'''Something to Tell You''' is the first level of Act 6.

It marks the formal introduction of [[Syncopation]] into the main story.

== Synopsis ==
Logan and Hailey are treated throughout the hospital as Logan attempts multiple times to confess his feelings to Hailey. When alone, Hailey wonders why Logan hasn't admitted his feelings for her, Logan wonders why he can't be strong enough to tell the truth, and both worry that the love they feel isn't really felt by the other. At the end, they finally yell to each other that they want to be more than friends.

the next day…

{|
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Welcome back!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|You came at a good time. I’ve made a lot of progress on studying Connectifia abortus.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|I’ve been looking into a fix, so that it won’t keep coming back.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|In the meantime…we’ve got a new patient!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|When Paige gets here, she can help us run some tests.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Oh, and, uh…
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Y’know how everyone who gets signed in needs to fill out some forms, right?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|There’s a space at the bottom to ask for accommodations.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|The new guy wrote something for us…let me find it…
|-
|
|”My only request is that Dr Gabriel Edega is not permitted to speak to me.”
|-
|
|”I am happy to work with any of the other providers on staff. Otherwise, I will discontinue my treatment.”
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|No idea what that’s about.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|I told him to wait here, but then he wandered upstairs and made himself comfortable.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|I think he’s in the old Medical Records Room. We barely use it these days, so it’s kind of messy.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Oh hey, here’s Edega now, actually. I’ll just ask him-
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Intern. I need to speak with you in my office.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|You and Dr Paige. She’s waiting for you there.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|It’s time for your performance evaluation.
|} 
Performace Evaluation
{|
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=yoyo}}
|(Good morning, Intern! Hopefully this goes quick, right?) 
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Sir, is there any way that this can wait a few minutes?
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|We have a new patient that needs our help.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|The nurse told me he really isn’t feeling well-
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Ian is more than capable of getting set up on his own.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|This can’t wait.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|It’s been quite a while now since we instate the Rhythm Defibrillation Program.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|You’re long overdue for an evaluation. Both of you.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|O-oh…okay!
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Let’s get started. First, Dr Paige.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|To be blunt, I’ve noticed some concerning behavior.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|It started shortly after we began the program.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|To list just one example…currently, we are making headway on our Miracle Defibrillator project.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|As part of that process, we require patients with relevant arrhythmia symptoms to consent to testing it while it’s in beta.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Without testing, we can’t move forward.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|After I had already been in talks with Mr Jonronero to begin further testing, he suddenly declined his consent.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|I know that his sudden decision was because of your influence.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Do you really assume that you know what’s best for him?
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=baffled}}
|S-sir, I don’t have any control over what Lucky wants to do. It’s his body-
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|You’ll have an opportunity to speak after your evaluation.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|After this roadblock, I took it upon myself to discuss the Miracle Defibrillator beta with various other patients.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Strangely, every patient I spoke to also declined their consent.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|I can’t help but wonder if this is also a matter of your interference.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Furthermore…
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|When I introduced the Rhythm Defibrillation Program, I made it clear that both you and Ian were to shift to rhythm treatments.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|An yet…no matter how many times I’ve checked in on you, I can hardly remember you getting practice with the rhythm defibrillator.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|You disregarded your instructions and have made a habit of relying on Ian and the intern.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Every day spent resisting the shift to rhythm treatment is a day where we have to turn more patients away.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|You’ve always been a bright and motivated person. It’s not like you to let stubbornness get in the way of saving lives.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I…
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|And to think this laziness is coming from the same person who requested a switch to LTFT.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Oh, well…I was thinking maybe if I worked less than full-time, it would help me be more energized-
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|LTFT schedules are for staff who need them. Like doctors who are pregnant or raising children.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Do you have children at home, Ada?
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|No, sir, I’m single…I just thought that a more lax schedule could help me with-
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|I suspect you’ll be a team player and revoke that request. I appreciate it. Moving on.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Intern. It’s time for your evaluation.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|My notes on your performance are much briefer.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|You’ve been doing really impressive work. I have to thank you.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|You’re a quick learner, and you always seem determined to try again when you stumble.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|I look forward to continuing our work together.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|That is all.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Um, just to respond to your feedback…
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|The thing about the rhythm treatments is…you know, with that virus jumping around…
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I feel like we haven’t done the proper testing to really make sure there’s a permanent way-
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|I believe you said you had a patient to get to, Dr Paige.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|…
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|…y-yes,sir. I’ll get right on that.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=run}}
|I have to run to my office first, intern. Then I’ll meet you and Ian in the Records Room!
|} 
{|
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Hey! Hope the meeting went well…?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Let’s head to the Records Room and get that patient set up before he gets lost or something.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|It’s up the elevator. Paige can meet us there.
|-
|}
Records Room
{|
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|It’s that kid again. This is awkward.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Uh…what were you doing in there? That’s room’s supposed to be off-limits.
|-
|{{Sprite/Logan}}
|I was just scouting around!
|-
|{{Sprite/Logan|expr=cheers}}
|I was lookin’ for a cool spot to hang out, I don’t wanna be stuck in my room all the time.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Well, you can’t hang out in there. We keep confidential info about patients in there.
|-
|{{Sprite/Logan}}
|I saw that! At first I thought everything in the room was junk, but then I saw those big filing cabinet things.
|-
|{{Sprite/Logan}}
|They had all these folders with our names on them! So I, uh…starting flipping through.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Yeah I see that. You were snooping. Let me guess, you were reading that girl Hailey’s file?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Did you discover any big revelations about her in there?
|-
|{{Sprite/Logan|expr=crying}}
|It was mostly just blood pressure charts and insurance information…
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Yeah. Hospitals are kind of boring actually.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Why do you need a cool spot to hang out anyway?
|-
|{{Sprite/Logan|expr=doubleshock}}
|I’m trying to figure out the perfect way to tell Hailey that I…you know…! Is it crazy for me to be nervous about it?!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|You look really sweaty.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Intern, can you take care of this? I don’t think he’s going to get out the way until we help him out.

