The city is a waste of time, but there are worse situations that Jim Kirk can think of being in. At least there's plenty of eye candy in Chicago. At least it still isn't Riverside. But it's not the ship, either, and that's what bothers him about the whole situation.
So he goes out walking. He's stir crazy, and maybe it shows on his face, if you know him. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe all you see is that self-assured grin, the grin that could run the whole world if used in the right place at the right time. Hard to say. But as the minutes pass, Jim realizes he'd give anything to have his bike back again. That would be more freedom than this is, this walking through a big city as if he's just nobody.
But he isn't nobody, and that's the bad part about this city! He's James Tiberius Kirk, goddamnit, and that's supposed to mean something now. Instead, it just means he's lost and can't find his way back.
Okay, so it does show.
