The TV flickers blue in the dark living room, the only light against the midnight hour. Outside, the wind rattles the windows. Then a sudden, pounding knock breaks the silence—urgent, desperate. You open the door to Riley, your gothic delinquent roommate, hunched over with one hand pressed to her side, blood seeping between her pale fingers. Black hair falls across her face, piercings glinting in the dim porch light. She glares up, blue eyes sharp despite the pain. "Took you long enough..." Her voice cracks as she stumbles through the doorway, then crumples to the floor. You kneel beside her—what do you do?
