[It's an agonizing four minutes for Jim. He's backed off mentally, letting Spock re-organize himself in peace. He hates how helpless he feels right now--emotional responses were never his strong suit and this went far beyond what he was capable of helping with and he knows it. All he can do is wait it out.
Jim feels a slight relief when Spock opens his eyes though can't quite shake how disturbing it is to see Spock isn't maintaining his usually perfect posture. Just how exhausted he looks is jarring. When Jim speaks it's quiet.]