{|
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|Really wish these kids could just stay still...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|When I was their age, I stayed in my room and refreshed message boards all day! Like a good kid!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Notice those arrows on the ECG? That's syncopation.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|That's what we'll be treating here.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|In a set of seven pulses, the syncopated pulse will be shorter than the other six.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Usually this means they last half as long.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Think of the arrows like booster tiles in Kart Race Krumble.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Let's give it a try!
|}
::''Any misses:''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|C-Careful! When you see syncopation, prepare to hit roughly half a beat earlier than normal.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|But don't worry about the details, you'll feel it in the music.
|-
|}
::''No misses:''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Great!
|}
{|
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|By the way, syncopation can appear on any beat!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|It might move around a lot, so pay attention!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Let's give that a shot.
|-
|}
::''Any misses:''

|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Hope you've gotten a feel for it.

|Alright, great. You should be good to go now.
|-

|You think so? You think I should tell her now?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Wait, I wasn't talking to you-
|-
|{{Sprite/Logan|expr=cheers}}
|Maybe you're right. Maybe I just need to toughen up and get it done!

我应该穿哪件裙子，和他相会呢？他何时会来告白？我们挺合适的。

是不是想太多？该不该转身闪躲？海莉，我不想只做朋友……

同看夕阳落天际，心事沉在春风里。
咦？
漫天红霞映眼底，我却偷看……你！
糟糕，太笨拙的我，为什么总是不知所措，想把心事和你说！

暗示难道不够明显，才分享情歌。
还能怎样更直白，他在等待什么？
是不是想太多，思念着盼望着
好想勇敢说出口……怎么犹豫这么久？

想把心事和……哎呀！洛根！！
想把心事和你说，和你一起好快乐
我也是！
夜已深我却醒着，你想说……什么？
我总是言不由衷，怎么说才能让你听懂
为何心越来越痛……为何心越来越痛

他怎么忽冷忽热，越靠近越怕寂寞
我还能坚持多久，不愿意再找借口
太多心事看不破，太多心事想诉说
不愿我再想太多，不愿你再想太多

不愿我只是等待……
要勇敢大声告白……
要勇敢大声说爱……

想把心事和你说……
想把心事和你说，想把心事和你说，想把心事和你说，直到你目光闪烁
就想现在和你说（快和她说）

嗨！你……嗨-海莉！海莉！我——海莉！我——我不想只做朋友！嗯？……啊……
我不想只做朋友！

== Trivia ==
* Despite Something to Tell You being the first story level to use syncopation, the mechanic was originally tutorialized in the Bits & Bops collab level [[Meet and Tweet]], and was first implemented in the [[Level Editor|level editor]] even earlier.
* This is the second level that can end prematurely in response to a low ranking, with the first being [[One Shift More|One Shift More]].
* If played on 2P mode, this is the first instance of a <code>-xx-xx</code> pattern in a day shift story mode level.

|He rolls his eyes like I'm nagging him...and that makes it all feel so much worse.

|{{Sprite/Cole|expr=dramatic}}
|So, uh...tell Nicole she can still text me. I probably won't check it until later though.

|I need to, you know, actually get work done.
|-

|...I'm standing right here.

|But, anyway, thanks for helping me out with my heartrate. I feel like it was through the roof.

|So, uh...tell Cole he can still text me. I wasn't trying to step on his creativity or his dreams or whatever he thinks I was doing.
|-
|{{Sprite/Nicole|expr=stir}}
|After all the songs we've written together...I just don't get why I wasn't allowed to be part of it. We could've entered the contest as a team, working together.

|Phew! Okay. I'm back.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|How was the rehab meeting? Hopefully it went smooth, I really don't have time to be checking in on them.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|I thought the Rhythm Nurses would help with running tests and checking in on all the rooms...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|...but now patients keep coming to me with complaints about how the robots get stuck in the doorways.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|And since they keep running in and out of the rooms to find me, it triggers the Rhythm Security Guards' sensors!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|So then I have to explain to the security that it's okay for patients to move around, and...well...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Well, whatever! I don't even have time to figure that out because Lucky wants an update on his recovery schedule, and Mrs Stevenson too.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Plus I still need to look into the virus so I can finish work on my...on my...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=dizzy}}
|Phew. I, uh...I think I need to take a breather for a second. My head is getting hot.

|Wait, wait, hold on!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I know that this isn't quite, you know...my business...
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|...but I think it's worth noting that you might be having a hard time focusing because of your history of relying on caffeine!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|In the past, when you've worked hard on music...you've always associated that process with caffeine. It helped you focus, it brought you comfort.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|By being thrown into a high-stress deadline and not having that comfort...I think it's natural for you to feel antsy and distracted.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|But, more importantly! I think for the sake of your, um, relationship...you two should take a little bit of time by yourselves to collect your thoughts!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Between Cole's deadline and Nicole's job...you're not going to be able to get things done and also hash this all out. Right?

