I think Leo Bardonaro is an anesthesiologist.
One, because an anesthesiologist's job is to take the 10 or 15 minutes max they have with a patient and essentially convince them to put their entire life in their hands. Other doctors and surgeons typically get a significantly longer chunk of time to interact with the patient and answer their questions, but at the end of the day, it is the anesthesiologist who will be keeping the patient alive, stable, and safe while the procedure is going on. For better or worse, Leo has the kind of relaxed, companionable personality that would not only be able to leave a patient laughing, but also to feel entirely at ease—he's confident, he's collected, and if he's not worried about this, why should they be?
Two, because I think he would've had way too much fun making jokes about laughing gas.

Currently going insane thinking of The Amazing Digital Circus and the absolute HORROR of that fucking premise
Like the fact the cast knows they are not in their bodies and all it's already fucking scary, but also they can't remember what they looked like or their names is fucking horrifying
Like sure the part of not being in their bodies and having the crazy ass dysphoria is horrifying to me because- well, DID systems aren't a one person thing and in our case no one looks nor feels like the body is theirs so fuck us I guess
BUT never mind that, like being put on a body that is not yours that shit is already wild, but THEN forgetting what you looked like?? Holy shit that is a nightmare scenario, like props to Goose for making such a silly yet fucking nightmarish shit, that gotta be the worse place to Isekai'd fr

AU Thursday: Smiler's Otherland -- Not-Incorrect Quotes Collection!
Because you know me and these by now XD
--
Alice: [taking Victor and Smiler on a tour of the Vale of Tears] All right, next we're heading to the Duchess's house -- not particularly because I want you two to meet her, but because the path provides some perfect opportunities for you to practice your jumping and --
Insidious Ruin: [bubbles up out of the ground in front of them, squealing and screeching]
Alice: Oh damn it. [pulls her Vorpal Blade, motioning for Victor and Smiler to hang back] You two get behind me, I'll --
Smiler: Hang on, let me try mine! [pulls out the Inoculator and hits the Ruin with a stream of bright yellow liquid]
Ruin: [stops in its tracks, blinking and dripping yellow] ...
Ruin: [lurches forward again and, with a happy noise, grabs Alice around the legs in a hug]
Alice: [jerking backward] What the --
Smiler: [grinning] Aww, it loves you!
Alice: [desperately stabbing it in the head] I DON'T WANT IT TO LOVE ME
--
Alice: [looking around Smile Street and seeing a familiar swirly-eyed grin everywhere -- painted on houses, trimmed into bushes, on people's clothing] ...
Alice: [looks up and spots the same smile on the freaking sun itself]
Alice: [taps Smiler on the shoulder and jerks her head toward it] Really?
Smiler: [gives her a look] You're giving me that when you have all those statues of yourself scattered around the Vale of Tears?
Victor: [raising a hand] If we're having a narcissism contest, my Otherland is almost entirely populated by copies of myself.
Alice: [pause] ...that is pretty bad.
Smiler: Yeah, I think you have to win that contest.
Victor: Hey!
--
Alice: [climbing aboard the SS Gryphon] Mock Turtle? Are you here?
Mock: [popping out of the captain's cabin with a giant grin] Hi Alice! Great to see you! Isn't it such a spectacular day?
Alice:
Alice: [peering around them suspiciously] Smiler? Did you use the Inoculator on Mock?!
Smiler: [calling from the cabin] He asked me to!
--
Victor: [standing with Smiler and Alice in front of Mr. Explorer's treehouse in the Butterfly Jungle] And this is Smiler! Which you might already know, but we wanted to introduce you properly.
Smiler: [beaming] Great to meet you!
Mr. Explorer: [looks Smiler up and down, focusing on the yellow-and-black-spiral-pattern waistcoat under their jacket] Oooooh! You're the reason for them!
Smiler: ?
Alice: Beg pardon?
Mr. Explorer: Just a moment! [hurries away into the undergrowth, and returns with a butterfly -- sporting yellow-and-black spiral-patterned wings] They showed up a little while ago! They're really sweet, and all the other butterflies really seem to like watching them flap around.
Alice: [lightly nudging Victor] Gee, I wonder why.
Victor: [nudging her back, whispering while slightly pink] Let's not corrupt my inner child.
--
Alice: [standing beside one of the swirly portals from the first game, now set into a rock in the new and improved Vale of Tears] And so these allow me to travel between various locations nearly instantaneously, instead of having to rely on the rail line.
Smiler: [grinning at the portal] Oh, that is neat! And they look so cool too -- don't you think so, Victor?
Victor: [staring at the portal, doesn't reply]
Smiler: ...Victor?
Alice: Victor! [snaps her fingers in front of his nose]
Victor: [starts, blinks rapidly, blushes despite himself] Oh, uh, ah, t-they're -- they're very -- n-nice.
Smiler: [slowly growing predatory smile] Oh, are they now...
Alice: [also grinning] Perhaps we could use one to find a slightly more private spot for you to stare?
Victor: [going even deeper pink] Shut up.
--
[the trio are watching two Inoculated Menacing Ruin throw fireballs at a very confused Colossal Ruin in the Dollhouse]
Alice: [to Smiler, as the Colossal Ruin tries to run away, only for one of the Menacing Ruins to slam into its side] I've changed my mind, your weapons are great.
