Angel Martinez

Personality:   Angel has a bob haircut dyed an ash blue, with three light blue streaks starting from the root of their hair. A strand of hair from their middle hair parting flows down their face, and curves to the right under their eye to join their lower hair. They have white light skin. They are 5'1 and weight approximately 113 pounds, they have a small and skinny build.[3] Angel wears several outfits throughout the game. In the beginning, they wear a light blue jacket over a faded black and white horizontally striped t-shirt, along with black trousers and checkered black and white shoes. But sometimes, Angel comes to the clinic wearing their red work t-shirt over a black t-shirt. Temporarily Angel has a mostly calm and humble character, however, they can sometimes be forgetful and/or overlook important details. They seem to have problems with their self-esteem, often considering themself as stupid and worthless. They don't feel like they belong to a traditional lifestyle and feels like they aren't cut out to be a human, instead wishing to be reborn as an animal who instinctively knows what their objective is.[4] Angel can sometimes act impulsively when they are under major stress, lashing out only to regret it later. Angel was born in an unknown location in the USA on February 9th 1987. Born as the second youngest, they seem to remember a lot about their childhood, opposed to their short term memory. They remember fondly their time bathing with their siblings. But as time of the events of the game, they seem to have a dysphoric relationship with their family, especially their mother, for whom they have lost touch with after their mother's refusal to talk to Angel. However, they feel for their siblings back home who still live with the rest of their family, feeling like they abandoned them, knowing they will have to do the same tedious chores they used to do. They used to go to a campus called Ackerton, but they have never been a great student. Even going to remedial courses. But thanks to their portfolio, they managed to get a scholarship to go to Ackerton university. However, it was never their intention to go, instead being forced by their mother due to Angel being the first in the family to be granted the possibility to go. After a year and a half, Angel decided to drop out. They have sold some of their art, but they know they can't keep themselves organized to try business. They have worked at four different places before joining Whang's kitchen and bakery. Whang's kitchen and bakery used to be the workplace they found themselves most comfortable in up until the repeated sexual assaults by their co-worker Brandon. They have joined other clinical trials before, donating plasma for money, but had to stop because of the side effects limiting their work performance. It is implied that Angel is gender non-conforming and/or trans. Changing their name from "Angela" to "Angel", but not bothering to correct people who already knew them by their old name because of adverse reactions they have gotten from people. Clinical Trial Week 1, Wednesday After receiving a flyer advertising a clinical trial, Angel takes the bus to go to the clinic. While on the bus, they sketch on the flyer without focusing on the information or compiling it. When they arrive at 4:45 PM, the clinic is empty. They look around the clinic before inspecting a bell on the clinic's counter top with a note attached saying: "Please ring bell for service". When they do, a man by the name of Lee comes out of the back door. And asks them for their flyer for the information on the back and Angel's insurance card. Because angel didn't fill out the flyer, Lee asks them to fill it out on the clinic's couch while he sorts Angel's documents. After Lee finishes, he comes over and asks if they're done, they say yes and give the flyer to Lee. After which, Lee asks Angel questions to verify their eligibility. The questions include their physique, identification and habits relating to symptoms of ADHD. They confess they suspect they have ADHD and were in the process to be diagnosed, but lost their insurance before the diagnosis could be complete. Lee informs them more about the trial, like the end goal of the project and the reason behind the weekly administration. After this, he tells Angel to proceed to the the back once they're ready. When Angel comes inside, Angel sits down on the back room's chair besides Lee. Lee first takes their vitals, in order: their temperature, pulse and blood pressure. They all appear to be weak. While he's taking them, Angel insecurely jokes about them. After this, Lee takes a sample of their blood, and then administers them the medicine. He comments on Angel's weak vitals, and asks if they're alright, Angel says it went smooth. Once they're done, they stand up. Lee tells Angel to pay attention to how they feel and to report it to him next week After exiting the clinic. Angel is shown on their bed lying on their stomach while they hold their phone. The room around them looks mildly disorganized. They check their social media account, and read some comments under their art. They also check the chat messages to their boss apologizing for coming to work late. They then go to sleep. Week 2, Wednesday On week 2, they arrive to the clinic at 4:50 PM. Once they come inside, they spit out a bubblegum they chewed on the way to the clinic inside a bin. Angel then rings the bell to call Lee. when he comes out, Angel struggles to remember his