|Good morning!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Hey, it took a few weeks, but I finally finished something I was working on for a while!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|I've expanded the rhythm internship program!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Since we're, uh...more understaffed than ever...I figured this could help the hospital out.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|I've started reaching out for more interns who can work remotely.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Rhythm Nurses...Rhythm Counselors...even Rhythm Security Guards!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|So long as someone has a computer and an internet connection, they can take a job here. Just like you.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|I know it's not ideal, but...ever since Ada left...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|The few of us left here got saddled with a bunch of new responsibilities, running up and down the halls.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|And it doesn't seem like the hospital is going to start hiring again any time soon...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|...so this was the best solution I could come up with!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|I've been working on the defibrillator to figure out why we haven't made any progress with Mark yet.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|And when I'm not doing that, Edega keeps pushing me to make progress on his "Miracle Defibrillator" machine, whatever that's supposed to do.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|I'm exhausted. On top of all that, even at home I've been staying up all night working on something that will-
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Whatever, I'm just rambling now! You know how busy it is here. It's time to try out the new treatment on Mark!
|-

|Let's go check on him in the Medical Records Room before I pass out or something.
|-

''If all of the notes in the ending sequence of 6-X were missed:''
{|
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Good morning!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=notepad}}
|We've been able to keep Mark stable and comfortable for a while, but still no progress on his condition.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Today might be different, though! Ian said something about a new feature for the defibrillator.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Hopefully this new one will be more effective. Your last treatment didn't seem to solve anything.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=yoyo}}
|Anyway, what have you been up to?
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|...
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Whoops. My reflex to try to make small-talk is unstoppable, apparently.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I'll just talk about myself, then.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=yoyo}}
|I saw a movie the other night!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|It's been forever since I've managed to find time to do anything.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I wanted to go with a friend, but our schedules never line up.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|So I went alone, but... what are the chances, I saw Logan and Hailey there!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=yoyo}}
|It was cute. Must have been their first date!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Bizzare movie choice, though. It was one of those prestiege horror flicks, with all the award buzz.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I had to keep my eyes closed half the time. Hopefully they had more fun!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Anyway, let's go help Mark, shall we?
|-
|}
|-|Tutorial=

{|
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=eplaining}}
|Hi! Before we start, I gotta introduce you to the new defibrillator.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Check it out, the Rhythm Defibrillator version 0.8.4!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Okay, so...yeah, it basically looks the same.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|But feel it!!! I swapped them all out to have authentic Japanese arcade buttons!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|They have a new glossy exterior, one millimeter of pushback travel, and are durable for up to five million lifetime presses!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|And, uh...it's also fitted with a new treatment that will save Mr. Booker's life. That too.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|The old defibrillator seemed like it was ineffective at treating his symptoms. It was strange.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|So I came up with this new treatment.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|There's still a lot of research I need to do about how rhythm treatment works, how it can be most effective...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|...but Edega keeps getting me sidetracked with all his demands.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|He keeps pushing me to make it into this perfect "Miracle Defibrillator." It's not very realistic.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|He thinks we're going to be able to "rebuild cells from scratch" or something.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Speaking of which, you'd think he'd be here to check out the improvements, but I haven't seen him.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|...it's probably for the best.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Oh! I, uh...forgot you were here. Mark, right?
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|It just means the accommodation I asked for is being honored. At least he can do that right.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Besides, I, uh, prefer the quiet. It's giving me a chance to catch up on my backlog.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Speaking of which...listen, intern. I've been reading up on this "rhythm treatment" stuff.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|The principles of it are interesting. I think I have an idea of how you can apply it to my condition.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Let's test it out on myself again.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Uhh...usually we've got a guy for that, he's like this farmer who-
|-
|}
::''Single-Player'':
::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I'll be getting it in high doses in a minute, I might as well know what I'm getting into.
|-
|}
::''Two-Player'':
::{|
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Oh, there he is!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|This is the guy you test things on? What's he being treated for?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Everything, to be honest.
|-
|}
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Now, according to the documentation, you'll see my pulse slide across the screen just like when you've performed "Supraventricular Tachycardia Beats."
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|(Where did he...wait, that's just my notebook!)
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|As with any other "SVT Beat", you'll hear a pulse and defibrillate on the second beat.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Except...when you hear this special cue...
|-
|
|Zoop!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|...you'll hold the beat instead of pressing, up until when the next 'Get' cue would be.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|So, to be clear...you're holding the beats, not tapping them. Got it?
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|It says "If the intern doesn't remember, tell them it's like that time with the buff guy on the old-timey train." That mean anything to you?
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Now, as much as I'd love to flip through this cover-to-cover...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Hey!!!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|...let's practice.
|} 
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|That's your cue! Hold the next beat!
|} 
::''Any held beats missed:''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I think we should try that again.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|When you hear the cue, remember to hold down the next beat!
|-
|}
::::''Any held beats missed again:''
::::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Hmm...we'll try again. It's tough, but you'll get it.
|-
|}
::''Both held beats hit eventually:''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Excellent! Looks like you've got it!
|-
|}
::''Both held beats hit on first try:''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Wow. It's like you were born for this.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Let's try some faster beats, then.
|-
|}
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|There's a note in here with like a hundred circles around it, it says "DON'T PANIC, JUST FOLLOW THE RHYTHM OF GET AND SET."
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|But you probably knew that already.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Good luck!
|} 
::''Some misses:''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|That... could have gone better.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Another time, then!
|-
|}
::''Most beats hit:''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Well done!
|}
::''All beats hit on first try:''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|You're way too good at this...
|-
|}
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|That should be everything you need to know.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Hey, you forgot what I wrote in the corner!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|...the doodle of your MMO character?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Th-The other thing!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Oh right!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|While you're holding a held beat, any beats from other patients nearby will be automatically caught!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|So if you see a beat that will overlap with it, just keep holding!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark|expr=explaining}}
|Let's try it!
|} 
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark|expr=explaining}}
|Great work, intern! You must be getting paid the big bucks.
|}
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Well, that was fun. Here's your notebook back, by the way.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Thanks. Well...I guess that handles the tutorial?
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Hey, am I allowed to read to keep my mind off things while receiving the treatment? I've got a book club meeting coming up.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Reading would be the most normal thing any patient has done while we've defibrillated.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Alright, good luck!