|No, no, I get it. And I was just starting to get annoyed that you kept pushing me away.

|A few of the other patients keep asking me if you're free to help them out.

|I'm a bit busy because Edega really wants me to do something. Which is really distracting because last night I almost finished something really important-

|I saw it all coming from a mile away! But the boy's too oblivious and the lady's too impatient.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|They were bound to butt heads eventually. The flirting phase is the easy part, the hard part comes when you have to get along.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|Nobody can read minds, right? So you've gotta sit people down and tell them what you're feeling!
|-

|I guess today will go down in history as the coffee couple's first fight.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|But, y'know... there's nothing wrong with fightin' every once in a while as long as you keep it cordial and patch it up afterwards.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|A little fightin' is healthy! It means you're confident enough to stand up for your feelings.

|That said... good luck to them! If they start fighting again, I'm leaving early for the day.

== Trivia ==
* Bitter Times is the second boss stage to be part of an act other than what it represents, after [[Super Battleworn Insomniac]].
** However, Bitter Times is the only boss stage (or night shift of a boss stage) that is not the final level of an act, as it is presented as the second level of Act 7, while [[Miracle Defibrillator (Cole's Song)]] is the final level.

'''Dreams Don't Stop''' (5-X) is a level in Rhythm Doctor.

It is the fifth boss level in the game. It is the first time that [[Window Dance]] is used to resize the window horizontally and vertically, in conjunction with previously established window movement. It is also the first level to utilise checkpoints, having one checkpoint during the first cutscene and a health refill on the last cutscene. Finally, it marks [[Lucia]]'s first appearance.

This level also introduces [[Blast Beats]].

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC3xw1L6ces The track] was created by fizzd.

== Synopsis ==
The level opens with Lucky expressing discontent over his continued state of injury, wondering how long the healing process will take. A montage then plays out, with Lucky being accompanied by the various hospital patients as time flashes by. His discontent grows into anger, leading into a conversation with the Miner where Lucky opens up about his past, worrying he will remain unaccomplished if he is unable to play baseball. The Samurai then asks Lucky if he can train him. Another montage plays out, showing Lucky training the Samurai on the field, then in a Beans Hopper cameo, as Logan and Hailey tag along to train with the Samurai. The Samurai then practices in the cafe, with Nicole pitching in to help, as Cole tags along in running with the cast. Lucky is then seeing coaching nearly all the hospital patients in the physiotherapy ward, giving a pep talk before their upcoming university game. The player then sees Ian warning Paige that the virus has returned, despite his efforts to keep it away. The view then cuts to Lucky, by himself, voicing his doubts out loud. The virus interferes as the view cuts to Lucky's dreams on the baseball field, heavily distorting the audio and visual cues. Afterwards, Lucky wakes up, in seemingly brighter spirits, as the view cuts to a representation of the hospital patients moving around on a heart-shaped baseball field, zooming in to focus on the Samurai using his bat to swing at baseballs. Lucky is then seen, in his typical baseball outfit, giving another pep talk to the hospital patients. His sprite gradually fades into his present-day self, with his arm cast and lack of baseball material, telling the patients that they will "live with no regrets" if they continue to push themselves. The lyrics fade in again during this moment, as the resolution of the level plays out. A dusty grain effect can be seen after another baseball field montage, displaying Lucky's past memories of him serving on the baseball field, of him standing on the hospital balcony, and of him engaging in exercises with the Miner. The level's final beat ends on the Samurai swinging at a baseball. After the level, Paige checks up on Lucky, to which he claims that he is feeling alright. Edega then speaks to Lucky about the aforementioned new rhythm treatment, now ready for use on patients, with the possibility of healing him permanently and in a fast manner. Lucky declines, stating that the friendly company of the hospital patients has made him want to stay at Middlesea Hospital, and that he has thoroughly enjoyed coaching them. Additionally, he cites the Miner's line about having "only one body," and that he does not want to risk permanently damaging it via risky treatment methods. Edega attempts to further pressure Lucky by claiming his contract is on the brink of being canceled and that he is disappointing his baseball fans. Lucky persists in declining the offer, claiming he has "found a better team." Ian then tells Paige that the cause of the virus has been the rhythm defibrillator itself all along. He claims he can fix it, but that he needs more time to do so. He says he'll need her and the intern to distract Edega in the meantime. Lucky then apologizes to the two doctors for his previous insults, before challenging the intern to an arm wrestle. The Miner, Nicole, and Hailey then compliment Lucky for his new friendly attitude, before Lucky tells them to shut up, out of embarrassment. Paige then tells the hospital patients to rest up, as Lucky chimes in to tell them that they'll be jogging laps around the block tomorrow. Paige then tells the intern that they can head home, concluding [[Act 5]].

