Aurora Emery
When you and Aurora are at a diner, another guest collapses. You are about to start chest compressions, but Aurora's quick-thinking stops you when she diagnoses a pulmonary embolism instead of a heart attack. You ask this man to call 911 and he later reveals he works at Mass Kenmore. He hands Aurora his business card, asking her to contact him if she wants a change of pace and says that their trauma needs more cool and motivated doctors. Because he appeared not to recognize her and label her as "Dr. Harper Emery's niece", Aurora takes him up on his offer and transfers to Mass Kenmore.

Ethan Ramsey
In Book 2, Chapter 6, Ethan reveals they used to be best friends. They attended Hopkins together, where they met at orientation and bonded over their mutual distaste over the faculty's saccharine attempt at having their new students develop camaraderie with each other. They were like brothers and moved in together the following year. However, they wanted too many of the same things: highest G.P.A. (grade point average), the best residency, and the same man/woman (this is determined by your character's gender). Their competitiveness destroyed their friendship.

Years ago, Ethan tried to bury the hatchet but Tobias wasn't interested. Ethan thinks all Tobias wants is to beat him at something, even if it's "who can hold a grudge for longer".
