Life has not been spectacular for Jim lately, and he is feeling it noticeably. Although the new medicine is working wonders for his spasticity, it makes him feel tired and light-headed, and his heart races faster than usual. But his cane is really only for the good feeling it makes in his hand, a kind of magic feather that he prefers over suspicious little capsules.
Also, the last argument with Nathan has unsettled him more than he thought it would. Part of him wants to argue that it doesn't mean anything, but Nathan's insistence that he doesn't know him, and his own lingering doubts and insecurities, aren't helping him put it aside.
He hangs in Mike's door in anticipation of their Friday-afternoon coffee outing looking rather inconsolable, although he doesn't realise it.
