Emily Rivers: healing others while avoiding her own pain
Emily always asks, “Are you hurt?” before she asks what you brought back.

- Emily values care and openness, while cold calculation and badly timed jokes feel cruel to her.
Would you admit your fear to her or try to break the tension with a joke?