|-| Tutorial=
{|
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Hello.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Dr Paige was supposed to be here to assist you, but she seems to be running late.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Getting distracted by other patients, presumably.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Before your next procedure, there's a few things you need to be prepped for.
|-
|''[Tutorial Begins]''
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} You've done an excellent job so far, regulating Mr Jonronero's heartbeat during this difficult time.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} It's still behaving erratically, so there's a few new patterns to be prepared for.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega|expr=noteflip}} According to Ian's notes, this first exercise is called the blast beat.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} It follows those "Get, Set!" cues that you learned back in the SVT Ward...
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} ...but it's a bit off-time from how it usually goes.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Watch this demonstration.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} As you can hear, there's an extra whistle cue from the nurse to signal this type of beat.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Our patients' heartbeats are always unpredictable.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} If someone is going to master this defibrillation system, they need to be ready for anything.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Try not to miss any beats, even if that quick transition catches you off-guard.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Let's see how you do.
|-
|''[Player One practices Blast Beats.]''
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Good enough.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega|expr=noteflip}} There's another pattern you should brush up on.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Mr Jonronero's heart is subdivided strangely. And sometimes it beats in quick chunks.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} I've told the nurse to warn you with a cue when this appears. She'll shout "One!"
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} One last test...
|-
|}
::''[If any beats are missed:]''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Impressive
|-
|}
::''[If the player has no misses:]''
::{|
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Excellent. You never miss a beat, do you?
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Last time I saw Paige using the rhythm defibrillator, she was still struggling with swing beats.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Hm...
|-
|}
{|
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Ian is lagging behind on his research. I need you to keep the patient stabilized until he's done.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} It may take a few weeks, at this rate.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Once the new defibrillator is finally ready, we'll have a landmark procedure on our hands.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} You've done a lot for us in a short time. A promotion would be well-earned.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} I'll be watching.
|-
|}

|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=bed}} Can't sleep...why is my heart racing?
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=bed}} Do I really care whether they win this pointless match?

|-
|''[Interlude]''
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky}} Ninth inning, team!

|-

|Good news. Ian has completed a beta build of the new defibrillator.

|It's much more powerful, more fully featured. We're calling it the Miracle Defibrillator.

|Actually...I think I'll pass.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Excuse me?
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|I couldn't tell at first, but it looks like I've been making good progress on my own.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Even if it's taking forever.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|When I got here, I was dying to get out, but...maybe this place ain't so bad.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|The people are...nice. And persistent.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|I thought they were screwing around when they said they wanted to play ball. But they really went through with it.
|-

|And every point they scored...it felt just as good as scoring my own.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Maybe even better.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|I've spent my whole career trying to make miracles happen on pure grit and determination.

|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Interesting. The choice is your own, but, if I may...

|From what I can tell, the status of your next contract with the Middlesea Scales seems to be hanging by a thread.

|You're keeping your fans waiting. And your team. I can't imagine that reflects well on you.

|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|What's up?

|About that virus, Connectifia Abortus...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|The intern's work at the baseball game, handling the big flare-up...it gave me a lot of great info.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|I think I've figured it out. It's the rhythm defibrillation system itself that keeps causing the glitches.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Oh...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Yeah. Yikes, right? But there's good news! I think we can fix it.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|I just need more time.

|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Edega keeps dragging me away to work on his new "miracle cure" thing.
|-

|-

|Oh hey, doc.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Since I'm gonna be stuck here anyway, and I'm still feeling the post-victory glow...
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|...I wanna get something off my chest.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|You two aren't so bad. Maybe.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|I mean, you do spew a bunch of techno-jargon at me. And keep me cooped up in bed all the time.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|And, uh, make me eat yogurt and weird vegetable mush.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|But...at the end of the day...I know you're just trying to help.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Sorry if I gave you a rough time. Or something.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Not at all! We're just here to do right by you, no matter what. Even on the days when being here isn't so fun.

|Well, from now on, I'll try not make your life a livin' hell, haha. I promise.

|{{Sprite/Janitor}} Now, I'll be honest with ya, I was tempted to join the team myself.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} I've got a real mean arm. I could see myself pitching.

[Verse 1]
To all my fans (To all the fans)
I tried my best but things are tough
I'm out of luck (You're out of luck)
My joints are torn, I can't hold on

Everybody believes there must be
Something wrong with me,
To stay this way
But my dreams don't stop,
So I'll keep holding on

[Verse 2]
The air is still
But there's no peace inside this place
Fans lose their cool
My team moves on, I've been replaced
I'm fed up with waiting
My body is fading
I'm sick of your sympathy

[Outro]
I'm stepping away
From all my regrets of yesterday
I'm more than my dreams
It's time to move on
To all of my friends, I'm holding on

拼尽全力（拼尽全力）
坚持到底，还是失败
好运耗尽（好运耗尽）
浑身伤痛，默默忍耐
每个人都说我还不如
不如就这样悄悄离开

看台依旧
但欢呼已变成责怪

理所当然，不再被爱

那遗憾已是昨日风光
不被梦捆绑
我不再彷徨

== History ==
* Before the 1.0 release, a dialog was present before playing the level, instructing the user to disable Steam Overlay as indicated:
::{|
|-
|
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}} Before we continue, we should-
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}} Sorry, hold on. My phone's buzzing.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}} Hello? O-oh, okay...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}} Apparently, it's for you.
|-
|"In order to ensure optimal performance while using the Rhythm Doctor defibrillation system...
|-
|...we highly recommend that you disable your Steam Overlay before proceeding.
|-
|To disable, right-click Rhythm Doctor in your library.
|-
|Go to Properties, go to General, then disable the option labeled "Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game." Then, restart the game."

* This advisory was removed once the game was updated to allow levels with window resize to support Steam overlay.

