   Summary

   After the mind meld attempted by Spock to bring Jim back from the brink on Amerind seemingly goes off without a hitch, the captain is not left entirely whole.

   An exploration of what happens when one has lost what is dear, only to find that sometimes the mind cannot be trusted with matters of the heart.

   This work is complete.
