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.

Synopsis

...On this level's first playthrough, it seamlessly transitions into Boss Fight where it would normally change to the rank screen.

Transcript

	Hey!
	I just hooked the new patient up to the defibrillator and...
	Well, I've never seen anything like this before.
	His row... it's shorter than it should be!
	Whatever this patient went through, it must have been extremely rough.
	His heart is barely holding it together.
[Mark]	...
[Mark]	Hi there. That's, uh, an interesting way to greet a patient. Are you supposed to be the doctor on call today?
	Well...I'm one of them, I guess. I'm Ian.
[Mark (explaining)]	Nice to meet you. I'm Mark.
[Mark]	As you guessed, I've had some bad history with heart health.
[Mark (lookleft)]	And I feel like I should warn you...it tends to flare up even worse when I experience, um...moments of anxiety. It's a long story.
	Good to know! I'll write that down for Dr Paige. (Managing patient anxiety is more her specialty.)
	Anyway!
	Intern, you know by now that the Rhythm Defibrillator is programmed to treat patients on the seventh beat.
	But given Mr Booker's current condition, it seems you'll be hitting on...
	...beat five!
[Mark (explaining)]	That's two less than seven!
	Fantastic obervation, Mr Booker.
[Mark]	Y'know, I've been to a lot of specialists. None have been able to make heads or tails of my symptoms.
[Mark]	Every prescription, every remedy...nothing's helped. So don't beat yourself up if you can't help either.
[Mark]	The only reason I decided to come to Middlesea Hospital is because I've heard you've got this new "experimental treatment".
[Mark (explaining)]	So give it a go, "intern". Let's test it out and see how it feels. I'm curious to see it up close.
	Alright! Let's show him what rhythm defibrillation can do. This time, uh, with five beats!

No misses:

[Mark]

...I thought you said the intern had never tried this.

(tba)

	You've seen SVT beats that double and halve the tempo...
	But in rare cases, it might cut into thirds!
	It sounds scary, but if you let yourself feel the rhythm, it should come naturally.
	Let's give that a try while we're here.

Some misses:

Pretty good! That looked tricky.

[Mark]	What a fascinating way to treat cardiac symptoms.
[Mark]	And in the hands of the right user... you'd definitely be able to operate efficiently. Assuming you don't slip up.
	(tba)
	Proceed with the treatment. Quit stalling for Dr Paige.
[Mark (scared)]	...!
	Oh, h-hi! Hey, actually, shouldn't you wait outside? Because of the patient's request. The one that mentioned...you.
	Hm. Fine. Begin the procedure, and I'll wait for Dr Paige. She should've been here already.
	Let's get started!

[Mark (lookright)]	He's not coming in here...
[Mark (lookleft)]	...is he?

Interlude

	What time-
	OH NO

This is a placeholder.