== Trivia ==
* This level now marks Lucia's first appearance within a main story level. Prior to the Act 5 update, [[Art Exercise]] was the first and only level Lucia could be seen in, as a patient or character. This makes it one of the few Early Access levels to retroactively change the first appearance of a previously established character.
* This is the only boss stage to have a tutorial.

'''tape/stop/night''' (MD-2) is a level in Rhythm Doctor. It was included as part of the Muse Dash X Rhythm Doctor crossover event with PeroPero Games.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD6TZpDaWr8 The track] was created by Sugar&Co., composed by ANK with vocals and lyrics by kumako.

== Synopsis ==
The player treats Marija, Buro, and Rin throughout the level, with brief appearances by the [[Cockatiel]] and [[Owl]], before Richard Hugh appears later in the level and has to be treated alongside the three girls. The level starts with Buro being energetic and trying to shop around for desserts as much as she can, with Rin responding that she feels sick and that they should take a break to view the sunset. As the level ends, Buro expresses disappointment in the way their trip is going. Marija responds, stating her belief that their trip is still fun even if it isn't going as planned. After the level, Paige checks up on the three patients and inquires about their condition, to which Rin responds by hiding her chest pains, before thanking the doctors for treating their heartbeats once more. Paige attempts to get them to rest but the three of them refuse the opportunity, stating that they wish to experience an entertaining nighttime activity. Marija asks if there are any local venues they would recommend, with Paige responding by informing them of the Roller Disco. This prompts the three of them to immediately leave the hospital to attend the disco, abruptly speaking goodbye right after Paige voices her recommendation.

'''wish i could care less''' (2-1N) is a level in Rhythm Doctor. It is the Night Shift version of [[Lo-fi Hip-Hop Beats To Treat Patients To]].

It introduces [[Skipshots]].

== Synopsis ==

The player treats Cole as he sings a song about his writer's block. He sings about his lack of inspiration, his self-doubt and the unhealthy habits he's developed, where he deprives himself of pleasure and continues ignoring his friends as a result of his frustration with his writer's block. At the end of the level, Logan, Hailey, and the Samurai are all present, having listened to Cole's song. They all cheer him on and compliment his performance. After the level, Paige speaks with Cole about his writer's block, as he elaborates on it, with Paige trying her best to listen to him and help him out. However, Ian emphasizes the lack of time they have to focus in on one patient for an extended period of time. Paige reluctantly listens to Ian, as Ian bids an abrupt goodbye to Cole, telling Cole that they'll check up on him later.

Probably gonna hit that "don't save changes", again
Used to write a song a day...(Used to write a song a day)
It's just that lately my perfection's in the way, of me,
and I can't make no changes to save me...

Wish I could write more, care less,
Wish I could write more, and care less,
Write more, and care less,
and care less

Sometimes I'm angry I'm not doing better
than I thought I'd do at this point
I punish myself by depriving my health
of the things that I like until I fix this
But it doesn't really help I just get more depressed
I do even less cause I can't work when I'm stressed
And ignoring my friends, means when I'm finally done,
there'll be no one left to make this all worth it...

oh I've been thinking too much

I guess tomorrow

有时我很无力眼太高手太低渐渐地自我怀疑
和自己赌气宅家里翻过来覆过去伤身体去解决问题
但这毫无意义只是徒增我的压力
喘不过气效率压力成反比
不回朋友消息渐渐脱离了群体
没人聆听了还有什么意义

也许我想得太多

也许到明天
我还会重新来过……

* This, [[Super Battleworn Insomniac]], and [[Bitter Times]] are the only Night Shift levels thus far that are necessary for beating the main story.
* This level, [[Unsustainable Inconsolable]] and [[Corazones Viejos]] are the only night shift levels to introduce new mechanics.
* One of the app icons shown in the level is a pixelated version of the app icon for Rhythm Doctor. This may imply that Rhythm Doctor is also present in the Rhythm Doctor universe as a game.

'''Helping Hands''' (X-0) is a level in Rhythm Doctor. It is the final story level in the game, serving as a playable credits scene.

== Synopsis ==
After the events of [[Miracle Defibrillator]], nearly the entire cast game of the game gathers around in a level that serves as a playable credits screen. Through the majority of the level, the song features a voice that sings what can be interpreted as the collective thoughts of every patient residing within the hospital, expressing their positive views toward the doctors and their desire to help out in any way they can. The level flashes through nearly all of the long-term patients of the game, with a brief appearance of Ian, and a prominent appearance of Paige, where she gets the spotlight halfway through the level; a list of names can be seen flashing through the top and bottom of the screen as she runs through the hospital hallways. Then, toward the end of the level, the player focuses on treating Paige as she stands on a balcony, briefly singing and reflecting on her time at the hospital. After the level ends, the player returns to the title screen of the game.

I've been waiting for so long
I can wait a little longer
You take my pulse and now you're gone
Well, I can wait a little more

We used to have heart to hearts
But lately we're a world apart
We folks are odd but we are kind
Can we help you ease your mind?