|Yes. Straight out of school.
|-

|I think I was around your age.
|-

|Gabe and I graduated together. We did our rotations together.
|-

|I considered him a friend.

|(I've never even considered Edega having friends. Wow.)

Outro
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|He expected more and more from me...until he pushed me past my breaking point.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I felt hollow, like I couldn't muster the energy to help him. Or help anyone, really.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|When I told him I was quitting medicine altogether...
|-

|...it was like he pretended I never existed.

|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Hm. Seems like it's stabilised for now.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark|expr=explaining}}
|Your new treatment idea must have worked. Thanks.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|N-no problem...
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Glad we could help!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|But wait, you're saying the reason you asked for that accommodation...
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|...is because you used to be friends?
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=baffled}}
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Yeah. It's better if...I don't hear his voice.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I burnt out. Harder than I thought I could ever burn out on anything.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|It wasn't just that I didn't want to be a doctor. I didn't want to do anything anymore. I felt lost.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|There were days where I fell asleep and wished I would never wake up.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|That was when the chronic condition set in. And when Gabe stopped talking to me.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|After long enough, I was fine with it. I didn't want to run into him either.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|When I was a little kid, I used to bury my nose in books when I wanted to shut the world out.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I guess old habits don't change.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|If I collect more and more books, then there's always something new to read. Something new to distract me.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I tried to forget my old career and ignore what it did to my body for as long as I could.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark|expr=explaining}}
|Believe me, I wouldn't step foot back in this place unless my life was literally on the line.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I'm in your care now. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you figure something out.
|}

''If Paige was fired:''
{|
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Alright! New defibrillator is working just fine. Things are finally getting under control.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|What's next? Let me check if the Rhythm Nurse intern added anything to my calendar...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|...wait...oh no. I completely forgot about the rehab meetings.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Ada was doing daily meetings to check in on Cole and Nicole on their recoveries...I, uh, haven't done a single one since she left.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Whoops.
|-

|Aghhh...t-this is gonna be so awkward, but I guess I should run by their rooms and see-

|Ian. I asked for a progress report on the Miracle Defibrillator. Come with me.
|-

|...y-yes sir. I'll be there.

|-

|I remember him! The kind of guy that would really light this place up with his smile.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|That time between Mark quitting and Ada joining... those were The Dark Ages for sure.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|I was just talking to him this morning and he remembered me too!
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|We used to trade books back and forth. He'd make me read some fancy-pants classic literature and I'd make him read some sports history.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|I can't remember a single word of Pilgrim's Progress or Don Quixote, but I'll never forget how excited he was to give them to me.

