[ Dark aura? Rohan barely even notices, and this is more owed to how little he cares about how someone else may feel than any genuine obliviousness. Gilbert can seethe over his problems later on. Right now, Rohan's problems take precedence.

He's thankful that someone's finally acknowledging him, but he's not quite thankful enough to look grateful about it. Now comes the difficult part -- Rohan has to ask for help without actually, asking for help. ]

Could you not see how long I have been stuck here? [ To prove his point, he tries to free himself again, leaning away from the wall. Like a strong magnetic force, he's pulled right back toward the wall again, his back lining up exactly where he had started. He can shift along the sides of the wall, but he can't seem to break contact with it. ]

Or are you simply the type of person to turn away when someone is clearly in need? [ This counts as asking for help, right? In some weird, passive-aggressive, roundabout way. He's nailing it.

Rohan doesn't actually think being the type of person indifferent to the plight of others is all that bad, because he's the same. He'll say anything he can to manipulate this person into helping him though. ]
