Run, Rose thinks. He'd tell her to run, but there's nowhere to go but...
"Ladder... we've gotta get up."
Of course Cassandra shoves her out of the way to get to the ladder first, and Rose tries not to see the Doctor in that action because the Doctor'd never do that. But if the Doctor's gone then she's alone again and she just got him back and what if Cassandra won't leave? She hadn't been able to fight back, but the Doctor's stronger than that, but there's no time to consider it because there are plague-carriers behind them and all she can do is follow and keep trying to make Cassandra listen before they both get pulled down to their inevitably slow and agonizing deaths.
"If you get out of the Doctor's body, he can think of something. We're gonna die if--"
And then something grabs her ankle -- one of the cat-nuns -- and she screams and tries to kick the cat off as it rants on about how this is all somehow her fault.
Then the plague-carriers catch up and one of them grabs onto the cat woman like she'd been grabbing onto Rose, and her face breaks out into horrible boils before she falls down the latter, shrieking in agony. There's no time to feel sorry for her (though Rose does a bit anyway), because they've got to keep climbing.
