He fiddles with his left forearm, peeling away flesh from the bone with a touch of his fingers and smoothing it back down again, much the same way someone else might pick at a loose thread on their sleeve. It parts along the line of the old scar there, whose counterpart he can't see now under the shirt the other Jim is wearing. But a minute ago, looking him over, he felt very clearly that it was two inches too high.
