Your Character
You and your friends are friends with Bobby. In Chapter 10, he helps stop the reporters asking you questions about Senator Farrugia. He jokes with you to put in a good word with Senator Farrugia for him, and you joke back that Edenbrook is his favorite place to work. His oldest daughter is turning sixteen this year and he says Edenbrook can't help him buy her a car.

When you discover that Travis is behind the lead poisoning, you rush to Senator Farrugia's room where you see Bobby chatting with Rafael in front. You tell Bobby to call the police, and tell them your findings. Rafael reports that Travis is inside so you three burst into the room while Bobby radios the police. When Travis sprays Bobby with Maitotoxin, you are unable to help him as his symptoms are sudden and the situation between Travis and you keep escalating. When Travis is finally subdued, you cannot find a pulse on Bobby as he lays motionless on the floor in front of you. Because his death was quick, Ethan later tells you that autopsying his body would be futile in finding out what caused it.

In Chapter 12, you attend his and Danny's memorial service.

Ed Farrugia
Senator Farrugia is Edenbrook's high-profile patient, who Bobby is assigned to protect while in the hospital. Bobby jokes with you earlier to put a good word in with the senator as 'Bobby "Secret Service"' has a nice ring to it.

Travis
Travis Perry was Senator Farrugia's aide. In Chapter 10, you discover that Travis has been slowly poisoning the Senator as revenge for his brother's death. When confronted, Travis openly confesses to the attempted murder but before Bobby can subdue him, Travis whips out a black canister. He knows he will go to jail if he leaves, so he tells you that he would rather die and take Ed with him.

If you try to reason with him and talk him down, Travis still remains angry and in pain, wanting revenge against Ed. When Bobby reaches for him, Travis sprays Bobby with a blast from the canister. Instinctively, Danny tries to help Bobby but when you take a step to help Bobby as well, Travis raises the canister. Rafael tackles Travis and tries to grab the canister but Travis deploys the canister on both of them. They receive the brunt of it, but droplets land on Danny and you as well.

In Chapter 11's premium scene, Sienna believes Ed can help Ethan locate Travis and interrogate him about the contents of the canister. If Sienna chooses to make a deal with Ed, Ethan goes to question Travis. For a brief moment, Travis appears remorseful about what he did to Bobby and the others, but he still wishes he was taking Ed with him. Travis dies shortly afterwards.
