Welcome Back is the second level of Act 6. It introduces 5-beat defibrillation, tutorializes third-time one-shots, and includes the split row mechanic.
Welcome Back is the second level of Act 6. It introduces 5-beat defibrillation, tutorializes triple-time oneshots (Not used in the level proper, but tutorialized for reasons specified below), and includes the split-heart mechanic.


==Synopsis==
==Synopsis==
...On this level's first playthrough, it seamlessly transitions into Boss Fight where it would normally change to the rank screen.
Mark is being treated in the Medical Records room during an anxiety attack, triggered by Dr. Edega suddenly appearing in his room. Flashbacks of the main hospital hall appear with Edega front-and-center, portraying him as some sort of horror antagonist. Halfway through the level, it shows Paige asleep before she suddenly wakes up with the visual of the screen shattering. While the player is still treating Mark, Paige is shown running through the main hall, briefly stopping by each patient, presumably asking them where Ian and Mark are. After this, on the level's first playthrough, it seamlessly transitions into Boss Fight. Otherwise, the level ends.
 
The level is quite difficult due to its unusual time signature and fast pace, which is likely to catch players off-guard along with the dramatic visuals & unannounced split heart.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* The majority of Welcome Back is in 9/4 time (grouped 4+5). Paige's interlude is in 4/4 time.
* While Welcome Back is the first level to use a 5-beat long row, [[Know You]], [[Worn Out Tapes]], and [[Kingdom of Balloons]] all feature <code>xx----</code> patterns heavily, which functionally act the same.