You're up before the sun is up
You're done after it's gone
But still the work keeps piling up
Don't feel like you belong
Applause is cheap I know
Wish I could lend a hand
But I don't know much medicine
All I can give is thanks

Help me help you help us better
Make me understand
If there's a weight to share together
Take my helping hands
No one makes it on their own
Just tell me what you need from me
We share with you our meals, be sure to take our pills
Take proper care of ourselves

Feeling like you owe the world
Everything you've got
And everyone around you is
Everything you're not
You just can't get your mind off
The ones you couldn't save
The ones you couldn't save
The ones you could've saved

Feeling like you're owed nothing
Other than what you've got
And everyone around you is
Everything you're not
Eight more years of this is
More than what you could take
More than what you could take
Oh

Applause is cheap I know
So take my helping hands
Being here leaves me feeling blue
But it isn't so bad with you

[ADA PAIGE]
They've been waiting for so long
They can wait a little longer
The folks are odd but they are kind
It's nice to help around sometimes

等呀等得心好慌
不过再等等又何妨
看你匆忙来又去
再多等等又能怎样

我们也曾互诉衷肠
如今却像天各一方
不知古怪的我和他
能否安慰你心房

你黎明前开始忙碌
日落依然奔忙
而每一秒新的责任
又压上你肩膀

想为你做很多
不仅仅是夸奖
可我不懂医学药理
只有谢意一腔

齐心协力共同担当
教我不彷徨
请允许我来一起面对
雨雪和风霜

不必一个人逞强
什么要求你尽管讲
好好配合检查
按时把药服下
保重自己我们听话

你总觉得你要为整个世界负责
你总以为自己是最卑微的一个
你总是会想起那些
你救不回的人
你救不回的人
你能救回的人

你总觉得没有人需要为你负责
你总以为自己是最卑微的一个
再这样过八年
你还能再坚持吗
还能再坚持吗
喔……

夸奖太无力了
好想帮你更多
本来医院是孤单的
可有你就不一样了

== History ==
* In the Act 5 update, the balcony seen at the end of the level was updated, now reflecting the one present within [[Dreams Don't Stop]]. It features a more polished design for the background art, a soccer net visible from the left, and baseballs strewn over the floor.
** The background was changed back to the regular balcony after the 1.0 update.

== Trivia ==
*This is the first level to have the rank text be the same for every letter rank. This is likely done for emotional effect, as the game seeks to thank the player for having played through the story, regardless of their performance on this particular level. The only other level to do this is [[theme of really spooky bird]].

'''One Slip Too Late''' (5-1N) is a level in Rhythm Doctor. It is the Night Shift version of [[Lucky Break]].

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNpVVk3BAZw The track] was created by fizzd.

== Synopsis ==
The intern treats Lucky, sitting alone in the physiotherapy ward as he sings and recounts his days of being a baseball star. The Miner makes a brief appearance near the start of the level, seemingly returning from the train. The level takes the player through various set pieces, some abstract, some literal, with Logan and Hailey joining in to sing their praises about Lucky. The level then displays Lucky as being enjoyed on a TV screen by Logan, Hailey, the Samurai, Cole, and potentially the hospital staff, before ending shortly after. After the level, Lucky elaborates on the circumstances that led him to performing outside his expected role as a pitcher, and the situation that caused his rotator cuff to be torn. He then thanks the Samurai for listening to him, to which he replies by happily stating, "Anytime."

== Gameplay ==
=== 2-player mode ===
Player 1 treats Lucky on the field, [[Logan]], and [[Miner]]. Player 2 treats Lucky in the hospital, Lucky on the field (during the first part of each chorus), and [[Hailey]].

During the namedrop section, player 2 has an additional classic beat pattern on Lucky on the field while player 1 plays the squareshots and triangleshots. This is the first time a patient is shown to have two ECGs coming out of the same sprite.

|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|I knew I had what it took to be a homerun hitter.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Coach said no. I pushed back, trained hard, and proved him wrong.
|-

|Once he gave me a chance at bat...I became a star. Until I finally pushed my body past its breaking point.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|I insisted on pitching the full game. At bat, I was driving in runs.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Coach thinks I'm a show-off, and wanted me off the field. But at the bottom of the ninth, I knew we'd lose if we weren't perfect.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|My body was screaming at me to stop, but I pushed on. Just needed one homerun to end it.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|I nailed it. But a second later, I felt agonizing pain.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|I kept a smile on, for the crowd, long enough to round the bases. After that, I don't remember a thing.

|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Anyway, sorry for rambling. Thanks for, uh...being such a good listener.

|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|I was watching that game. The one where Lucky got hurt.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|It was awful. Thankfully, they cut to commercial, so the camera didn't hang on him too long.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|Back in the day, Lucky stuck to pitching. But he was one of those rare ones...a player who's a star on the mound AND at the plate.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|He started hitting homers and took the Scales out of their rut.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|Sadly...his shoulder gave out. I hear that's what happens after all the wear-and-tear of pitching.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|I wish I could say something to cheer him up, but it doesn't look like he wants an old fan's pity.

[Verse 1]
[LUCKY]
Won the game, made my name, fifteen minutes worth of fame
Then it came, all the pain. Is it over? What a shame
Too tough, too rough on my rotator cuff
Low weights, rehab, I've had enough

[LUCKY]
Take me back to my dreams
Before the sun set on me
When the crowd went wild
Now when they call my name
All my pride has turned to shame
''(They can't see me in this state)''
One slip, too late, three strikes, for me
I've always been the one you could count on
So who will take my place
Now I'm gone

But they're not wearing his gloves

Close my eyes, count to ten,
Could you take me back to then...

