[ In this isolated chamber, there are enough chairs around the rickety, rotten wooden desk to seat everybody. Some sunlight streams through the boarded windows to give enough light. You have pencils, pens, some scrap paper to brainstorm with, and a formal test sheet to put your final answers on. ]

Ugh, if only I could remember...I had a feeling I knew strange facts like this before. But I don't anymore.

Definitely blood. Sweat is another one.

Maybe you need to regain your memory of that stuff?

Perhaps. It's strange. I'm sure I wasn't a doctor, but I suppose I was just really knowledgeable.

It's good you are! I would have figured the Four Humors were kinds of jokes.

Ah, yeah. It must be that studying and learning things is sometimes useful for being a hero.

Of course it is! You never know when information will come in handy.

I wish I remembered more of it, though. For instance, the Hippocratic Oath? I've got no idea what that is.

It has to do with medicine, since that's what all the other questions are about.

Hmm, if it's an oath, then it might be a promise medics and nurses and doctors and people like that have to make?

That's right, it must have to do with medicine.

[Tapping the pen on his scrap paper.]

Yeah...don't they have to promise something like, "First, don't cut off arms"?

[Wait, no.]

I think I misremembered that.

...That's awfully specific.

[ squints ]

It might be, "First, do no harm."

That sounds more like a doctor oath.

Why would you say "don't cut off arms"?

It sounds similar?

...Does it?

[Making weighing motions with his hands.]

Arms, harm...

Maybe if you said them really really fast.
