It's not that Adam is weak, but the sting means different things to them.
To Ronan, these injuries give him power. For Adam, his injuries were
something that took power away from him. He doesn't mind the sting, doesn't
mind that Adam is touching them because it is Adam.
Ronan swallows hard because there's nothing he can do to give Adam what he
wants. There's nothing he can do to get any of them home. Rather than
answer, Ronan wraps his arms tight around Adam and holds him.