'''One Shift More''' (3-X) is a level in Rhythm Doctor.

It is the third boss level in the game. It is the first time that [[Paige]] is a treatable patient; it is also the first time that the player themself has to treat Mr. Stevenson.

== Synopsis ==

The player treats Paige, Mr. & Mrs. Stevenson, and Richard Hugh through their respective heart problems. Each patient has a singing role in the level. At the start of the level, Paige attempts to do a proper check-up of Mr. Stevenson. Her pager goes off right as she tries to resolve the miscommunication issue that has prevented Mr. Stevenson from talking to his wife, leaving the issue unresolved. This leads into both Stevensons singing about the waiting time they've had to endure in order to get help, remaining unable to see each other. Paige sings about being overworked and the miscommunication she's been having. Finally, Richard Hugh sings cynically about doctors, expressing his negative views on them, and his belief that they should receive pay cuts. Near the end of the level, Paige sings about the interpersonal struggles she has faced in pursuing her studies and in pursuing her career as a doctor, lamenting the missed opportunities to catch up with her friends, emphasizing that her patients have been "waiting for so long."

The level ends with Ian returning, an hour late to handover. Paige is initially upset until she hears Ian explain that his mother had an episode, and that he attempted to call the hospital to let Paige know of the delay, but that this news did not seem to reach Paige. Paige, taken aback, apologizes and expresses sympathy, as Ian expresses gratitude for her covering his shift. The two then discuss the circumstances around Mr. Stevenson's injury, as he looks at a framed photo of his wife, with a sad expression, still unable to communicate with her. After the level, Ian expresses gratitude toward the player and Paige, recommending that she take a break. Paige then thanks the intern, letting them know that she'll drop by the vending machine whenever they're ready.

[Verse 1]
[MR. STEVENSON]
I've been waiting for so long,
Waiting for my doctor to come,
These aches been going on for days now,
And I'm feeling slightly down

[PAGER]
Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep!
Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep!

[Verse 2]
[ADA PAIGE]
I've been working night and day
Haven't had a wink of sleep
But they've been waiting for so long
(I've been waiting for so long!)
And I'm the one on-call this week

[BOTH]
Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart beat, heart,
Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart beat, heart,

[ADA PAIGE, SPOKEN]
Good morning Mr. Stevenson, my name is Dr Paige,
And I'm the consultant on call today
How are you?

[MR. STEVENSON, SPOKEN]
Well I'm better, thank you, but it still hurts when I move

[ADA PAIGE, SPOKEN]
Understandably so -
You might be getting pressure sores,
Has the nurse come to change your position?

[MR. STEVENSON, SPOKEN]
No, not since the morning

[ADA PAIGE, SPOKEN]
Oh dear, we'll get her here
The x-ray has come in now, and there is good news sir!
You haven't broken your tailbone and your hip is intact

[MR. STEVENSON, SPOKEN]
Oh thank heavens, I don't know why I let myself fall-

[ADA PAIGE, SPOKEN]
Don't worry it happens to the best of us
But more importantly, how are you feeling?

[MR. STEVENSON, SPOKEN]
I-I'm okay... but

[ADA PAIGE, SPOKEN]
Everything well at home?

[MR. STEVENSON, SPOKEN]
I-I-I think so.. but

[ADA PAIGE, SPOKEN]
Great, we'll get you discharged tomorrow then

[MR. STEVENSON, SPOKEN]
But-

[ADA PAIGE, SPOKEN]
Is there anything else, sir?

[MR. STEVENSON, SPOKEN]
Well y-yes... my- my-my wife hasn't called since yesterday..
We always talk once a day, and-

[ADA PAIGE, SPOKEN]
Okay. Yes. Um, of course, we will get the nurse to call her up and see

[PAGER]
Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep!

[ADA PAIGE, SPOKEN]
If she's --
Oh dear

[ADA PAIGE]
There my pager goes again!

