Interesting question for a change.
A rock being far far away from being a developed consciousness (million of years far away) can not possibly have any sort of feeling therefore it is not possible to pretend that it will react as we would react if we are killed.
The millions of grains and dust that make up the whole rock have their own minute consciousness but in a almost total dormant or latent form.
It really wouldn't matter to them whether they are part of the rock or whether they are separate.
As the old saying goes...........NO BRAIN NO PAIN........so to conclude it is obvious that no one in this case will get the consciousness because the consciousness is not awaken yet.
It would have been even more interesting if you would have ask who get the consciousness if you cut a plant in two.