== Trivia ==
*If you have a S- rank or higher at the part where [[Edega]] pretended [[Mark]] never existed, he will look away from [[Edega]] and leave.
**Else, [[Mark]] will dissapear.
***This could mean that the S-rank cutscene is [[Mark]]'s perspective, while any other rank's cutscene is [[Edega]]'s mind.

|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=eplaining}}
|Hi! Before we start, I gotta introduce you to the new defibrillator.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Check it out, the Rhythm Defibrillator version 0.8.4!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Okay, so...yeah, it basically looks the same.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|But feel it!!! I swapped them all out to have authentic Japanese arcade buttons!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|They have a new glossy exterior, one millimeter of pushback travel, and are durable for up to five million lifetime presses!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|And, uh...it's also fitted with a new treatment that will save Mr. Booker's life. That too.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|The old defibrillator seemed like it was ineffective at treating his symptoms. It was strange.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|So I came up with this new treatment.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|There's still a lot of research I need to do about how rhythm treatment works, how it can be most effective...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|...but Edega keeps getting me sidetracked with all his demands.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|He keeps pushing me to make it into this perfect "Miracle Defibrillator." It's not very realistic.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|He thinks we're going to be able to "rebuild cells from scratch" or something.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Speaking of which, you'd think he'd be here to check out the improvements, but I haven't seen him.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|...it's probably for the best.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Oh! I, uh...forgot you were here. Mark, right?
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|It just means the accommodation I asked for is being honored. At least he can do that right.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Besides, I, uh, prefer the quiet. It's giving me a chance to catch up on my backlog.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Speaking of which...listen, intern. I've been reading up on this "rhythm treatment" stuff.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|The principles of it are interesting. I think I have an idea of how you can apply it to my condition.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Let's test it out on myself again.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Uhh...usually we've got a guy for that, he's like this farmer who-

|Oh, there he is!

|This is the guy you test things on? What's he being treated for?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Everything, to be honest.
|-
|}
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Now, according to the documentation, you'll see my pulse slide across the screen just like when you've performed "Supraventricular Tachycardia Beats."
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|(Where did he...wait, that's just my notebook!)
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|As with any other "SVT Beat", you'll hear a pulse and defibrillate on the second beat.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Except...when you hear this special cue...
|-
|
|Zoop!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|...you'll hold the beat instead of pressing, up until when the next 'Get' cue would be.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|So, to be clear...you're holding the beats, not tapping them. Got it?
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|It says "If the intern doesn't remember, tell them it's like that time with the buff guy on the old-timey train." That mean anything to you?

|Th-The other thing!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Oh right!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|While you're holding a held beat, any beats from other patients nearby will be automatically caught!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|So if you see a beat that will overlap with it, just keep holding!
|-

|Let's try it!

{|

|Great work, intern! You must be getting paid the big bucks.

{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Well, that was fun. Here's your notebook back, by the way.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Thanks. Well...I guess that handles the tutorial?
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Hey, am I allowed to read to keep my mind off things while receiving the treatment? I've got a book club meeting coming up.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Reading would be the most normal thing any patient has done while we've defibrillated.

Outro

|N-no problem...

|Glad we could help!
|-

|But wait, you're saying the reason you asked for that accommodation...
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|...is because you used to be friends?
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=baffled}}
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Yeah. It's better if...I don't hear his voice.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I burnt out. Harder than I thought I could ever burn out on anything.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|It wasn't just that I didn't want to be a doctor. I didn't want to do anything anymore. I felt lost.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|There were days where I fell asleep and wished I would never wake up.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|That was when the chronic condition set in. And when Gabe stopped talking to me.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|After long enough, I was fine with it. I didn't want to run into him either.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|When I was a little kid, I used to bury my nose in books when I wanted to shut the world out.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I guess old habits don't change.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|If I collect more and more books, then there's always something new to read. Something new to distract me.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I tried to forget my old career and ignore what it did to my body for as long as I could.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark|expr=explaining}}
|Believe me, I wouldn't step foot back in this place unless my life was literally on the line.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I'm in your care now. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you figure something out.

