Rafael Aveiro
Pedro is the pitcher for the Marauders and a patient of Rafael. He is in the hospital because he had to undergo major shoulder surgery and needs serious rehabilitation to be ready to play.

In Chapter 5, he gives you and Rafael two VIP tickets to see that night's game. If you choose to go, Rafael tells you that Pedro is one of the sport's most talented pitchers.

In Chapter 12, due to Pedro's demanding schedule, Rafael tells you that he sends helicopters to bring Rafael to his home for therapy. If you decide to tag along, you watch Pedro offer Rafael a full time job to become the Marauders' physical therapist. If you don't tag along, Rafael tells you via text about Pedro's job offer. In Chapter 14, Rafael tells the rest of your friends about the offer and that he declined it, surprising most of them. While he would have enjoyed working with the Marauders, Rafael realizes that the patients at Edenbrook need him more. When he tells Pedro this, Pedro is very understanding and gives him two more tickets to the next Marauders game, which he plans to take his grandmother to.

Your Character
