Personality
Lennox is reserved, but has a morbid sense of humor due to the circumstances of her life. Between cats and dogs, Lennox says she chooses lizards.

Dakota Winchester
Dakota is one of Lennox's best friends. They both visit Mateo in the hospital every week, except with Lennox is out of town with her family. If you ask Dakota about their relationship, Dakota says they are more like siblings than friends. They met when they were all patients in the hospital together when they were younger.

When Dakota wants to film his/her application entry "Dark Pact", Mateo jokes that you were the only one to volunteer, not them. Dakota says their promise to help was implicit because they're friends.

Mateo
Lennox knew Mateo first, before introducing him to Dakota. The three of them form the Three Musketeers, getting into various shenanigans in the hospital. In Chapter 3, Lennox pushes Mateo in a wheelchair against Dakota as they race down the pediatrics ward. They win the "Wheelchair 500-Foot Race" and Mateo and Dakota introduce Lennox to you. Mateo calls her the prickly pear in their fruit salad. In Chapter 5, Mateo tells Lennox to back off when you are mourning Gracie's death.

Your Character
You first hear about Lennox from Mateo and Dakota on your first day volunteering at Edenbrook Hospital. When you meet her in Chapter 3, you "confirm" her suspicions about you if you decline to participate in the wheelchair race against her and Mateo. In Chapter 5, she recruits you to help her teach Dakota to ride a bike.

In Chapter 6, when you are grounded for breaking curfew, Dakota, Mateo, and Lennox invite you to video chat, watch something on tv together and rag on it. It was how they spent a lot of their bad days in the hospital together. You have the premium option to join them or instead do chores. In Chapter 7, you have the premium option to convince Marlene (who Lennox has deemed "Nurse Ratched") and Danny to let you take Mateo out to a cat cafe on his day pass. If you do, you four play Plead The Fifth where Mateo says Lennox is a Slytherin if asked, or dreams of being an evil dictator.

In Chapter 11, if you shave your head in support of Dakota, she tells you that what you did was freakin' awesome.
