[Spock's mind moaned in agony at the savage memories that Jim projected. Finding Jim's essence, he curled into it, giving both comfort, and looking for some in return.
How could anyone in this universe be so brutal? Spock wasn't naive, he knew there were inexplicable atrocities that happened everyday. That there was cruelty in abundance. But Spock has never felt anything like this before. He marveled for a moment, thinking that if he was ever in this situation, he may not have survived. If it was just a physical assault, maybe. But a young Vulcan, who can feel another's thoughts through touch, being assaulted like that? That has death written all over it. If not death, then permanent insanity. There would be no way he could have survived such a vile crime.
And to a child no less.
Sure Spock had received a lot of grief from his peers, but there were never any adults on Vulcan that gave him such a hard time. To a mature Vulcan, children were considered sacred, something to be celebrated and treated with respect. To think that such crimes happened to a child was very sad.
Spock almost didn't want the memories to continue. But to deny them would be to deny Jim... ... so he asked for more.]
