[Getting stabbed is a lot like having sex: it's a little different for everybody, and sometimes it feels like getting punched. But sex is fun, and being stabbed is not.
Veronica doesn't have enough adrenalin in her system for it to feel like getting punched, so it just feels like...well, getting stabbed. It hurts. Veronica freezes, not that she could move anyway. Her legs tremble, threatening to give out on her any second.]