== Trivia ==
*If you have a S- rank or higher at the part where [[Edega]] pretended [[Mark]] never existed, he will look away from [[Edega]] and leave.
**Else, [[Mark]] will dissapear.
***This could mean that the S-rank cutscene is [[Mark]]'s perspective, while any other
rank's cutscene is [[Edega]]'s mind.

|Good morning!

|Hey, it took a few weeks, but I finally finished something I was working on for a while!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|I've expanded the rhythm internship program!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Since we're, uh...more understaffed than ever...I figured this could help the hospital out.
|-

|I've started reaching out for more interns who can work remotely.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Rhythm Nurses...Rhythm Counselors...even Rhythm Security Guards!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|So long as someone has a computer and an internet connection, they can take a job here. Just like you.

|I know it's not ideal, but...ever since Ada left...

|And it doesn't seem like the hospital is going to start hiring again any time soon...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|...so this was the best solution I could come up with!

{|
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Good morning!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Hey, it took a few weeks, but I finally finished something I was working on for a while!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|I've expanded the rhythm internship program!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Since we're, uh...more understaffed than ever...I figured this could help the hospital out.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|I've started reaching out for more interns who can work remotely.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Rhythm Nurses...Rhythm Counselors...even Rhythm Security Guards!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|So long as someone has a computer and an internet connection, they can take a job here. Just like you.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|I know it's not ideal, but...ever since Ada left...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|The few of us left here got saddled with a bunch of new responsibilities, running up and down the halls.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|And it doesn't seem like the hospital is going to start hiring again any time soon...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|...so this was the best solution I could come up with!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|I've been working on the defibrillator to figure out why we haven't made any progress with Mark yet.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|And when I'm not doing that, Edega keeps pushing me to make progress on his "Miracle Defibrillator" machine, whatever that's supposed to do.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|I'm exhausted. On top of all that, even at home I've been staying up all night working on something that will-
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Whatever, I'm just rambling now! You know how busy it is here. It's time to try out the new treatment on Mark!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=dizzy}}
|Let's go check on him in the Medical Records Room before I pass out or something.
|-
|}
''If all of the notes in the ending sequence of 6-X were missed:''
{|
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Good morning!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=notepad}}
|We've been able to keep Mark stable and comfortable for a while, but still no progress on his condition.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Today might be different, though! Ian said something about a new feature for the defibrillator.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Hopefully this new one will be more effective. Your last treatment didn't seem to solve anything.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=yoyo}}
|Anyway, what have you been up to?
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|...
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Whoops. My reflex to try to make small-talk is unstoppable, apparently.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I'll just talk about myself, then.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=yoyo}}
|I saw a movie the other night!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|It's been forever since I've managed to find time to do anything.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I wanted to go with a friend, but our schedules never line up.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|So I went alone, but... what are the chances, I saw Logan and Hailey there!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=yoyo}}
|It was cute. Must have been their first date!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Bizzare movie choice, though. It was one of those prestiege horror flicks, with all the award buzz.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I had to keep my eyes closed half the time. Hopefully they had more fun!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Anyway, let's go help Mark, shall we?
|-
|}
|-|Tutorial=

