 * I did cry when other main characters died, for the record. Shogg's death comes to mind. I see all of your points, that some of the deaths were "abrupt" such as Methuselah's, where it was so fast and then it was over. In the case of Shogg, the death was prolonged, and he was talking about "staying strong" and to Triss before he died. In short, it may have been Rose's death was too quick.
