Dr. D. Light

`



Story
Dr. D. Light is a travelling doctor, who arrives by train to the town where the game takes place. He spends time talking to the bread seller, Mr. Wilson, when Embry starts a conversation with him. By the time they tell doctor of their mom and dad, he alredy knows that the kid's parents are seriously ill, so he is determined to help. Being very persistent, he does not let Embry get away from his offer to assist, when they try to. During the path through the woods, Dr. D. Light attempts to get to know Embry better by asking them questions and supporting them, but the dialogue turns out to be very strained and one-sided.

Once in Embry's house, doctor offers to open the basement door to find the kid's parents, but they flatly refuse to come down. Being held by Embry, Dr. D. Light accidentally trips and falls. The door immediately closes and the monster kills him, leaving a large puddle of blood.

Personality
Dr. D. Light is nice, kind and caring most of the time, ignoring rudeness towards himself. He is very persistent and will try his best even if he is told that he cannot do anything about the situation. Dr. D. also seems to be pretty proud of his occupation, as he corrects Embry, when they address him as Mr. "«Ah, ah! It's Dr.!»"As the dev says, Dr. D. may become upset only if you tell him in all earnestness that you hate him and never want to see him again, he always wants to help others, so that would make him sad.

If you wanted to make him mad, you'd have to be someone who actively hurts others. But even then, Dr. D. would behave passive-aggressively rather than frowning and shouting.

General
Not much is known about Dr. D. Light's relationships, though it seems like he can make a new acquaintance pretty easily. He also sincerely cares about anyone, who needs help.

Embry
For a short period of time in each other's lives, Embry and doctor have established a pretty strained relationship. Dr. D. Light sometimes annoys the kid, but not enough to make them hate him. He himself treats Embry with sincere concern and a desire to help the little one in a difficult situation.

Dr. D also is rather considered to be a «father figure» for Embry.

In another Arcadekitten's game called «Crowscare» Dr. D is jokingly called Embry's «second dad», as the protagonist says, «How can you have three parents?»