早上好史蒂文森先生，我是佩奇医生，今天呢由我来当班，所以你感觉还好吗？

【史蒂文森先生】
……呃，我好点了，可是动的时候还是会有点疼。

【佩奇】
嗯这也是正常的——可能躺太久了有压疮，护士有来给你翻过身吗？

【史蒂文森先生】
没有，就早上来过一次。

【佩奇】
哎呀，那我们赶紧让她过来。哎，X光片刚出来了，还是有好消息的！您的尾骨没有骨折，髋骨也很完好。

【史蒂文森先生】
啊！那真是谢天谢地啊。我真不知道自己怎么会就这样摔了一跤的……

【佩奇】
可别这么说，摔跤还是常见的，总之，现在好点了吗？

【史蒂文森先生】
还——还挺好的——

【佩奇】
家里也没事吧？

【史蒂文森先生】
应该没有，但是——

【佩奇】
那好，明天您就可以出院了。

【史蒂文森先生】
可是——

【佩奇】
哎，还有什么问题吗？

【史蒂文森先生】
嗯……就是我老伴儿，昨天起就没给我打电话了……本来是每天都打的——

【佩奇】
啊，这样啊。好，让护士去联系她一下，看她是不是——
唉。

【佩奇】
休息吧好好养伤

【史蒂文森先生】
可我老伴那边怎样……

【史蒂文森太太】
我的老伴也在医院！

【佩奇】
应该只是忘了打电话吧！别多想！

【理查德·休】
医生嘛就会瞎讲！

【史蒂文森太太】
有谁能来帮帮我吗？

嘿嘿！不好意思艾达，我迟到了……不——不好意思我妈病情又发作了，护工来晚了，我只能先陪着她。我之前给医院打过电话，倒要他们跟你说一下，听起来没能通知到你啊……

啊，那应该是他们忘了说……那个……你……你还好吧。

【伊恩】
没事的，谢谢你，真麻烦你了，病人们那边没有太麻烦你吧？

【佩奇】
……没，没，都挺好的。对，对了，那个史蒂文森先生昨天摔了一跤，他——现在状况还好，但是现在不清楚是意外跌倒，还是因为疾病或者晕厥——

【伊恩】
他不记得了？

【佩奇】
嗯，不过X光片没问题。

【伊恩】
病人有房颤史吗？

【佩奇】
病史上没记录。

【伊恩】
呼吸性肺炎呢？

肺部也没有问题。

'''All The Times''' (2-X) is a level in Rhythm Doctor.

It is the second boss level in the game. It introduces [[Window Dance]].

== Synopsis ==
The player treats Cole and Nicole through their chest pains, as they remain in their separate rooms. Like the prior boss level, the Connectifia Abortus virus is present and actively interferes in the level. Through the level, Cole and Nicole sing about each other, making lyrical references toward their addictions and their desire to see each other. Motivated by a strong emotional realization that strikes them both, Cole abruptly leaves his room, running down the hall in a dash to go see Nicole. The level ends with him barging into the cafe, panting out of exhaustion, as she looks at him in surprise. He then lifts up his head, smiling.

After the level, Cole asks for extra time to stay with Nicole as she closes up shop, to which Paige readily obliges. He then remarks that the doctors shouldn't worry about him, claiming that he's found a way to make music without the use of caffeine, hinting that Nicole is his newfound inspiration. Ian then runs in, out of breath, telling the player and Paige that the virus had once again appeared, but that the player had already taken care of both patients before he could inform them. Paige then instructs the player to move back to the Main Ward, saying that they'll check up on Cole and Nicole another day.

<poem style="background-color: #faf7ed; padding: 1em;">
[Verse 1]
I just can't refrain
Bitterness so quaint
One more shot, never again
All the excuses, always the same
All the times, I tried
I just couldn't get over you
I just cannot hide
The satisfaction you can brew
One more sip embraced
My worries disappear for a while
Then it all comes... comes kicking in

[Chorus]
(Woo!)
(Let's go!)
(Woo!)
(Drop it!)
(Aaaah!)

[Verse 2]
They tell me it's alright
They say that I'll get through
But however hard that I try
I just cannot get over you
When it all comes... kicking in again

[Chorus]
(Woo!)
(Yeah!)
(Woo!)
(Drop it!)
(Aaaah!)

[Bridge]
Now I'm shaken, stirred, awakened
It's taken this pain, to realize the truth
You have been through
All the things I've been through
You can be my muse
I'll write these songs for you
Now I'm shaken, stirred, awakened
It's taken this pain, to realize the truth
So take the craving, take away the craving
Please take away the craving from me

[Verse 3]
I... can't stay away from you
I... I'll make my way to you
No more tries and no more nights
Will keep me away from you
I've finally found, in you, the key to set me free
At least I hope you will be
</poem>

[段]
我怎么抵抗
那苦涩欲望
再一杯让我释放
熟悉的借口我已投降
败在你主场
再次坠入你的魔障
我怎么遗忘
你深邃而醉人的芳香
再度尝一口
让你的幸福驱散忧伤
你的诱惑我来品尝

[合唱]
(Woo!)
(Yeah!)
(Woo!)
(Drop it!)
(Aaaah!)

[段]
谁说无关紧要
谁说全都会好
可我挣扎过努力过
你依旧让我无处可逃
你的诱惑是我的毒药

[合唱]
(Woo!)
(Yeah!)
(Woo!)
(Drop it!)
(Aaaah!)

[过门]
磨碎幻影滴落清醒
是这种阵痛为你我正名
你也曾经经历这些曾经
为你写首歌是我给你崇敬
磨碎幻影滴落清醒
是这种阵痛为你我正名
不要再憧憬不要再憧憬
快按住我那憧憬的心

[副歌]
我
要怎样把你戒掉
不
如回头向你奔跑
不再挣扎不再苦熬
你永远是我的宝
你就是我自由又永远给我希望
但愿是真的这样
</poem>

== History ==
* The original version of this level and song was incomplete. Initially, the level did not continue after the second verse, abruptly ending soon after. A full version of the level and song would be present upon the game's Steam release.

== Trivia ==
* The final beat of this level is heart-shaped. This has no difference in gameplay and is simply meant to signify the strong emotions Cole is feeling toward Nicole.
* The janitor's dialogue mentions "that hoodie dude and coffee girl [were] singing at each other across the hall." Additionally, the fail dialogue mentions explicitly that Cole and Nicole are singing together. This confirms that the song for 2-X is, in-universe, being sung by the two of them.
* Technically, this is the first level to introduce the player treating more than one patient at the same time. However, Nicole and Cole's heartbeats are synced on the exact same beat, so there is no difference in terms of actual gameplay. As such, this level does not introduce juggling multiple rows of different heartbeats.
* The voice clip "Let's go!" used in the song is sampled from the easter egg at the end of [[One Shift More]].
