[ That about sums it up, doesn't it? Matt was so... so normal from what she could gather. Of course this would leave him so unsettled, so scared. Rose came from a world of literal monsters where death was always a possibility. She came from Haven where people were resurrected from the dead (and then they weren't). She's been through this song and dance and she's old and tired but Matt?
Matt's just a kid. He's someone so normal that shouldn't have died so young. That shouldn't have even had to worry about the possibility of death. And definitely shouldn't have to deal with the confusion and emotions that coming back dredge up.
So that's why she hugs him; it's a sudden, thoughtless gesture. She's been in his place. Rose still remembers waking up after the first time she'd died. She still has the scars on her head to show it and scars in her heart that aren't as easily visible. ]
