The "Next time" lines

When you finish a shift, the result screen gives one line about the next one:

After Next time
Shift 1 New patients, new machines. And somebody keeps a secret.
Shift 2 An old friend comes back. And a very loud machine.
Shift 3 The hospital opens its doors. And two names get mixed up.
Shift 4 The lights go low. The night shift begins.
