    Summary

    James T. Kirk dies saving the Enterprise.

    For Spock, the moment between Jim’s last breath and the silence that follows destroys every careful explanation he has ever given for what exists between them.

    Then Jim comes back.

    Survival should make things simpler.

    Instead, it leaves Jim and Spock facing everything they never said, a connection neither of them fully understands, and choices that cannot be made by logic, duty, fear, or love alone.

    Because coming back from death is one thing.

    Figuring out how to live afterward may be harder.
