[Level start]
LuckySprites.png Uh. Who are you supposed to be?
MinerSpritesheet.png Howdy!
MinerSpritesheet.png Sorry, am I in your way? I thought this was, like, the fitness room.
MinerSpritesheet.png I had a bit of a scare the other day, with some chest pain.
MinerSpritesheet.png So, I've been trying to be a little more cautious about my health.
MinerSpritesheet.png An old buddy of mine used to tell me, "You've only got one body! You better treat it right!"
MinerSpritesheet.png I should've listened. And after getting a lil' spooked on that train ride, I figured I could at least give this hospital a visit.
MinerSpritesheet.png How about you? What are you in for?
LuckySprites.png Oh, uh...something about a rotator cuff. Can't use my arm.
LuckySprites.png Now I'm stuck here. It sucks.
MinerSpritesheet.png Hmm. How about we do a workout together?
MinerSpritesheet.png That friend I mentioned showed me all kinds of stretches.
MinerSpritesheet.png But before that, I wanna feel the difference in strength between your two shoulders.
MinerSpritesheet.png Let's try something...
MinerSpritesheet.png Hold your arm out and gimme a big thumbs up.
MinerSpritesheet.png Good! Now flip it to a thumbs down if you're tired of me already.
MinerSpritesheet.png I'm gonna gently cup my hands around yours.
MinerSpritesheet.png You'll feel a slight push from me, but try slowly moving your arm up and down.
[placeholder for misses and whatnot]
MinerSpritesheet.png I think that's enough!
MinerSpritesheet.png Now, we'll do the real thing.
MinerSpritesheet.png Relax and let your mind wander. You might hear people from outside.
MinerSpritesheet.png That's perfectly fine. Just clear your mind, feel the rhythm, and do the reps at your own pace.
MinerSpritesheet.png Let's begin. 20 reps, now.

[After 5 reps]

NicoleSpriteS3.png Yo. Did you see who got admitted here the other day?
NicoleSpriteS3.png Lucky Jonronero.
ColeSpriteS2.png ...who's that?
NicoleSpriteS3.png Seriously? The...baseball player? On the Middlesea Scales?
NicoleSpriteS3.png Like, one of the biggest names on the team?
ColeSpriteS2.png ...
NicoleSpriteS3.png All-star pitcher? And, as of this season, number one for homeruns?
ColeSpriteS2.png Not ringing a bell. I don't do baseball.
NicoleSpriteS3.png Okay. Well. He's a local celebrity.
ColeSpriteS2.png That makes two of us!
NicoleSpriteS3.png ...not really, no.

[Phase 2]

LuckySprites.png "One of the biggest names on the team"...
LuckySprites.png ...if that's so true, how come nobody's reached out?
LuckySprites.png No phone call from Coach, no visits from my teammates, no flowers or "get well soon" card...
LuckySprites.png All I got was a couple of pieces of fanmail. At least someone remembers me...
LuckySprites.png What's the point of all this again?
MinerSpritesheet.png It's just a little test. And yup, looks like that shoulder got real weak.
LuckySprites.png If it's so weak, why don't I just work out? Pump it back into shape.
MinerSpritesheet.png Ha! If you try to lift weights, your body'll topple like a stack of twigs.
MinerSpritesheet.png You need some gentle tension...
MinerSpritesheet.png Oh! Hold on a tick...
MinerSpritesheet.png I've got some bungee cord in my bag!
MinerSpritesheet.png This'll be perfect. Now, grab the cord.
MinerSpritesheet.png Slowly pull it inward, without turning your body.
[placeholder for misses and whatnot]
MinerSpritesheet.png That's the exercise!
MinerSpritesheet.png Easy, right? Just feel the rhythm, and let your mind wander.
MinerSpritesheet.png 20 more reps, now.

[After 5 reps]

MrsStevensonSpriteS.png Doctor...um, if it isn't a bother...
MrsStevensonSpriteS.png ...would today be a good day for me to see my husband?
MrsStevensonSpriteS.png I still can't find him.
PaigeSpriteS.png What? Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, ma'am...!
PaigeSpriteS.png (Ian!!! When we did the hand-off, you were supposed to move Mrs Stevenson to her husband's room!!!)
IanSpriteS.png (S-Sorry!!! I was busy. Everything was kinda falling apart, remember?)
PaigeSpriteS.png So sorry for the wait, follow me, we'll get you moved right away.
MrsStevensonSpriteS.png Oh, thank you kindly...
PaigeSpriteS.png I'll make sure the nurse knows where you're staying now, and we'll move over all of your belongings.
MrsStevensonSpriteS.png Will there be enough room for all of us? Even my children?
PaigeSpriteS.png Wait, your family is here too?
IanSpriteS.png I think she means the birds.
PaigeSpriteS.png Oh.
PaigeSpriteS.png Uh...yeah, there'll be room! We'll get the whole Stevenson family together!

