[ Crazy drunken cat lady mom, she may require some more cuddling and cooing before she breaks and returns the actions in some form.
But after Seer-ing the Alpha session a bit, having a few hunches, and talking to the other Alpha kids anonymously under the guise of some weird Super God of Light From Space or Something, she expects her next revelation to beat out any cuddle-cooing.
...Although she does have to get one more depressing fact out of the way. ]
I. I was not with you when you died and that fault lies with me. I may have been able to prevent your death entirely, though all logic says otherwise. Nevertheless, I should have been there to try.
[ She keeps going to cut off any possible responses to that from Roxy; Rose knows that if she had been with Mom at the time, all that would have changed is that they would have died at the same time rather than apart--which would still have been better, but she knows Mom had been happy at the end.
And if Rose had died before her mother, it would have made Mom's death all the worse. ]
No; while Dirk strider is my ectobiological father, it was not he who was with you at the end. I am not entirely sure if the two of you were even acquainted in that universe, but that is irrelevant. The man whose heart you stole at the end of your story was the father of my friend, John Egbert. In this universe, that man is the father of Jane Crocker.
