#for a bit I didn't realize you'd asked for Rose specifically and wrote a bit about Lesti and Sen too

Rose WARP Corp Clean Up Crew?
Tumblr media
Giving my thoughts on them specifically is a little difficult, since at this point of the game I was playing on and off due to being busy, not to mention that I was a lot more taken with... the prior story. It was definitely a shock to realize that this was all standard procedure though (save for the puppets), and the nonchalance with which Rose handled their clean-up initially really sold it.
I don't have much to say about Rose other than what I've already said. She's clearly been here for a good while, and the way she handled the situation went a long way in making it clear that what we just witnessed was simply the usual business for W. Corp (minus the Puppeteer's shenanigans).
Outside of that, Rose definitely left the least impression on me compared to Sen and Lesti, though that's because she's much more focused on her job than the other two, who spent their time bantering. There's probably something to explore in how she's gotten very used to this and simply does her job without complaining though. Time and time again we're shown how those who make it in the city necessarily get desensitised to violence, gore and the suffering of others. Rather obvious here in how the newbies are the only ones with normal reactions to the train's state, in contrast with Rose's lack of reaction to the cene.
In the end, the W. Corp crew are less fleshed-out characters and more narrative devices, which is what you'd expect from characters we spend so little time with, but they did their job in the story well.
