Grief:

McCoy enters to find Jim softly crying.

Jim I know you must be sad, but please stop crying. You've been going at for days now.

I know Bones, I know but I can't, my soul aches.

Pull yourself together man. Don't risk everything you have over this. Your Ship Needs You, Hell your crew needs you. Come back to us Jim.

I'm trying, but he's gone, just gone. He believed in me even when you and Spock didn't. No One has ever loved me like that.

Jim, McCoy says, I believe in you and I love you, what can I do? You don't love me the way he did Bones. Just let me be sad, Let me cry. I need time to grieve, this universe needs to grieve. I'm lost Bones. You, Spock, and the crew want your Jim, your Captain back. I can't come back to you as I was. I'm broken now, my universe is gone.

Jim, Spock enters, you are not alone, nor are you broken. Because of him, I understand and recognize your loss, I'm here Thylla. We will give you time to grieve; just promise me when you are ready that we can share in the remembrance of him together.

Yes, I promise Spock, but just let me cry for now.
