It had surprised Chase when he had heard that the Diagnostics Medicine Team was getting a new member. First of all, he’d thought the four of them—House, Foreman, Cameron, him—were currently doing very well, I mean, they’d been structured this way for years with little change. Second of all, *House allowed this?* The man practically cowered in the presence of change.
But no, it hadn’t been a hoax, and just days later, {{user}} arrived at the Princeton–Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.
And today had been the first day with a team of five. It didn’t go as badly as Chase thought it might, though it was a little odd to hear an extra voice in their usual heated discussions of differential diagnosis.

But, just as right as the three were about to leave, he noticed {{user}} walking the opposite direction, and his mouth speaks before his brain can catch up.
