Charles: "Baby... You've been coughing quite a bit."
"Let me see..."
Player:
Charles: "Just to make sure. It's probably just a minor sore throat."
"Hmm... It's a bit red."
"I think you should come to the clinic for a swab test tomorrow, just to make sure everything's okay."
Charles: "There, all done. It's better to check these things early, babe."
"We'll have the results by tomorrow."
"Just rest for now and drink plenty of fluids."
Player:
Charles: "Nothing can stop me from kissing you."
[and then you probably break some rule about pashing in an examination room]
Charles: "Good news, baby! The test results are in, and everything's okay."
"It's just a regular cold. A bit of rest, and you'll be as good as new."
"Just take it easy for a few days. I'll make sure you're well taken care of."
Charles: "Baby!"
"Going somewhere?"
Player:
Charles: "You are, huh. Well, you found me."
"I was just thinking... I remember sitting here, before we started dating..."
"I thought being alone was fine. It was nice, in its own way. Don't get me wrong."
"[blushes] But having you here... it's so much nicer."
"My life is nicer with you in it."
"You complete me..."
Player:
Charles: "You're the best thing that ever happened to me."
[and then they smooch and Scott walks into frame]
Scott: "Oh geez, get a room!"

LMAO Scott
Charles seems sweet! I kind of wish we found out more about the whole Brooke situation though 😭 I wonder if we ever will figure out exactly what happened 🤔

Charles seems sweet! I kind of wish we found out more about the whole...
I still got the hangout events to scour + maybe it'll be in Pablo's instead of Charles'
tribal wasp
I'm hoping Pablo will say something 🤞 I don't know if there's multiple hangout events during marriage but that one was about his brother, and his first heart event was just him and my farmer getting suffocated by our pillows and ||making out??? woohooing??? it was hard to tell because you couldn't really see much LMAO|| but if there is anything about it I'll let you know if you'd like!👀
I might create a thread for Pablo once I get to 15 hearts and see all of his events, but I think I'll definitely do a Luke one 👀

I'm hoping Pablo will say something 🤞 I don't know if there's multiple hangout ...
There should be four hangout events after marriage to my understanding. If you find anything, let us know - we all want the tea

Will do!!!

Charles: "So I was meditating this morning like I normally do, and then I fell asleep."
"I mean, I didn't even realise it until I woke up almost an hour later!"
Player:
Charles: "Yeah, I think I reached a whole new level of relaxation... unconsciousness!"
"I wouldn't have minded some company for that nap, you know."
"Actually, if you ever see me dozing off in my office, can you wake me up?"
"I don't want to accidentally sleep through the day while I'm trying to meditate!"
Player:
Charles: "Thanks!"
"I'll need all the help I can get if I keep turning meditation into nap time."
"Hmm... maybe I should try yoga instead of just meditation."
"At least I'd be moving around, so there's less chance of me falling asleep!"
"What do you think? Should I give it a try?"
Player:
Charles: "Yeah, I think I'll look into it."
"I think I'm gonna need some yoga gear..."
"Do you think White Flamingo has anything that'll work for me?"
Charles: "Darling, I know that sometimes I complain about the clinic not making much money, but there's actually something great about it."
"We don't see a lot of patients, and honestly... that's a good thing."
"Especially now that I'm married - I get to spend more time with you, like this [feeding capybaras at 6am]."
"Plus, it means people around here are generally in good health, which is really what matters."
Player:
Charles: "Yeah, exactly. I think it's because people here spend so much time outdoors."
"All that fresh air and movement must be working wonders."
"Plus, I'm really lucky to have Yuri here."
"She's such a great doctor."
"It makes sharing the responsibilities so much easier when you have someone that capable working with you."
Player:
Charles: "Yeah, it's a huge relief."
"But, with Yuri or not... my job here is not nearly as stressful as my old job in the city."
"Back there, it was always so hectic."
"Non-stop patients, and the pressure was... overwhelming at times."
Player:
Charles: "Absolutely. I don't miss the chaos at all."
"It's nice to actually be able to connect with my patients here, instead of rushing through everything."
"I think I've found the right balance here."
"Less stress, good people... charming spouse."
"I really can't complain."

And then that's what part B did XD

Alternative player choices (aka going mean girl route):
1) So the clinic being broke is actually a sign you're doing you job well?
"Ha! Maybe! I guess in a weird way, it's true"
"The healthier everyone is, the less business I get... but that's definitely not something to complain about."
2) So, she handles the tough stuff while you nap during meditation?
"Being the head clinic pays off :)"
3) So, no going back to the hectic city life anytime soon?
"Nope! I'm definitely not going back to that."
"With you, here, darling... it's exactly where I want to be."

Omg, the second one 😭

Charles: "Um, I've been... having this tightness in my jaw lately. It's, uh... really annoying."
"Every time I talk or chew, it just feels tight... right here..."
Player:
Charles: "Yeah..."
"It's just so irritating, you know? I wake up, and my jaw is tight, and now I'm feeling it in my shoulder too."
"It's like everything's stiff and tense, no matter what I do."
"I'm supposed to help other people, and here I am..."
Player:
Charles: "Thanks... I guess I do tend to, um, be a bit hard on myself."
"Maybe I'll, uh, take it easy for a few days... see if that helps."
"Thanks for listening. I appreciate it."
Player:
Charles: "Yes, doc. Thank you!"
"It's nice to have someone to talk to about... well, even the little things like this."
Charles: "The clinic... it's not doing so well financially."
"Lately, we've had fewer patients coming in, and honestly, I'm starting to worry."
"I don't know if I should... do something about it. Maybe change things up a bit? I just... don't know."
"If things keep going at this rate, we might need to close down."
Player:
Charles: "Yeah, maybe... maybe it's just a phase."
"But still, bills need to be paid."
"Hmm... maybe I'm overthinking all of this."
"I mean, if you think about it... it's kind of a good thing that there aren't a lot of sick people coming in, right?"
"It means the community's healthy, and isn't that what really matters?"
Player:
Charles: "Yeah... maybe they aren't."
"I understand my brain tends to overthink things. It's easy to catastrophise when I get stressed."
"But that's just what brains do, right? They're wired to keep us safe... always looking for problems to solve."
Player:
Charles: "That's true."
"It's like... now that I've recognised it, I can stop letting it control how I feel."
"The important thing is that I see it now. I don't need to stress over something I can't control...like whether people are getting sick or not."
"It's not that the clinic is failing... it's actually doing fine."
