I didn't say Asra didn't communicate he wasn't interested, I only ever said that the way Asra communicated it wasn't enough for Julian to get the hint because Julian was blinded, so what Asra should have done is stepped up and explicitly said it since he could clearly see Julian wasn't getting it by other means.

I also never said Julian didn't know their relationship was purely sexual. I said Julian was so unstable and wanted Asra so much he was ready to say yes to any relationship Asra would have with him, either a sexual one or a real one, he would take anything because he wasn't emotionally stable.

When Asra told him he couldn't give Julian what he wanted, that didn't matter to Julian because he was ready to take anything since he wasn't well, but in that moment Asra was made aware of Julian's state which was where he should've stopped.

And he didn't stop. He knew and he didn't stop.
