[ Rafa, very abruptly, does not want to talk about this. He doesn't want to talk about it being temporary. He doesn't want to even think about that, because he does not do temporary. Not when he feels like this.

He shouldn't feel like this, because Vex is right. It is temporary, and he shouldn't be doing this. He should have walked away from this a long time ago.

The thing is, Rafa doesn't really walk away, either. Irritated, he shoves Vex against the wall. ]

Do not say that to me. You do not get to decide who matters to me. I do not want you to tell people the things you told Shane. I do not want you to say it, or anyone to think it, because it is not true. That is why I brought you here. Not to tell me how temporary we are.

[ He lets go, backing off a step. ]

I am not listening to that.