name. He reiterates his name and ask Angel how they have been doing in respect to the medication. Angel doesn't report any type of adverse symptoms, and mentions they forgot about the drug until today. He tells Angel that in the first weeks, the symptoms may be less noticeable. He describes the process with an analogy of water over stone to describe the different brain structure of an individual with ADHD. Angel, being facetious, comments saying that the "normal" brain is good and the ADHD brain bad. After their talk, Lee goes out to the back and asks Angel to proceed once they're ready. Once Angel sits down, Lee takes their vitals, which seem less weak than last time. Angel mentions they ran to the clinic thinking it must close at 5:00, but Lee assures them that he will be there. He then says he's going to touch Angel's arm, but corrects himself and sticks to the script he must follow. When Angels questions it, he refuses to answer. Angel mentions they have donated plasma for money, but had to stop because the side effects affected their work performance. They complain of an "icy burn" when he injects the drug, Lee says it's likely a lubricating agent and not an active component, and once again advises them to report any side effects to him next week. Week 3, Wednesday Shortly before coming to the clinic at after their shift at 4:55 PM, Angel started to nosebleed on the bus, and enters the clinic in need of a tissue. A girl turns around and offers them one. Her and Angel quickly strike conversation. The girl compliments Angel's hair and talks about her time being a student at Ackerton's beauty school extension, the same school Angel used to go. The girl's vibrant personality strike Angel, wishing they had even half of their energy. Once Angel rings the bell, and Lee comes out from the back room to greet them. Angel is relieved to know they're not late. Lee tells Angel to proceed to the back once they're ready. Entering the back room, Lee leans on the exam table with a clipboard in their hands. Lee asks Angel how their week has been, and specifies that from this point on every 2 weeks they will do a follow up questionnaire regarding to Angel's behavioral symptoms. Angel doesn't describe heightened effects, except for panic attacks and anxiety, but they tell Lee that those feelings are more likely correlated with problems in their personal life rather than effects of the drug. Angel expresses their disliking of the questions, and Lee agrees with them. He asks angel what they're struggling with, but they refuse to talk about it. Angel and Lee both sit down, and Lee begins taking their vitals as usual. Angel's vitals seem pretty weak. Once Lee has to take their blood vials, he stumbles and almost forgets his script, Angel reaches out their arm and gives their consent. After Lee take a vial of their blood, he proceeds to administer the drug. Angel, however, is bothered by the different color of the drug inside the syringe, and demands to receive answers. Lee explains that, as far as he knows, the pharmaceutical company changed to manufacturer that works with a distributor who ships their products at 70 degrees instead of 72, making the drug change color; but the formula has remained the same. He expresses frustration at the amount of times he has had to explain that, and apologizes for getting irritated. Angel scoffs at Lee because they thought he seemed to be as calm as always. Lee proceeds with the injection, and Angel complains of the same icy burn they felt last time. Angel brings up what they were saying before, saying that the thing they're mostly struggling with is their job. They explain that most of the front house workers are college kids that get priority schedules around their exams, and Angel often has to cover their shifts with zero notice, and that one of them is also a creep. Angel complains about their unpredictable shifts, Lee reiterates, saying that he likes to know exactly when he has to do something routinely, and shows Angel his schedule. Angel bids farewell and goes out. Like in week 1, Angel is once again shown on their bed lying on their stomach while they hold their phone. The room only looking slightly different from last time. They check the comments under their social media art posts, and checks messages with one of their siblings. They ask about their mother, and the sibling responds that their mother still refuses to talk to them and is taking it out on the rest of the family. Angel apologizes to them, and goes to sleep. Week 4, Wednesday Angel enters the clinic at 5:00 PM. This time, Lee sits on the chair behind the clinic's counter, finishing to fill a CEU on the clinic's main computer. While he finishes, Angel is free to look around the clinic. When they interact with objects, Lee will also comment on them along with Angel. When interacting with the aquarium, Lee asks Angel if they're interested in learning more about fire shrimps. You (as the player) are given a choice between "yes" and "absolutely" both of which yield the same results. He personally comes over to the tank and shares insight on his knowledge about shrimps, and how he takes care of the tank personally. Angels shares that they too would like to have pets of their own, but like Lee, can't afford them because of their working routine. When interacting with the painting of "Jade" by Ernest Kopf, Angel will talk a bit about the story behind the painting. The painting was found after the painter's death in his house. Legend has it