus on. Giving the man clarity in what must surely be his final moments. Bones is a good doctor, after all. ]
