Synopsis
In a cutscene after Intimate, Paige and Ian explain the Rhythm Doctor Program to the player, but are first interrupted by a cocksure Dr Edega, and then by an emergency patient: the Insomniac. The player treats the Insomniac despite glitches and disruptions caused by the Connectifia Abortus virus. After a successful treatment, the player moves on to the next ward.

| So. We haven't explained the whole "musical doctoring" process yet. | |
| We kinda pulled you straight into the deep end. Sorry about that. | |
| Thankfully, you’re a quick learner. | |
| Ian, do you think you could explain the program? It's more...your thing. | |
| R-right! The Rhythm Doctor program is a new, experimental healthcare initiative. | |

| Y-yes, sir, as you can see, our new intern is here and- | |
| Edega | Very good. |
| Edega | But let's not be overconfident. There's still a lot that both of you should be getting to. |
| Edega | The shift has only just started. Ensure that every patient is personally seen to. |
| Edega | I imagine I'm not interrupting some sort of "break." |
| Not at all, we were just- | |
| Edega | Submit a report about the program by the end of the day. |
| ... | |
| Don't mind him, that’s our...well, don't worry about it. | |
| We should show you around so you can meet the rest of the patients. | |
| You should be able to shift your video display around the hospital, to... | |
| H-hold on. Something's happening. | |
| One of our patients needs help, immediately. That can't be good. |

| You're up, intern. | |
| Remember, just stay calm and keep counting to seven. | |
| No matter what happens! |
[Interlude 1]
| It looks like something's messing with your connection. | |
| Could it be... | |

[Interlude 2]
| Yup. It was the infection. | |
| Classic case of the wifi-signal-jamming virus. | |
| Connectifia abortus. | |
| It's about to come back now, and stronger. | |
