North is the only one even slightly self-aware right now, and it's not even full. He's entrenched in the dream right along with Maine and Wash. He has no idea what's going on, but what he does know is that Sigma is here, somewhere, some form of him, and that he's getting after Maine.
North won't let it happen again.
The scene changes pummel his psyche with fear and guilt, but he fights through it. He fights through it because Maine is suffering somewhere in front of him. He fights through it because Wash is here and no amount of arguing makes North think of him as any less of a teammate.
So when they return to the cliff, and Maine sinks to his knees and curls over, North reaches for him. He grabs for his hands, and he holds onto him.
