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

It is the fifth and currently final 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.

[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 have more work to do; the dialogue then transitions into the credits level, [[Helping Hands]].

|-| 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 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 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.
|-
|}

|-|Dialogue=
''[Level start]''
{|
|[Lucky] They keep saying that 'healing takes time.'
|-
|[Lucky] How long is this gonna take?
|-
|[Interlude]
|-
|{{Sprite/Miner}} Hey! Everything okay?
|-
|[Lucky] Eh.
|-
|{{Sprite/Miner}} C'mon, let's do our stretches.
|-
|[Lucky] Ugh...fine...
|-
|{{Sprite/Miner}} It'll never be a hundred percent. You have to make peace with that.
|-
|[Lucky] I know...It's just....
|-
|[Lucky] I was never much of anyone as a kid.
|-
|[Lucky] Bad grades, couldn't ever focus, mom and dad yellin' at me...
|-
|[Lucky] But on the field, everything was different.
|-
|[Lucky] Without baseball... I feel like I'll just be that useless kid again.
|-
|{{Sprite/Miner}} ...
|-
|[Lucky] Sorry, I...
|-
|{{Sprite/Samurai}} Can you teach me baseball?
|-
|[Lucky] wait what
|-
|[Interlude, in the form of text messages in Cole's room]
|-
|{{Sprite/Samurai}} let's play baseball
|-
|{{Sprite/Cole}} X
|-
|[Interlude]
|-
|[Lucky] Alright everyone! Tomorrow's the big day! The local university agreed to a game. It won't be easy.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}} H-Hey Ada, we've got a problem...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}} The virus is back.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}} No matter what we do, it sticks around.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}} Then the intern will have to keep watch on the whole team. What choice do we have?
|-
|[Lucky] Can't sleep...why is my heart racing?
|-
|[Lucky] Do I really care whether they win this pointless match?
|-
|[Lucky] Or does 'coaching' just mean that I'm giving up on my dreams?
|-
|[Interlude]
|-
|[Lucky] Ninth inning, team!
|-
|[Lucky] I know how it feels. Like you're running on an empty tank. That it'd be easier to just let it be over.
|-
|[Lucky] But don't give in.
|-
|[Lucky] Y'know, when you all said you wanted me to coach you...
|-
|[Lucky] ...I thought you were joking. I didn't think you'd stand a chance in a real game, but here you are.
|-
|[Lucky] That's why I've learned never to listen to what coaches have to say. They're usually clueless.
|-
|[Lucky] So listen to me just this once, then never listen to me again!
|-
|[Lucky] If you push yourself further here...on a path you never thought you could run on...
|-
|[Lucky] ...I know you'll live with no regrets!
|-
|[End of song]