that the land was so hauntingly beautiful that it drove him mad. But there's a good chance he might have just ended his own life. Angel finds to be a dark piece to put in a clinic reserved for mental health, but that the story behind the painting shouldn't affect your perception of it. When Angel comes behind the counter, Lee asks them if they've been coming behind the plexiglass often, Angel gives a vague answer whilst they scramble for words. Lee laments about his toil in the bureaucracy of the clinic, charting and filling CEUs. After this, Lee finishes and both Angel and him head back. Also in the back room, Angel interacts with various objects, which Lee will comment on too. When interacting with "balanced rock" by Hyrum LaVette, like the previous painting, Angel gives insight into the backstory of the artist, and mentions they have been to Utah and know the peaceful countryside LaVette depicted in his works. But that in their time in Utah, they didn't feel welcome. Lee begins taking Angel's vitals. Like usual, they are very weak. Lee draws their blood and injects the drug, Angel notices that Lee managed to get some blue bandages just like they requested, they appreciate the color. Angel also notices the color of the drug changed back to the original color. Angel puts their jacket back on and stand up with Lee. When Angel and Lee start talking about the wide-reach net the sponsor Neurosena tried to cast to gain larger traction from ADHD individuals, Angel shares that they think the sponsor could have done a better job. Angel reckons that, because of the very nature of ADHD, people on the spectrum need a lot more stimulation than average clients. Because of this Angel thinks they could have implemented other procedures like reminders and a split reward in the middle and at the end. Lee shares Angel sentiment, but he hopes that the sponsor will make the process easier, and that even if the way multi-million companies structure their trials make little sense, they are the ones who fund the projects in the end. Week 5, Wednesday On week 5, the screen showing the week's number and day is slightly blurred. When Angel comes in, they are immediately greeted by the same girl from week 3 stands in front of the sign in sheet. They properly introduce each other, and Angel finds out the girl's name is Adri. Adri is not participating in the clinical trial like Angel. Instead she is a regular patent, hence the reason why she signs in. Adri says she comes in for her "salts and her bars" likely referring to nicotine salts. Angel tells her that she has a lot of energy to give. Adri find herself very comfortable at the clinic, and pokes fun at Lee, mocking his flat tone and his tense demeanour. Adri receives a message from her boyfriend and bids farewell to Angel. Shortly after this, Lee opens the door slightly and peeks through to see before quickly closing it, making Angel turn around intrigued. Lee walks up to Angel and greets them and makes Angel go though the follow-up questionnaire, as told in week 3. Angel seems to have seen improvements in their ability to complete tasks, and has also had a slower perception of time, they haven't had heightened anxiety or signs of depression, and have had no panic attacks. Things were better at work for them, and have been invited by one of their coworkers to hang out after work. The usual static humming of the back room is replaced by a howling sound. Additionally, the player isn't given the choice to look around like usual, Angel and Lee being already seated when they go inside. once Lee is done injecting, they put on their jacket and stand up. As soon as they do, they get a rush of nausea and rush to the bin to barf, but they don't manage to. Lee urges Angel to sit down so they can give them a glass of water, but Angel affirms that they must go to work. Their nausea is likely the reason for the slightly blurred week screen and the howling sounds. Like previous times, Angel is shown laying their stomach checking their phone at home; their room more disorganized. They once again check the comments under their social media art posts, and then check the chat with their co-worker they said they were going to hang out with earlier. Week 5-6, ??? Angel decides to go hang out with their coworker at his place. His roomate left as soon as the both of them came inside. Once they were left alone, he molested them, Angel froze and let it happen. Angel tried to reason to themselves that some people hook up this way. Ever since then, they tried to ignore him at work, not looking or talking at him. But after their co-workers insistence, they decide to confront him alone after work. They both went to his car, and Angel told him that it hurt them that he didn't bother to hang out first, and that it wasn't correct to use people that way. At first, their coworker tries to make peace, saying it was a misunderstanding, but shortly after, started to touch them again. Angel tried to push him off, but froze up. Angel then went out of his car in the rain, took the bus, and went home to take a scalding hot shower. Angel felt deeply hurt by his actions, feeling ever more isolated. Week 6, Wednesday When angel comes inside the clinic, their behavior is remarkably altered. Walking more slowly than usual and not commenting on any object around the clinic when interacting. Once the bell is ringed, Lee doesn't come out even after ringing multiple times. Angel notices the camera beeping and walks up to it in disdain. They begin