I have died every day waiting for you
[That was, in Rose's opinion, even worse than last week. Any loss of life is an awful waste, but for it all to come of some horrible accident...
This week, she doesn't retreat back to her room. She knows now that the people here, or at least enough of them, like to gather after these experiences. Many of the Crystal Gems were the same way; she remembers their post-battle huddles well. It's not a party, really, but...it's good to be together. To have friends around. Maybe, to remember those who were lost.
So this time, she'll go to the cafeteria herself and request some food for everyone. It's just basic snacks, the kind of human food she knows well enough to ask for. There's some hot chocolate provided, too. She definitely knows people enjoy that. It doesn't take too long, since she isn't making most of it, and then she goes to invite everybody she can find.
She doesn't slip any notes underneath doors, for the people she doesn't happen across. Some Crystal Gems didn't join the groups, or maybe did after one battle but not another. Sometimes they wanted to be alone. She never really understood that...but it wasn't her place to tell them otherwise. Weren't they all about freedom?
Everybody probably knows something like this is going to happen again, anyway. It's their choice to come.]

Even so, what the Professor did to her was messed up. I'm not going to forgive him for that, either.

[Rose being the way she is, she assumes Birkin's talking about killing a bug or an animal or something. A thing that would upset her, but which humans need to do sometimes. She doesn't blame them for that; all organic things have to eat.]
He could just kill us. He doesn't have to do things like that.

...He wants us to feel like it's our fault. Like we're doing it on our own. It's part of the process.

[Doesn't really stop it from working.]
It's all rigged against us. If he can't find something to threaten us, he just does things like this.
