[ Rose isn't sure what she was expecting in confiding in Rey, but has to admit it wasn't quite that. She'd known that the other woman was something beyond human. What, exactly, had alluded her. Granted, she'd never made it her business to know.
Still, she mentions being angry at being reassembled. Rose remembers the rage burning her alive from the inside that she'd felt at first upon waking up back in Haven West. The hot tears she'd cried, how she could barely look anyone in the eyes. It burned through her and left cold ashes in its wake. She felt hollow and miserable and betrayed. She'd gone to Haven East to die, but she was still alive and it was the last thing she wanted. How could they think she was anything worth saving?
Then they lit a spark of hope in her heart in the form a bomb, exploding a building within Haven's barrier. It gave her for the first time since she could remember the thought 'Maybe can fight back against Yao after all.'
But now the demon isn't Yao. It's herself. How do you fight back against the monsters inside your head? She needs another explosion, possibly. A figurative one since she doubts Tranquility would be appreciative of her ruining his city even more than it already is. But she doesn't know where or how to start. Hm. ]
Why not?
[ she asks, a quiet but sincere inquiry. Why would Rey - a woman who stabbed her a couple months ago - want her alive? ]
