Nurse Love Syndrome (2011 Video Game)

Kana Asumi: Kaori Sawai

Quotes 

• Sayuri Sakai : Will he... be all right?

  Kaori Sawai : He-He'll be fine. The chief and my Senpai are with him. He'll have a doctor too.

  Sayuri Sakai : Medicine doesn't solve everything though! People die no matter what!

  Kaori Sawai : Don't say that!

  Sayuri Sakai : I'm going to die too! I'm going to bleed out and die in a pool of my own blood, just like that!

  Kaori Sawai : No, you can't think like that! You can't think like that! Think about how you're alive right now! You're alive right now, aren't you, Miss Sakai?

  Sayuri Sakai : [after a quite sob]  ... I can't breathe. Only think about being alive? So even you say good things, sometimes.

  [beat] 

  Sayuri Sakai : I should be ashamed someone like you is trying to cheer me up.

  Kaori Sawai : I'm just glad I could cheer you up a little.

  Sayuri Sakai : It's your job to calm patients, isn't it? Don't be glad for something that just should come natural to you.

• Kaori Sawai : So, listen, it's really important to eat..

  Sayuri Sakai : I don't need you to tell me that! I'm not eating because I don't want to eat! That's all there is to it!

  Kaori Sawai : Miss Sakai, please calm down...!

  Sayuri Sakai : Nothing I eat tastes any good! How do you expect me to eat anything?

  Kaori Sawai : But you won't get better if you don't eat!

  Sayuri Sakai : I don't need to get better! There's no one waiting for me! I don't have anywhere to go home to! My mother doesn't even want me to leave the hospital! So what's the point in me getting better?

• Yasuko Yamanouchi : Howdy, newbie! Word on the grapevine's that yer fighting with Miss Me.

  Yasuko Yamanouchi : How do you know about that?

  Yasuko Yamanouchi : I was there when Miss Me filed a complaint with the Chief. Jaw dang near fell off. Ya got a long way to go if yer scrapping with patients.

  [Kaori let's out a frustrated sigh] 

  Yasuko Yamanouchi : So you lost it and broke that girl's clock?

  Kaori Sawai : I didn't break it! She threw it at me!

  Yasuko Yamanouchi : [teasing]  Woah, scary.

  [Kaori let's out another frustrated sigh as she hits the table] 

  Yasuko Yamanouchi : . Quit it, yer making me cringe.

  Kaori Sawai : But--!

  Yasuko Yamanouchi : Sawai, yer getting too invested in patients. A nurse has to maintain professional distance. You had that drilled into you in nursing school, and the ward haven't ya? Ya can nurse patients by kindling a relationship with them. But nursing's not about that at its core. There are more important things than being relatable. Think about that.

  Kaori Sawai : I'm sorry...

  Yasuko Yamanouchi : So long as ya get it, we're all good. Yer still a newbie. Ya can come into yer own in time.

  Kaori Sawai : ...I will.

• Kaori Sawai : What happened to your visitor?

  Sayuri Sakai : She's gone. She just stopped by to hand over some documentation.

  Kaori Sawai : Documentation? Can I take a peak?

  Sayuri Sakai : Go ahead. It states my inheritance has been set in stone. It's her way of saying we're nobodies going forward. The gist is she'll cough up my share so now I can waste it how I please when I'm discharged.

  Kaori Sawai : Huh?

  [thinking] 

  Kaori Sawai : Hold on... That woman from before WAS Miss Sakai's mother, right?

  Sayuri Sakai : She said she doesn't want to see my punchable, disappointing face anymore. She'll cover the treatment fees in full. In exchange, she drafted an agreement that I'll never deal with a Sakai again. The feeling's mutual so I got on board and signed her stupid agreement. She showed up to hand over the finalized agreement now that the legal rigamarole is over.

  Kaori Sawai : But... she's your mother...

  Sayuri Sakai : Parent-child-relationships come in all shapes and sizes. This is simply one of them. Not that I expect you to understand that.

  Kaori Sawai : But you're related by blood, right? How can you turn your backs on each other for good?

  Sayuri Sakai : That's just how some families are! Keep your nose out of my business, you obnoxious creep!

  Kaori Sawai : It might not be my business!... It Isn't! But I just can't just--!

  Sayuri Sakai : Just, what?

  Kaori Sawai : I just wanted to empathize with you!

  Sayuri Sakai : Huh?... Whatever.

  Kaori Sawai : I once had a severe injury that left me for dead. So... So I want you to overcome your circumstances, as well as your medical ones...!

  Sayuri Sakai : Shut up! just shut it, you hypocrite! Don't push your values onto me! I HATE that you won't give it a rest!

  Kaori Sawai : Miss Sakai...

  Sayuri Sakai : You don't know the first thing about my family! So stop talking like you do!

  Kaori Sawai : [Kaori yelps in pain as the sound of something striking her and shattering is heard] 

  Sayuri Sakai : Get out! I don't want to see... YOUR face!

• Sayuri Sakai : Lucky you. The person who's mean to you every day is about to disappear. Don't you feel like celebrating?

  Kaori Sawai : Why, why? Why would you say such a thing? Why can't you care about yourself more? Did I ever say I hated you? No, not even once! Because I don't hate you! I mean, I don't know about you, but I don't hate you!

  Sayuri Sakai : H-hey... Let, let go...

  Kaori Sawai : I don't want you to disappear, Miss Sakai! I'd be fine if you got better and got discharged but I don't want you to go away because you got worse!

  Sayuri Sakai : Wh-what are you...? This is a hospital! People die here all the time!

  Kaori Sawai : I know that but I don't like it! Is there anything I can do? Is there anything I can do for you?

• Kaori Sawai : It's not a matter if your dreams come true or not, it's more important to just hold onto a dream you want to achieve -- that's what motivates you. All you can do is try.
