The moment Hunter says the word go, Jim's heartrate immediately spikes and he grabs the other man's arm to stop him from moving away. "No. Don't... don't leave me alone. Please."

Part of him is still afraid that this isn't real. That if Hunter walks away and leaves him by himself, then he'll wake up back in the Nightmare, starving and desperate. Or worse. He hasn't been alone since before the party, not that he remembers. Hunter isn't his counterpart, didn't experience the same horrors that they relived in living, nauseating color. But after spending what feels like weeks sticking close to the only person he could trust, the idea of being alone is unnerving at best.

At least by now, he's pretty much clean, the paleness of his skin making his injuries stand out all the more. And he's actually responding to Hunter now, not just rambling hysterically without any context.
