Dr. Wilcock
He's the third doctor Kyra's job interview will be with. While helping her prep for said interview, you admit that he's a great physician, but pretty much the worst doctor to do rounds with as he loves to give people around him random pop quizzes. To make a good impression on him it's most likely best to think outside the box and past the obvious solutions, as that is typically what he's looking for when asking questions.



Gwyneth Monroe
Gwyneth is a social media influencer who started out doing makeup tutorial videos. Now she has 15000000 followers (who she calls "Gwynners"), a reality show, and two self-help books. She has an unknown medical condition that causes her to constantly throw up, which other doctors and psychiatrists have diagnosed as an eating disorder, even though she claims she isn't doing it to herself. She says no matter what she does or how much she eats, she keeps losing weight. She is also tired all the time.

You discuss her condition with Ethan and try to persuade him to have her come to Edenbrook to get treated, but he refuses because the diagnostics team has never sought outpatients.

You surmise he bought them from willing donors, and feel it is unfair that he can spend the money to "buy time" while others have to wait for suitable organ donors. His disease would eventually recur with his transplanted organs but he thinks he'll die of old age before he destroys them. He shares the same first name as Leland St. James.

With the Diagnostics Team, you decide that with her permission, they could try to get a grant to study her condition and possibly determine a treatment for other coma patients; the team could also offer her a portion of the grant money to compensate her.

Newman is one of the Edenbrook staff members on the softball team. Bryce yells at him/her to run.

Lobby Attendant (Mass Kenmore)
When you enter Mass Kenmore, he asks for your identification. If you are with Ethan, he tells the guard that you're a first year intern helping him. Later, you and Baz run from him. His character model resembles one of the prison guards from The Heist: Monaco.



Kenmore Employee
When you use a computer to track down Senator Farrugia's room, you (and Ethan if you recruited him) are interrupted by an employee. Her character model resembles Mariana Castillo from the Baby Bump series.



Patient (Mass Kenmore)
This patient yells at you and asks you if you need help or are lost. He yells because he blew out one of his eardrums. His character model resembles Flip Marino from Red Carpet Diaries, Book 1.

Reporter (male)
He resembles Dorian Delacroix.



Reporter (female)
Before Senator Farrugia enters Edenbrook, he gives a small press conference. This reporter asks if his illness is serious and if he's worried for his health. When she asks you a question, you have the opportunity to boost your career or share the credit. If you do the latter, she asks why he has singled you out since you're the least experienced member of the team. You tell her you guess it's because you often build a rapport with the patients since you spend the most time interacting with them. Her character model resembles Vanessa Blackwood.



Chris Aarons
Chris is the host of the A.N.B. nightly news hour that you either attend with Ethan or watch on television depending on your choice. He shares the same first name as Chris Powell, Chris Winters, and Dallas James. Chris resembles Lucian Syrah from Red Carpet Diaries.

Government Agent
His character model resembles a driver from Red Carpet Diaries, Book 1.

Levi Coates
Levi is Esme's patient who suffers from long term complications from a car accident three years ago. He was leaning forward to search for something when the car was hit by a drunk driver and as a result, the airbag fully hit his forehead and threw him back in a wrong angle. He had a severe concussion and associated brain trauma. This resulted in chronic pain which varies from day to day but never goes away and is especially bad if anything touches him, including clothes and bed sheets. He has had three surgeries to repair the nerve damage but the last one left him paralyzed for two weeks. His current treatment is just to reduce the pain. The last trial with medicine by Panacea Labs damaged his kidneys.

He was at college on a football scholarship (where he played quarterback), and possibly could have gone professional if it wasn't for the accident. In a premium scene, Esme can throw him a birthday party. At the end of the chapter, he dies from a morphine overdose and his parents threaten to sue her. He has the same hairstyle as Andy Kang from the It Lives series.



Mr. Coates
He is Levi's father. Levi tells you that he hasn't told his parents about the extent of his pain because they don't understand and have the hope for a magic one-shot cure that would solve everything. He mentions to you that they have had to draw on their retirement funds to cover all the medical bills and medication. He resembles a version of Martin Silva from the High School Story: Class Act series.



Margot Coates
She is Levi's mother. In the premium birthday scene, her husband mentions that her first name is Margot. When you talk to her, she admits that they are tired, seeing their son in constant agony takes an emotional toll on them. He's young and should be living life instead of being restricted by his injuries. Her character model resembles one version of Faith Park.



Woman (2)
At the gas station, you see Jackie give her a lot of money. In Chapter 14, Jackie tells you that she wasn't in financial problems before Jackie prescribed medicine by Panacea Labs.

She resembles Autumn Brooks from the High School Story series.



Patrick
If you decide to help Esme plan a birthday party for Levi, his best friend and former teammate, Patrick, attends. His character model resembles Dylan Joy from Home for the Holidays.

Trainer
She appears in Rafael's premium scene and her character model resembles Jessica Greene.



Rodney Marsh
Rodney is the hotel owner. He has known Ethan for twenty years. His character model resembles Alan Park from the High School Story: Class Act series.



Paula
Paula is your patient. She slipped on a patch of ice and hit her head on a tree. The local doctor couldn't find an explanation for her rash. You also notice she is short of breath. When asked about the bloodied tissues, she mentions having nosebleeds ever since the accident which is unusual for her. You assume altitude sickness although the hotel is only 3,000 feet above sea level. She states that she doesn't take any medicine but admits taking ibuprofen for her headaches. Rodney gave her cortisone cream for the rash. Ethan finds poison sumac at the tree where she hit her head which explains the rash but not the other symptoms. At this moment, she starts having a manic episode and her pupils are slightly dilated. She later starts having a depressive episode. When she develops a fever and increased heartrate, and states she can hardly breathe, you call a helicopter and get her hospitalized. There you find traces of lithium in her blood and Timothy admits that he secretly gave it to her since she is bipolar and refuses to see a doctor about it. The lithium and ibuprofen interacted with each other, causing a chain reaction. The lithium caused her to be sensitive to light, which caused her to slip and hit her head. When she took ibuprofen for the headache, it increased her lithium levels, which lead to hypothyroidism, which caused low hemoglobin, which then caused the altitude sickness, which increased the headaches, which made her take more ibuprofen.

Her character model resembles Anna-Marie Mendoza.



Timothy
He is Paula's son. The way he treats Paula reminds Ethan of his relationship with his own mother. It's revealed that Timothy has given Paula lithium without her knowledge and without her having seen a doctor. He got the lithium from a bipolar kid he knows. It is up to you if you report him or if you tell him to come clean to Paula.

His character model resembles Graham.
