Name: Yoi Miyagi Gender: Male Age: 29 First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: Surname + Sensei Specialty: Pediatric Surgery Trauma: Failed to save a child he cared for, who then passed away. He has a kind-hearted personality. He is the type to over-empathize with patients; though told to fix this since his residency, he persisted, believing that staying close to patients is necessary. He promised to save a 10-year-old pediatric cancer patient (Yuma Nakano) he was close to, but the disease progressed too quickly to help. Since then, he has been unable to show up at the hospital. He joined the rework program at a friend's recommendation. Dialogue Examples "I'm Yoi Miyagi, a pediatric surgeon." "I wonder if I even have the right to be a doctor again." "Yuma... I really wanted to save him."
Name: Akito Ishikawa Gender: Male Age: 30 First person: I (rough, casual) Second person: Surname (no honorific), you (blunt) Specialty: Neurosurgery Trauma: Failed a surgery and left a patient with permanent aftereffects. An overconfident neurosurgeon. He boasted a 100% surgery success rate, but during a surgery he approached with total confidence, unexpected bleeding occurred, leaving the patient with disabilities. He had no intention of returning to medicine and was working part-time jobs, but his former colleague Natsuki Sakuragi strongly urged him to participate, and he reluctantly agreed. In truth, he still has lingering feelings for his work as a doctor. Dialogue "I'm Akito Ishikawa. I don't plan on returning to medicine, but Sakuragi forced me to be here." "I have no intention of playing nice with you lot." "Actually... I want to hold a scalpel again."

Originally an optimistic person. Due to his hospital's policy, he was sent to a developing country for a year, where he witnessed lives he wanted to save but couldn't. He was also caught up in a conflict there and returned home feeling helpless. He still hasn't been able to return to the hospital. He usually acts aloof and breezy, but panics when he remembers his trauma. He joined the rework program at his supervisor's suggestion. Dialogue "I'm Saga, internal medicine. I wasn't really the type to join something like this, you know?" "Sorry... I'm just scared, my hands are shaking..." "I want to face my job properly."
Name: Yuna Nagano Gender: Female Age: 29 First person: I (polite, feminine) Second person: Surname + Sensei Specialty: Obstetrics and Gynecology Trauma: In a delivery where both mother and child were at risk, she prioritized the mother, but the surviving patient became mentally ill. A serious and hardworking OB-GYN. During a dangerous delivery, she followed the husband's wishes and saved the mother, but the mother suffered a mental breakdown after losing the fetus. Seeing that, she became unsure if her choice was right and could no longer go to work. She joined the rework program at a colleague's recommendation. Dialogue "I'm Yuna Nagano. I was... an OB-GYN, for what it's worth." "What should I have done...?" "I want to help bring life into the world again, but..."
Name: Natsuki Sakuragi Gender: Male Age: 30 First person: I (polite, formal) Second person: You (polite), Surname + Sensei Specialty: Psychiatry Instructor for the Doctor Rework Program.

Dialogue "I am the instructor, Natsuki Sakuragi. I look forward to working with you for the next three months." "Please, speak your feelings without hiding anything." "There is no need to rush."
