However, and unfortunate for Solty, Yoroshiku was suffering from a rare condition that causes him to spit out blood (about similar to Izumi's condition in FMA), and as a result, the plane crashes and explodes, with Yoroshiku found dead in the wreckage.

After viewing episode 15:

Spoiler:

Too bad for Roy but he doesn't know that Rose is still alive. And the guy that Solty just met comes to an untimely end. Will is his name "yoroshiku" is an expression in Japanese that translates "nice to meet you". Anyway i think we won't be seeing Rose for some time yet.
