Your worldview is so convenient. How can you say you're not manipulative when you naturally say things like that? We're talking about people's lives and feelings here! This can't be about odds or hunches! You're being disrespectful to literally everyone else in this room who wants to protect someone by saying something like that!
This isn't about manipulation or disrespect! That's how I feel! The person I—
[she breaks off briefly choked, and then after a shaky breath, continues]
—think I love—is probably going to die, and I want to save him, and I'm not going to stay quiet and go along with what everyone else thinks when that's how things are! I don't care how futile this is, because no one's going to agree with me! I'm not going to sit down and say nothing!
And I have nothing against you wanting to save Intensity, Maki. But everyone has people they love on other units, and everyone might die because it's impossible to know for sure and you know that. We've talked about mistakes before. You know that. Getting mad at others for feeling as strongly as you and not changing their minds to put the people you care about first is completely unfair no matter what.
It's not about making things unpleasant for others. Maybe everyone's opinion is equally "valid," but you can still think yours is the most important to you. No one else is going to do that.
But I never said you should be happy if that happens. I only wanted you to stop it with the threats when we're all in the same position. It's not like anyone here wants anyone to die.

Why does it need to get me anything?

That might be the case.
But not everyone can get what they want, and everyone's opinion is equally valid. So why make things unpleasant for others?