{|
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=eplaining}}
|Hi! Before we start, I gotta introduce you to the new defibrillator.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Check it out, the Rhythm Defibrillator version 0.8.4!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Okay, so...yeah, it basically looks the same.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|But feel it!!! I swapped them all out to have authentic Japanese arcade buttons!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|They have a new glossy exterior, one millimeter of pushback travel, and are durable for up to five million lifetime presses!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|And, uh...it's also fitted with a new treatment that will save Mr. Booker's life. That too.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|The old defibrillator seemed like it was ineffective at treating his symptoms. It was strange.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|So I came up with this new treatment.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|There's still a lot of research I need to do about how rhythm treatment works, how it can be most effective...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|...but Edega keeps getting me sidetracked with all his demands.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|He keeps pushing me to make it into this perfect "Miracle Defibrillator." It's not very realistic.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|He thinks we're going to be able to "rebuild cells from scratch" or something.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Speaking of which, you'd think he'd be here to check out the improvements, but I haven't seen him.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|...it's probably for the best.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Oh! I, uh...forgot you were here. Mark, right?
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|It just means the accommodation I asked for is being honored. At least he can do that right.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Besides, I, uh, prefer the quiet. It's giving me a chance to catch up on my backlog.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Speaking of which...listen, intern. I've been reading up on this "rhythm treatment" stuff.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|The principles of it are interesting. I think I have an idea of how you can apply it to my condition.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Let's test it out on myself again.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Uhh...usually we've got a guy for that, he's like this farmer who-
|-
|}
::''Single-Player'':
::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I'll be getting it in high doses in a minute, I might as well know what I'm getting into.
|-
|}
::''Two-Player'':
::{|
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Oh, there he is!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|This is the guy you test things on? What's he being treated for?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Everything, to be honest.
|-
|}
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Now, according to the documentation, you'll see my pulse slide across the screen just like when you've performed "Supraventricular Tachycardia Beats."
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|(Where did he...wait, that's just my notebook!)
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|As with any other "SVT Beat", you'll hear a pulse and defibrillate on the second beat.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Except...when you hear this special cue...
|-
|
|Zoop!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|...you'll hold the beat instead of pressing, up until when the next 'Get' cue would be.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|So, to be clear...you're holding the beats, not tapping them. Got it?
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|It says "If the intern doesn't remember, tell them it's like that time with the buff guy on the old-timey train." That mean anything to you?
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Now, as much as I'd love to flip through this cover-to-cover...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Hey!!!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|...let's practice.
|} 
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|That's your cue! Hold the next beat!
|} 
::''Any held beats missed:''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I think we should try that again.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|When you hear the cue, remember to hold down the next beat!
|-
|}
::::''Any held beats missed again:''
::::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Hmm...we'll try again. It's tough, but you'll get it.
|-
|}
::''Both held beats hit eventually:''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Excellent! Looks like you've got it!
|-
|}
::''Both held beats hit on first try:''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Wow. It's like you were born for this.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Let's try some faster beats, then.
|-
|}
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|There's a note in here with like a hundred circles around it, it says "DON'T PANIC, JUST FOLLOW THE RHYTHM OF GET AND SET."
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|But you probably knew that already.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Good luck!
|} 
::''Some misses:''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|That... could have gone better.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Another time, then!
|-
|}
::''Most beats hit:''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Well done!
|}
::''All beats hit on first try:''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|You're way too good at this...
|-
|}
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|That should be everything you need to know.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Hey, you forgot what I wrote in the corner!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|...the doodle of your MMO character?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Th-The other thing!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Oh right!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|While you're holding a held beat, any beats from other patients nearby will be automatically caught!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|So if you see a beat that will overlap with it, just keep holding!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark|expr=explaining}}
|Let's try it!
|} 
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark|expr=explaining}}
|Great work, intern! You must be getting paid the big bucks.

'''Blurred''' is a level in Rhythm Doctor. It is also the first and only non-boss level of Act 7.

This level introduces [[Holdshots]] and ECG Shortening (only the former is tutorialized), and expands both [[Mark]] and [[Edega|Edega's]] story, by revealing they worked together.

The track is made by SKARBA, originally as a personal project.

|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Good morning!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Hey, it took a few weeks, but I finally finished something I was working on for a while!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|I've expanded the rhythm internship program!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Since we're, uh...more understaffed than ever...I figured this could help the hospital out.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|I've started reaching out for more interns who can work remotely.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Rhythm Nurses...Rhythm Counselors...even Rhythm Security Guards!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|So long as someone has a computer and an internet connection, they can take a job here. Just like you.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|I know it's not ideal, but...ever since Ada left...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|The few of us left here got saddled with a bunch of new responsibilities, running up and down the halls.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|And it doesn't seem like the hospital is going to start hiring again any time soon...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|...so this was the best solution I could come up with!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|I've been working on the defibrillator to figure out why we haven't made any progress with Mark yet.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|And when I'm not doing that, Edega keeps pushing me to make progress on his "Miracle Defibrillator" machine, whatever that's supposed to do.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|I'm exhausted. On top of all that, even at home I've been staying up all night working on something that will-
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Whatever, I'm just rambling now! You know how busy it is here. It's time to try out the new treatment on Mark!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=dizzy}}
|Let's go check on him in the Medical Records Room before I pass out or something.
|-
|}
''If all of the notes in the ending sequence of 6-X were missed:''
{|
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Good morning!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=notepad}}
|We've been able to keep Mark stable and comfortable for a while, but still no progress on his condition.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Today might be different, though! Ian said something about a new feature for the defibrillator.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Hopefully this new one will be more effective. Your last treatment didn't seem to solve anything.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=yoyo}}
|Anyway, what have you been up to?
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|...
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Whoops. My reflex to try to make small-talk is unstoppable, apparently.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I'll just talk about myself, then.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=yoyo}}
|I saw a movie the other night!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|It's been forever since I've managed to find time to do anything.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I wanted to go with a friend, but our schedules never line up.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|So I went alone, but... what are the chances, I saw Logan and Hailey there!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=yoyo}}
|It was cute. Must have been their first date!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Bizzare movie choice, though. It was one of those prestiege horror flicks, with all the award buzz.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I had to keep my eyes closed half the time. Hopefully they had more fun!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Anyway, let's go help Mark, shall we?
|-
|}
|-|Tutorial=

