Doctor—oh, no need to panic, I'm not dragging you into a checkup, I'd just like to sit down in here for a moment... Out of all of Rhodes Island, it feels like your office is the one place that hasn't changed.

Doctor, we're about to partially renovate Rhodes Island's wards to better meet patient aftercare needs. I've written down all the supplies we need here. Would you like to check over it quickly? Yes, I am in charge of this work now.

Doctor, I've adjusted the flavor of my healthy meals based on everyone's input. I came to realize that blindly insisting on my own views might not actually be best—you can only resolve conflicts better once you listen to the other side, and stand in their shoes... It would've been nice if I'd realized that sooner.

I've always been so hard on everyone, keeping them to healthy schedules, never letting them do anything bad for their illness. It turns out I was the one failing at all of that, heheh... But don't worry, there's still a lot I've got to do. I'm not giving in yet.

Diseases don't just torment the body—they impact the mind too. 'How will others see me? Can I ever live how I used to?' Everyone has worries like that... If I can't help my patients put them to rest, then my treatment isn't done yet.

I once saved a child in Leithanien. When she came to and saw me, she screamed for her life and ran away. Before that, I never thought there was much of a difference between Caprinae horns and Sarkaz horns. We can't change how everyone sees things, but at the very least, I don't want my patients to fear me.

I think Lava's really changed lately. She gets up and sleeps early without needing me to remind her, and she barely ever talks back when I nag her, but it's all the more worrying for some reason... Doctor, if you ever feel tired or depressed, you can come vent to me! I'd be perfectly happy!

This flute? It's actually an Arts staff. It's from when I went to Vyseheim. It was there I used Arts to harm someone for the first time, and it was the first I saw a friend leave us forever, just out of reach. Every time I hold this staff, all my feelings in that moment come back to me.

We happily see off recovered patients, and say goodbye to former companions with a smile. People come and leave. Our varied dreams may lead us to different paths, but we'll always mean something to each other... Doctor, would you be open for food with me today? I'll go and ask Lava along.

Doctor, you might be reliable with work, but you act just like a child when you're off. Now you're sleeping on desk again. I've told you so many times, it's bad for your spine, and you might catch a cold just like that... *sigh* If I'm not there one day, could you really take care of yourself?

Doctor, I'm back—Umm, Doctor, I know my last field assignment took longer than usual, but don't look at me like you don't recognize me... Medic Operator Hibiscus, reporting in.

Everyone's taking charge of themselves, now—that's nice to see.

I'm suddenly reminded of my time in A1, training with everybody... Everyone's matured so much now. I'll keep up the effort, for all we've been through.

Bodily trauma can be treated through medicine and surgery, but how do we cure the pain from hostility and prejudice? Healing people's hearts, Doctor, that's what I will devote myself to.

I won't fail you—this time, I'll be sure to protect everyone.

I'm leading? I wasn't usually the one doing that before... No, I won't shirk responsibility.

Don't be afraid. I've got your backs.

I'm not going to let you harm my friends.

I'll make sure everyone's safe.

Doctor, I'm here.

First aid ready. Medical support standying by.

I wish this to be the last time, if possible…

If we can prevent more harm this way, I'll stand my ground.

Please tell me if this hurts.

I can do more than just heal.

Hold it. There's no sense in getting any more hurt.

It's always easier to harm than heal. But... is it really something to be proud of...?

I'm so glad everyone could come back safe...

Prioritize treating the wounded. I'll guard against counterattacks.

I still couldn't... protect everyone...

Some beds have emptied.

You need me, Doctor?

Doctor, here's your healthy recipe for today. Make sure you eat on time.

Arknights.

Happy New Year, Doctor. Let's relax—we don't get holidays often. But still, you have to watch your junk food intake, and don't stay up until sunrise. I'll be keeping an eye on you. Mmhm, I'll watch out for my own health too, I promise.

Staying healthy is just as important as working hard, Doctor. Don't let either slip.

Rhodes Island didn't just grant me knowledge, but a dream worth fighting my whole life for. As a Sarkaz, as an Infected, as a doctor, and as a sister, I've found my home here. Honestly, I need to say just how fortunate I am. Right now, I want nothing more than to protect all this.
