The Homestuck Epilogues: A Radio Play
vinterstellar for Rose Lalonde
Rose is another main character. She's wise beyond her years and whilst she lives happily and prosperously in one epilogue, she is plagued by illness and lethargy in another, eventually succumbing to her demons.
ROSE: Don’t be ridiculous, Kanaya.
ROSE: What I would prefer...
ROSE: ...is to be here, with you.
ROSE: Really here with you.
ROSE: For the first time in a long time.
ROSE: It was hard on you, wasn’t it?
ROSE: My illness? Combined with all your duties to the Mother Grub, the pressures of the changing political situation...
ROSE: With all that on your mind, it can’t have been pleasant to have to come home and take care of me as well.
ROSE: I can see now that it was all terribly unfair to you.
ROSE: The war is just as irrelevant as everything else that’s happened here in the last decade and a half.
ROSE: At least with a conflict, we have something to DO.
ROSE: Something to strive for and against. Something to believe in.
ROSE: I’m thankful for that. But more than anything, John, I’m thankful that I got a chance to be happy.