{|
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=eplaining}}
|Hi! Before we start, I gotta introduce you to the new defibrillator.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Check it out, the Rhythm Defibrillator version 0.8.4!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Okay, so...yeah, it basically looks the same.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|But feel it!!! I swapped them all out to have authentic Japanese arcade buttons!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|They have a new glossy exterior, one millimeter of pushback travel, and are durable for up to five million lifetime presses!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|And, uh...it's also fitted with a new treatment that will save Mr. Booker's life. That too.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|The old defibrillator seemed like it was ineffective at treating his symptoms. It was strange.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|So I came up with this new treatment.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|There's still a lot of research I need to do about how rhythm treatment works, how it can be most effective...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|...but Edega keeps getting me sidetracked with all his demands.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|He keeps pushing me to make it into this perfect "Miracle Defibrillator." It's not very realistic.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|He thinks we're going to be able to "rebuild cells from scratch" or something.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Speaking of which, you'd think he'd be here to check out the improvements, but I haven't seen him.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|...it's probably for the best.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Oh! I, uh...forgot you were here. Mark, right?
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|It just means the accommodation I asked for is being honored. At least he can do that right.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Besides, I, uh, prefer the quiet. It's giving me a chance to catch up on my backlog.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Speaking of which...listen, intern. I've been reading up on this "rhythm treatment" stuff.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|The principles of it are interesting. I think I have an idea of how you can apply it to my condition.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Let's test it out on myself again.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Uhh...usually we've got a guy for that, he's like this farmer who-
|-
|}
::''Single-Player'':
::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I'll be getting it in high doses in a minute, I might as well know what I'm getting into.
|-
|}
::''Two-Player'':
::{|
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Oh, there he is!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|This is the guy you test things on? What's he being treated for?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Everything, to be honest.
|-
|}
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Now, according to the documentation, you'll see my pulse slide across the screen just like when you've performed "Supraventricular Tachycardia Beats."
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|(Where did he...wait, that's just my notebook!)
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|As with any other "SVT Beat", you'll hear a pulse and defibrillate on the second beat.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Except...when you hear this special cue...
|-
|
|Zoop!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|...you'll hold the beat instead of pressing, up until when the next 'Get' cue would be.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|So, to be clear...you're holding the beats, not tapping them. Got it?
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|It says "If the intern doesn't remember, tell them it's like that time with the buff guy on the old-timey train." That mean anything to you?
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Now, as much as I'd love to flip through this cover-to-cover...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Hey!!!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|...let's practice.
|} 
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|That's your cue! Hold the next beat!
|} 
::''Any held beats missed:''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I think we should try that again.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|When you hear the cue, remember to hold down the next beat!
|-
|}
::::''Any held beats missed again:''
::::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Hmm...we'll try again. It's tough, but you'll get it.
|-
|}
::''Both held beats hit eventually:''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Excellent! Looks like you've got it!
|-
|}
::''Both held beats hit on first try:''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Wow. It's like you were born for this.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Let's try some faster beats, then.
|-
|}
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|There's a note in here with like a hundred circles around it, it says "DON'T PANIC, JUST FOLLOW THE RHYTHM OF GET AND SET."
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|But you probably knew that already.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Good luck!
|} 
::''Some misses:''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|That... could have gone better.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Another time, then!
|-
|}
::''Most beats hit:''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Well done!
|}
::''All beats hit on first try:''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|You're way too good at this...
|-
|}
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|That should be everything you need to know.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Hey, you forgot what I wrote in the corner!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|...the doodle of your MMO character?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Th-The other thing!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Oh right!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|While you're holding a held beat, any beats from other patients nearby will be automatically caught!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|So if you see a beat that will overlap with it, just keep holding!
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark|expr=explaining}}
|Let's try it!
|} 
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark|expr=explaining}}
|Great work, intern! You must be getting paid the big bucks.
|}
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Well, that was fun. Here's your notebook back, by the way.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Thanks. Well...I guess that handles the tutorial?
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Hey, am I allowed to read to keep my mind off things while receiving the treatment? I've got a book club meeting coming up.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Reading would be the most normal thing any patient has done while we've defibrillated.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Alright, good luck!
|}

''Intro''
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|It's weird being back here.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|No matter how much I keep my hands and my mind busy, that weird sterile smell...
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark|expr=explaining}}
|...it instantly takes me back to when I worked here.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|W-wait, what?
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Wait, what?
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I think an attack is coming. Stay focused!