{|
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|How are you feeling today, Mr Jonronero?
|-
|[Lucky]
|...
|-
|[Lucky]
|Not too bad, actually. Just taking it one day at a time.
|-
|[Lucky]
|The shoulder doesn't hurt so much anymore.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Excellent! Glad to hear it. Oh, and hey...congrats on your team's win!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|The hospital team, I mean. I can't believe you were able to whip them all into shape so fast.
|-
|[Lucky]
|Ha. Well, I was surprised to see they had it in them.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Ah, there you are, Mr Jonronero.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Good news. Ian has completed a beta build of the new defibrillator.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega|expr=noteflip}}
|If we perform the procedure today, you can be back in the pro league by tomorrow morning. No recovery period.
|-
|[Lucky]
|Wow. Wait, really? Tomorrow?
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Of course. In time for the playoffs. Ready?
|-
|[Lucky]
|...
|-
|[Lucky]
|.....
|-
|[Lucky]
|Actually...I think I'll pass.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Excuse me?
|-
|[Lucky]
|I couldn't tell at first, but it looks like I've been making good progress on my own.
|-
|[Lucky]
|Even if it's taking forever.
|-
|[Lucky]
|When I got here, I was dying to get out, but...maybe this place ain't so bad.
|-
|[Lucky]
|The people are...nice. And persistent.
|-
|[Lucky]
|I thought they were screwing around when they said they wanted to play ball. But they really went through with it.
|-
|[Lucky]
|And every point they scored...it felt just as good as scoring my own.
|-
|[Lucky]
|Maybe even better.
|-
|[Lucky]
|I've spent my whole career trying to make miracles happen on pure grit and determination.
|-
|[Lucky]
|But after seeing how pumped they were winning just one little game...maybe all that energy I built up is better spent somewhere else.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|...
|-
|[Lucky]
|If your "beta build" thingy goes wrong...I might lose this part of me that's still left.
|-
|[Lucky]
|I can't do that. I've only got one body, y'know?
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Interesting. The choice is your own, but, if I may...
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega|expr=noteflip}}
|From what I can tell, the status of your next contract with the Middlesea Scales seems to be hanging by a thread.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|You're keeping your fans waiting. And your team. I can't imagine that reflects well on you.
|-
|[Lucky]
|...
|-
|[Lucky]
|Well, maybe I've found a better team.
|-
|[Lucky]
|Thanks for the offer anyway, doc. Good luck with your beta testing.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Hrm.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Interesting.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Enjoy the rest of your stay. I'm sure Dr Paige must know what's best for you.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Hey, uh, Ada...we should talk.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|What's up?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|About that virus, Connectifia Abortus...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|The intern's work at the baseball game, handling the big flare-up...it gave me a lot of great info.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|I think I've figured it out. It's the rhythm defibrillation system itself that keeps causing the glitches.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Oh...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Yeah. Yikes, right? But there's good news! I think we can fix it.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|I just need more time.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Edega keeps dragging me away to work on his new "miracle cure" thing.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|If you and the intern can keep him busy, and take care of all the patients...I can figure out how to get rid of the virus!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|That's good!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|Y-yeah! Although, maybe a little bit easier said than done.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Definitely...but the intern's been unstoppable so far!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Together, we'll keep things running as smooth as-
|-
|[Lucky]
|Oh hey, doc.
|-
|[Lucky]
|Since I'm gonna be stuck here anyway, and I'm still feeling the post-victory glow...
|-
|[Lucky]
|...I wanna get something off my chest.
|-
|[Lucky]
|You two aren't so bad. Maybe.
|-
|[Lucky]
|I mean, you do spew a bunch of techno-jargon at me. And keep me cooped up in bed all the time.
|-
|[Lucky]
|And, uh, make me eat yogurt and weird vegetable mush.
|-
|[Lucky]
|But...at the end of the day...I know you're just trying to help.
|-
|[Lucky]
|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.
|-
|[Lucky]
|Well, from now on, I'll try not make your life a livin' hell, haha. I promise.
|-
|[Lucky]
|And as for you, intern. Once I finish my recovery...
|-
|[Lucky]
|...I'm challengin' you to an arm wrestle!
|-
|[Lucky]
|So you better not transfer to any other clinics, y'hear?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|(The intern is gonna break this man like a twig...)
|-
|{{Sprite/Miner}}
|Making friends over here, Coach? I knew you had it in ya!
|-
|{{Sprite/Nicole}}
|Loving that hustle, Coach! The charm! The can-do attitude!
|-
|{{Sprite/Hailey}}
|Awwwww, Coach! If you just wanted to make friends, you shoulda just asked! We'll be your friends!
|-
|[Lucky]
|S-shut up!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Alright, everyone! Party's over! Back to your rooms!
|-
|[Lucky]
|Yeah! Rest up real good, because you're all joggin' laps around the block tomorrow!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|D-does he mean us too?
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I think so! C'mon intern, let's hustle!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|There's still a lot of work to do.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|You ready?
|}
|-|Janitor=
{|
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} Did you hear about the hospital baseball team?
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} They went up against a university and actually won!
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} I overheard that girl Hailey stressin' about how they were going to come up with a uniform.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} She wanted matching outfits for the team.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} I figured I'd help her out... so I gave her a box of old hospital staff uniforms. For the janitors and such.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} Turns out that was exactly what she needed! Using those old ratty things, she sewed together those really cute baseball uniforms.
|-
|{{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.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} But... well, I chickened out. I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of Lucky.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} I figured maybe my energy would be better spent somewhere else.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} That's why I went to the game and cheered loud and proud from the bleachers!

<poem style="background-color: #faf7ed; padding: 1em;">
[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
</poem>

* 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 first boss stage to have a tutorial.

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

It is the fifth and currently final 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.

[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 have more work to do; the dialogue then transitions into the credits level, [[Helping Hands]].

|-| 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 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 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.
|-
|}

