Response to edges of negatives are blurred

The dense roll sounds like it was drastically overexposed -- probably the result of a wrong light meter setting since the other roll sounds like it is fine. The blurring is halation, where the light has spread through the film base and fogged. A little halation can cause specular highlights to take on a sort of glow that makes an interesting effect, but generally it is avoided if possible by proper exposure and development.
