Antagonist

The reason: due to the lack of staff, Laura ends up taking matters in her own hands doing a medical
procedure she wasn’t trained for believing she could handle it, before it backfired making the
patient deteriorate quickly and die. She could have saved them but she gave up too quickly,
hopeless and she could have solved it and the patient could have been alive.
The justification: she covered it up and didn't own up to her mistake, making her a coward in the
antagonists eyes. The person was his wife. But killing her is too easy, better to take things step by
step. What better way than a ‘game of scrabble’.
The setup: the game is simple, follow a riddle, complete a task and receive a tile and all these tiles
should be enough to make the name ‘AMALIA CHASE’. Which means we will need eleven riddles
and eleven tasks. Even if she doesn't complete a task she still receives a tile.

1.​ The Coin

She gets a letter from Steve as it was delivered delivered for her:
Riddle: “I have a head and a tail but no body. What am i? (a coin)
Task: she must leave the coin somewhere e.g a park bench or fountain top without picking it up
Consequence: if she fails, someone close to her loses money in a devastating way.

2. The Red Handprint

Riddle: "What has hands but cannot clap?"
(Answer: A clock)
Task: She must touch a specific clock somewhere in the hospital or school, leaving behind an
innocent red handprint (like paint or ink).
Consequence: If she fails, someone ends up with a broken hand—perhaps a fellow med student or a
patient who needed surgery.

3. The Empty Prescription

Riddle: "I help the sick, yet I’m never consumed. What am I?"
(Answer: A prescription)
Task: She has to write a prescription for an imaginary patient and leave it on a professor’s desk. It
means nothing because there’s no real patient, so it seems harmless.
Consequence: If she fails, a real patient’s prescription goes missing, and they suffer a
life-threatening reaction due to receiving the wrong medication.
4. The Name That Fades
Riddle: "I can be written but never spoken. I am forgotten yet remembered. What am I?"
(Answer: A name on a grave)
Task: She must write the name of a stranger on a foggy mirror, a napkin, or a dusty table—anywhere
it will disappear within hours.
Consequence: If she fails, someone with that name dies in a freak accident.

5. The Wrong Answer

Riddle: "The more you take, the more you leave behind. What am I?"
(Answer: Footsteps)
Task: She has to intentionally write a wrong answer on a simple medical test or quiz. A small,
meaningless mistake—seemingly harmless.
Consequence: If she refuses, a real medical mistake happens at the hospital (e.g., a patient receives
the wrong diagnosis, leading to deadly consequences).

6. The Borrowed Book

Riddle: "I tell no lies, yet I can lead you astray. I have many faces but no soul. What am I?"
(Answer: A book)
Task: She must borrow a specific medical textbook from the library and leave it somewhere unusual,
like a bathroom or cafeteria table.
Consequence: If she fails, a critical piece of information disappears from a real patient’s file, leading
to a misdiagnosis or mistreatment.

7. The Blindfolded Touch

Riddle: "You feel me, but you never see me. You take me for granted until I am gone. What am I?"
(Answer: Air)
Task: She must blindfold herself for one minute in a controlled environment, like sitting in a
classroom.
Consequence: If she refuses, someone will stop breathing—whether from an asthma attack, choking,
or an equipment failure in the hospital.

8. The Unfinished Sentence

Riddle: "I begin but do not end. I speak but never finish. What am I?"
(Answer: An unfinished sentence)
Task: She has to start writing a note to someone and leave it incomplete—for example, “I need to tell
you something important, but I don’t know how to say it…”
Consequence: If she refuses, a patient’s medical file gets deleted before a surgery, leaving the
doctors unprepared.

9. The Reflection Trap

Riddle: "I show the truth but never speak. I reveal the face but never blink. What am I?"
(Answer: A mirror)
Task: She must stand in front of a mirror for exactly 30 seconds and then walk away without looking
back. It seems silly, but harmless.
Consequence: If she fails, someone she knows is found unconscious with shattered glass around
them, as if they had fallen into a mirror or a window.

10. The Missing Piece

Riddle: "I fit perfectly but can still be lost. Without me, the picture is never complete. What am I?"
(Answer: A puzzle piece)
Task: She must take a small object from somewhere—a pen from a professor’s desk, a single glove
from the lost-and-found, or a small hospital supply—and keep it in her pocket for 24 hours.
Consequence: If she refuses, a critical tool goes missing during a surgery, causing a life-or-death
delay.

11. The Candle’s Warning

Riddle: "The more of me you take, the less you have. What am I?"
(Answer: A candle)
Task: She must light a candle at midnight and let it burn for exactly one minute before blowing it out.
It feels like a harmless superstition.
Consequence: If she refuses, a power outage occurs in a hospital operating room, leaving a
surgeon in the dark at a critical moment.

12. The Forgotten Note

Riddle: "I carry words but never speak. I am often left behind, yet I hold secrets. What am I?"
(Answer: A note)
Task: She must write a short, cryptic message ("It wasn't your fault" or "I forgive you") on a random
piece of paper and leave it where someone will find it.
Consequence: If she refuses, a suicide note appears in someone else’s handwriting, causing panic
and tragedy.

The final riddle/ test

Riddle: “I can't be seen but I can be felt I can't be hurt but I can be spoken I can be given but never
taken what am I” (answer love)
The task: Laura is put in a life-threatening situation trapped poisoned or in immediate danger but I
think we'll go with immediate danger and the only way to survive is if someone who loves her
willingly risk their own life to save her in this case this could lead to the person who saves her to die.
The consequence: if no one steps forward she dies proving to the antagonist that love is just an
illusion but if someone does save her it proves it antagonist that he now has leverage and can use
that against her this is what I'm going for for the life and death situation,
The Heights Gamble: Laura is dangling from the top of a really high building and she is tied to a
rope and is way like at the top top floor the love interest was then climb up an entire building and
unclip her from the trap and pull her up but then the ledge is unstable and could collapse it any
second forcing them to act fast they could fall and break a bone but they won't make it back it's all
about time at this point then the final melts down or the final scene and after they survived this life
and death task Laura would think that this is all over until she arrives home and sees the scramble
pieces she had left made out a name and a different queue her friend calls saying they need to meet
up to talk about what has been happening and when she and I love interests arrived at the secluded
spot the friend is already there tied to a chain that and terrified before they can react but tranquilize
the dart hits them but I feel like I'm going to make the left interest I have to go somewhere else like
he's a chef so he's been opening his restaurant recently so he'll be there and he will try to call her
asking where she is because she promised she will be there and she doesn't arrive that's when he
knows something is wrong.
