#04 – Rage
McCoy didn't understand it, how they could simply move on as if Jim's second-in-command and closest friend hadn't 'killed' him. After the adrenaline wore off, and after a few lengthy and relentless heart-to-hearts, the incident was classified and dropped accordingly. The psychologist in him didn't get how the Captain could simply let it go.
Spock himself finally pitied him enough to explain that, in openly naming two humans as friends and in pleading for Kirk's life before the familial matriarch, he had thoroughly shamed his family and honor – and that the Captain, illogically enough, considered that sufficient recompense.