[Phase 3]

LuckySprites.png I wasn't expecting everyone here to be so...chatty.
MinerSpritesheet.png Why not?
LuckySprites.png I don't know. Every hospital visit I've ever had was all business.
LuckySprites.png Get in, get out. No small-talk, no life story.
LuckySprites.png Aren't we here to get patched up so we get back out to work?
Samurai V1.png ...
LuckySprites.png Anyway. I know you're tryin' to help, but...I still don't really feel anything.
MinerSpritesheet.png Exactly! It doesn't hurt, right?
LuckySprites.png Uh...no?
MinerSpritesheet.png Then you're doin' swell!
LuckySprites.png Alright. I did your workout. Now what?
MinerSpritesheet.png Now we rest up for a second...then we do it again!
LuckySprites.png Again?!
MinerSpritesheet.png Yep. The point isn't for it to be difficult...it's for you to do over and over. Like a routine.
LuckySprites.png And then...I'll be back to peak performance?
MinerSpritesheet.png I can't promise that. But if you keep at it...you'll get your movement back eventually.
MinerSpritesheet.png Let's do another set.
MinerSpritesheet.png This will be our cooldown, so let's do them slower.
MinerSpritesheet.png Hold the stretch for three beats for each rep, instead of one.
[placeholder for misses and whatnot]
MinerSpritesheet.png Great job!
MinerSpritesheet.png Let's end strong! 20 reps, and then we're done.

[After 5 reps]

PaigeSpriteS.png Knock, knock! Good morning, Mr Stevenson!
PaigeSpriteS.png We have a special guest for you today...
MrStevensonSpriteS.png Wha...?
PaigeSpriteS.png Your wife is here! She's going to be moved to this room.
MrsStevensonSpriteS.png Sweetie! Ohhh, look at you, your leg...
MrStevensonSpriteS.png Stacy! There you are!
MrsStevensonSpriteS.png You had me worried sick, you know.
PaigeSpriteS.png (The reunion! It's finally happening!)
PaigeSpriteS.png (Oh my god, Ian, look...she's holding his hannd so gently. Now his lip is starting to quiver...)
IanSpriteS.png (H-he's gonna cry...I can't handle it...)
PaigeSpriteS.png Everyone, come in here!
NicoleSpriteS3.png Aw, now that's a precious sight. You lovebirds are back together!
HaileySpriteS.png Ohmygoshhh, you two are so cute!
LoganSpriteS.png Woah, the birds are flying in on their own!
MrStevensonSpriteS.png I'm sorry for worrying you. Could you find it in your heart to forgive a clumsy old oaf like me?
MrsStevensonSpriteS.png In a heartbeat.
HaileySpriteS.png Awwww!
PaigeSpriteS.png Someone go get the Intern! Where are they?
ColeSpriteS2.png I think they're doing some other thing, with that baseball guy.
PaigeSpriteS.png Really? They're missing out- oh my gosh, he's showing her the photo he kept by the bed!
IanSpriteS.png *sniffle*
NicoleSpriteS3.png Ian's crying! Ian's actually crying for real!

[End of session]

MinerSpritesheet.png Phew! Good workout.
MinerSpritesheet.png I think we'll stop for the day.
LuckySprites.png Are you sure? That was...short.
MinerSpritesheet.png No need to push ourselves! One day at a time.
MinerSpritesheet.png Great work today!
MinerSpritesheet.png What do ya think? Was that too much?
LuckySprites.png Somehow...I feel fine!
LuckySprites.png I mean, my shoulder's still busted like hell, but...nothing we did was hurting it.
MinerSpritesheet.png Great! It was a good thing we took it slow.
MinerSpritesheet.png We can do it again tomorrow. Same time. As long as we don't push your body past what it's ready to handle, it shouldn't hurt.
LuckySprites.png Th-thanks.
LuckySprites.png Heh. I'm sure you didn't think when you woke up today that you'd be helping Lucky Jonronero with stretches, huh?
MinerSpritesheet.png Haha. Sorry? Should I know you?
LuckySprites.png Oh. I play for the Middlesea Scales. Play baseball, I mean. Or, at least, I used to. Before all of...this.
MinerSpritesheet.png Well, Lucky, I'm glad I was able to meet another friendly face. I guess you can call me the lucky one!
MinerSpritesheet.png I also met a girl named Hailey, she recommended I come here. She seemed like a ray of sunshine too.
MinerSpritesheet.png Since I'm here, I might as well make the most of it and meet everyone.
MinerSpritesheet.png Next time you wanna talk workouts, you know where to find me. Have a good one, Lucky!
LuckySprites.png O-oh, uh...sure!
JanitorSmol.png Did you see the new guy? With the hard hat?
JanitorSmol.png Now that's a guy who does some real back-breaking labor.
JanitorSmol.png I could tell as soon as I saw him. Even just the look in his eyes. That's a weary soul.
JanitorSmol.png His skin's all worn from the sun. The way he sits...there's an air of exhaustion around him.
JanitorSmol.png Complete opposite of that computer whiz guy. With the bloodshot eyes and the delicate fingers.
JanitorSmol.png For me, the miner's a kindred spirit. I hope he enjoys the nice air-conditioning in here.
