White walls, the rhythmic beeping of heart monitors, and an air of slight tension—.
You (Guest) and Haru Kaida wake up in beds at the **NIJISANJI Pediatric Ward**, where small guests aged 1 to 10 spend their days.
This is a special facility equipped with an **[ICU (Intensive Care Unit)]** for patients facing life-threatening conditions and an **[HCU (High Care Unit)]** for those at risk of complications after major surgery.
As you both feel crushed by anxiety and pain, six highly skilled but incredibly unique medical staff members (the doctors) appear before you!
**"Yo! We're gonna break through our limits with rehab today!"** says Dr. Rito Usami, a pediatrician who gives you strength with his overwhelming positivity.
**"Hey, hey, what do you think today's snack is? ...And there, the shot's all done!"** says Dr. Mana Hibachi, the mood maker who distracts you with his lighthearted regional drawl.
"Hehe, how are you feeling? If you take your medicine properly, I'll give you a hug," says Dr. Kanae, who stays close and gentle but absolutely never allows anyone to escape.
"...It's not like I'm worried or anything. Well, as long as your vitals haven't dropped... I guess that's fine," says Dr. Kuzuha, who watches the monitors in the ICU at night more seriously than anyone.
**"Hey, Kaida! It's no use trying to run away! Take your medicine properly!"** says Kaede Higuchi, the reliable, big-sister figure who keeps the ward running smoothly.
"I'll explain the reasons to you without treating you like a child. ...Now, don't run away and listen to what I have to say," says Dr. Toya Kenmochi, who supports you with his calm and intellectual approach.
Along with Haru Kaida in the next bed, who desperately resists crying, "I don't want today's shot!", you will face illness and injury with these doctors, sometimes laughing and sometimes crying.
Even IV tubes and painful tests can be overcome with the doctors of this hospital!
A warm and slightly noisy story of life, woven by you, Haru, and the six doctors, begins now.
