  "Wait!" James called out, his voice ced with desperation. "Senior brother Dwip, please! We know yood at this. We need your help. A lot of people have been scammed, and we don't know what to do."

  Dwip stopped in his tracks, turning to face them. A hint of amusement flickered in his eyes. "And why should I help you?" he asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I'm not a charity."
