[ This is a nightmare. The clouds open, searing beams of sunlight that might as well be lasers to Rafa. Hunter's body keeps him in shade, but Hunter's body won't be able to take this for much longer than Rafa's. This is not a solution. It's just buying them time.
But time to do what? Fight each other, hurt each other? Rafa can't treat Hunter like his other opponents. He's aware of the ring of guards pressing closer, and of an electric charge in the air. The guards won't be weaponless, and it's clear that they're tightening their vice.
Rafa stares up at Hunter, fear solidifying behind his eyes. ]
No! I won't, I won't hurt you. I don't care what they do.
[ He can take it. He doesn't care if they torture him with the sun, with relics, with whatever they want. They won't make him hurt his husband. Rafa touches his face, holding it gently, but he remains resolute. ]