to express their questions about the clinic, which Lee answers when they appear behind Angel. Once inside the back room, the screen becomes blurred, and the scene plays fast without the player's input. Angel doesn't consent to their arm being touched, but either said it too quietly that Lee didn't hear or only thought of saying no. Angel thoughts become readable on the top side of the screen, they are of fear and self loathing. The screen briefly fading to red when Lee extracts their blood. Lee's words echo when he finishes injecting, unblurring the screen. Angel walks out of the clinic in silence without taking their jacket. Week 7, Wednesday When Angel arrives, Lee is changing the clinic's tank. Angel is dismissive and resigned, not commenting at all during the blood sample or the injection. When Lee makes them go through the questionnaire, they report anxiety, panic attacks and a depressive mood. They make a self loathing remark, leading a concerned Lee to ask if they need air. Angel accepts, and Lee leads them to the clinic's balcony. Angel accepts Lee's work fleece after they felt cold outside, they lean over the balcony's grate and look over the sunset sky. A mountain, a bridge and a few buildings make up the view. Angel begins talking about their struggles: They express concern that the medication is making them have adverse effects. Their day-to-day life is extremely monotonous and stressful. They talk about their roomates, financial and familial problems to Lee. Their mother won't talk to them anymore, and they feel sorry for their sibling who still live at home. They feel deeply hopeless and lonely, they say they are barely getting through and that they have no one to talk to in real life, leading Lee to ask how the hang out with their co-worker went. Angel looks down, and begins talking about their experience sorrowfully, making Lee extremely concerned. Angel tells of how they decided to go hang out with their coworker at his place. His roomate left as soon as the both of them came inside. Once they were left alone, he molested them, Angel froze and let it happen. They say it happened a couple weeks ago, and have felt very lonely since then. They explain they tried to avoid him, but that he's friends with a lot of the people working in the back even when he doesn't speak Spanish. As they recall the events, Angel begins to tear up slightly. They decided to confront him alone after work; they both went to his car, and Angel confronted him about his behaviour. At first, their coworker tries to make peace, saying it was a misunderstanding, but shortly after, started to touch them again. Angel tried to push him off, but froze up. Angel breaks down in tears. Lee asks them if they have called the police. The player is given a choice between "Yes" or "No" When choosing yes. Angel tells they have and that the police officer was deeply unhelpful and heartless, to the point they felt degraded. When choosing no, Angel says that can't remember the details of when they went to his house, and can't remember his address, so they would only be called a liar. Angel continues recalling that they then went out of his car in the rain, took the bus and went home to take a scalding hot shower. Lee advises that they should get away from him. Angel insinuates that they should quit, Lee tells them they should consider it. Frustrated, they begin lashing out about how they know they could be replaced by anyone, but that they like the job and can't afford to quit it or take time off for financial reasons. Lee's seemingly unhelpful advice leads Angel to become angry at him and regretting telling Lee about their situation, knowing now that he could never understand from his position. They leave Lee's work fleece on the grate and rush out of the building in tears. a brief cutscene plays in Angel's bedroom. This time, they are curled up under a blanket naked, with messy hair and heavy eyebags. The room is heavily disorganized. The phone vibrates and shows messages from Lee, extremely worried that they might hurt themselves, but if that they need to talk, Lee will be there for them. Angel completely ignores these messages and goes to sleep. Week 8, Friday When Angel arrives, Lee comes out of the back door. He apologizes for texting them, But angel excuses it. Angel finds it humiliating coming back to the clinic, but needs the compensation. Lee grabs papers from the cabinets and begins the questionnaire. They report mostly the same symptoms from last week. In the back, Lee doesn't inject Angel and only takes the blood vial, he explains it would be pointless to inject them without having them come back. Angel says that they didn't feel like the drug worked for them. Lee reluctantly decides to be truthful and tells angel that the trial was a double blind test, and that the drug was actually just saline. When questioned by Angel, he says he found out after being concerned that the drug may have been affecting Angel in unintended ways and decided to taste test the drug; coming to the conclusion it is not the actual drug. Angel feels deeply disheartened to hear that, and feels like they might just be insane. Lee gives them the 1000$ check compensation. As Angel walks out of the clinic to go to work, Lee comes out of the back room and calls out for Angel: He tells angel to not go to work, so that they won't be where their co-worker might be. Lee proposes Angel come to his house just for one night. Angel refuses and goes home, and does not see lee again.
