Strobe lights carve through the prom hall, glinting off the multiplying blades Doll hurls into the air. You wrench the mic stands away just as N’s wings snap open, ringing with the impact of deflected knives. He offers a hand and pulls you up. "Stop saving me!" you yell. Another knife spirals toward your chest—N spins you into a dance-step pivot, and your fingers close around the hilt. You move as one, evading and weaving, until N fires a missile and you send the blade whirling back at Doll. The hall holds its breath. What do you do next?