''Intermission''
{|
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Did you say you used to work here?
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Yes. Straight out of school.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I think I was around your age.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Gabe and I graduated together. We did our rotations together.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I considered him a friend.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|(I've never even considered Edega having friends. Wow.)
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|(I guess even Edega had friends, huh?)
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark|expr=explaining}}
|Doing rotations while studying for exams...it was exhausting, but fun.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I followed Gabe into specialising in cardiology. Just to continue working with him.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Eventually, I couldn't keep up anymore.
|-
|}
Outro
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|He expected more and more from me...until he pushed me past my breaking point.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I felt hollow, like I couldn't muster the energy to help him. Or help anyone, really.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|When I told him I was quitting medicine altogether...
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|...it was like he pretended I never existed.
|-
|}
|-|After Clear=
{|
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Hm. Seems like it's stabilised for now.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark|expr=explaining}}
|Your new treatment idea must have worked. Thanks.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|N-no problem...
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Glad we could help!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|But wait, you're saying the reason you asked for that accommodation...
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|...is because you used to be friends?
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=baffled}}
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Yeah. It's better if...I don't hear his voice.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I burnt out. Harder than I thought I could ever burn out on anything.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|It wasn't just that I didn't want to be a doctor. I didn't want to do anything anymore. I felt lost.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|There were days where I fell asleep and wished I would never wake up.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|That was when the chronic condition set in. And when Gabe stopped talking to me.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|After long enough, I was fine with it. I didn't want to run into him either.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|When I was a little kid, I used to bury my nose in books when I wanted to shut the world out.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I guess old habits don't change.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|If I collect more and more books, then there's always something new to read. Something new to distract me.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I tried to forget my old career and ignore what it did to my body for as long as I could.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark|expr=explaining}}
|Believe me, I wouldn't step foot back in this place unless my life was literally on the line.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I'm in your care now. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you figure something out.
|}

''If Paige was fired:''
{|
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Alright! New defibrillator is working just fine. Things are finally getting under control.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|What's next? Let me check if the Rhythm Nurse intern added anything to my calendar...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|...wait...oh no. I completely forgot about the rehab meetings.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Ada was doing daily meetings to check in on Cole and Nicole on their recoveries...I, uh, haven't done a single one since she left.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Whoops.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Aghhh...t-this is gonna be so awkward, but I guess I should run by their rooms and see-
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Ian. I asked for a progress report on the Miracle Defibrillator. Come with me.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|...y-yes sir. I'll be there.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|(Intern, can you go check on how Cole and Nicole have been doing?)
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|(I feel like I haven't heard from them in forever so, uh...they might not be doing great.)
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|(Good luck! I owe you for this!)
|}

''If Paige wasn't fired:''
{|
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Alright, at least we were able to help a bit for now.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=notepad}}
|I'm concerned about how his condition has been progressing. He looks weaker every day.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|But...no time for that! We need to move on.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Hey, intern, can you help me check on Cole and Nicole?
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Last time I saw them for one of their rehab meetings, the mood was...tense.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I wonder what happened.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Let's go make sure they're okay.
|}

|-|Janitor=
{|
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|Imagine my surprise when the new patient wallowing in the dusty old Records Room was Mark Booker!
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|I remember him! The kind of guy that would really light this place up with his smile.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|That time between Mark quitting and Ada joining... those were The Dark Ages for sure.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|I was just talking to him this morning and he remembered me too!
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|We used to trade books back and forth. He'd make me read some fancy-pants classic literature and I'd make him read some sports history.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|I can't remember a single word of Pilgrim's Progress or Don Quixote, but I'll never forget how excited he was to give them to me.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|I wish we could've re-united under happier circumstances, he seems like he's in rough shape. You better fix him up!