|-|Dialogue=
''[Level start]''
{|
|[Lucky] They keep saying that 'healing takes time.'
|-
|[Lucky] How long is this gonna take?
|-
|[Interlude]
|-
|{{Sprite/Miner}} Hey! Everything okay?
|-
|[Lucky] Eh.
|-
|{{Sprite/Miner}} C'mon, let's do our stretches.
|-
|[Lucky] Ugh...fine...
|-
|{{Sprite/Miner}} It'll never be a hundred percent. You have to make peace with that.
|-
|[Lucky] I know...It's just....
|-
|[Lucky] I was never much of anyone as a kid.
|-
|[Lucky] Bad grades, couldn't ever focus, mom and dad yellin' at me...
|-
|[Lucky] But on the field, everything was different.
|-
|[Lucky] Without baseball... I feel like I'll just be that useless kid again.
|-
|{{Sprite/Miner}} ...
|-
|[Lucky] Sorry, I...
|-
|{{Sprite/Samurai}} Can you teach me baseball?
|-
|[Lucky] wait what
|-
|[Interlude, in the form of text messages in Cole's room]
|-
|{{Sprite/Samurai}} let's play baseball
|-
|{{Sprite/Cole}} X
|-
|[Interlude]
|-
|[Lucky] Alright everyone! Tomorrow's the big day! The local university agreed to a game. It won't be easy.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}} H-Hey Ada, we've got a problem...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}} The virus is back.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}} No matter what we do, it sticks around.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}} Then the intern will have to keep watch on the whole team. What choice do we have?
|-
|[Lucky] Can't sleep...why is my heart racing?
|-
|[Lucky] Do I really care whether they win this pointless match?
|-
|[Lucky] Or does 'coaching' just mean that I'm giving up on my dreams?
|-
|[Interlude]
|-
|[Lucky] Ninth inning, team!
|-
|[Lucky] I know how it feels. Like you're running on an empty tank. That it'd be easier to just let it be over.
|-
|[Lucky] But don't give in.
|-
|[Lucky] Y'know, when you all said you wanted me to coach you...
|-
|[Lucky] ...I thought you were joking. I didn't think you'd stand a chance in a real game, but here you are.
|-
|[Lucky] That's why I've learned never to listen to what coaches have to say. They're usually clueless.
|-
|[Lucky] So listen to me just this once, then never listen to me again!
|-
|[Lucky] If you push yourself further here...on a path you never thought you could run on...
|-
|[Lucky] ...I know you'll live with no regrets!
|-

|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|How are you feeling today, Mr Jonronero?
|-
|[Lucky]
|...
|-
|[Lucky]
|Not too bad, actually. Just taking it one day at a time.
|-
|[Lucky]
|The shoulder doesn't hurt so much anymore.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Excellent! Glad to hear it. Oh, and hey...congrats on your team's win!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|The hospital team, I mean. I can't believe you were able to whip them all into shape so fast.
|-
|[Lucky]
|Ha. Well, I was surprised to see they had it in them.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Ah, there you are, Mr Jonronero.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Good news. Ian has completed a beta build of the new defibrillator.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega|expr=noteflip}}
|If we perform the procedure today, you can be back in the pro league by tomorrow morning. No recovery period.
|-
|[Lucky]
|Wow. Wait, really? Tomorrow?
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Of course. In time for the playoffs. Ready?
|-
|[Lucky]
|...
|-
|[Lucky]
|.....
|-
|[Lucky]
|Actually...I think I'll pass.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Excuse me?
|-
|[Lucky]
|I couldn't tell at first, but it looks like I've been making good progress on my own.
|-
|[Lucky]
|Even if it's taking forever.
|-
|[Lucky]
|When I got here, I was dying to get out, but...maybe this place ain't so bad.
|-
|[Lucky]
|The people are...nice. And persistent.
|-
|[Lucky]
|I thought they were screwing around when they said they wanted to play ball. But they really went through with it.
|-
|[Lucky]
|And every point they scored...it felt just as good as scoring my own.
|-
|[Lucky]
|Maybe even better.
|-
|[Lucky]
|I've spent my whole career trying to make miracles happen on pure grit and determination.
|-
|[Lucky]
|But after seeing how pumped they were winning just one little game...maybe all that energy I built up is better spent somewhere else.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|...
|-
|[Lucky]
|If your "beta build" thingy goes wrong...I might lose this part of me that's still left.
|-
|[Lucky]
|I can't do that. I've only got one body, y'know?
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Interesting. The choice is your own, but, if I may...
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega|expr=noteflip}}
|From what I can tell, the status of your next contract with the Middlesea Scales seems to be hanging by a thread.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|You're keeping your fans waiting. And your team. I can't imagine that reflects well on you.
|-
|[Lucky]
|...
|-
|[Lucky]
|Well, maybe I've found a better team.
|-
|[Lucky]
|Thanks for the offer anyway, doc. Good luck with your beta testing.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Hrm.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Interesting.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Enjoy the rest of your stay. I'm sure Dr Paige must know what's best for you.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Hey, uh, Ada...we should talk.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|What's up?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|About that virus, Connectifia Abortus...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|The intern's work at the baseball game, handling the big flare-up...it gave me a lot of great info.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|I think I've figured it out. It's the rhythm defibrillation system itself that keeps causing the glitches.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Oh...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Yeah. Yikes, right? But there's good news! I think we can fix it.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|I just need more time.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Edega keeps dragging me away to work on his new "miracle cure" thing.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|If you and the intern can keep him busy, and take care of all the patients...I can figure out how to get rid of the virus!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|That's good!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|Y-yeah! Although, maybe a little bit easier said than done.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Definitely...but the intern's been unstoppable so far!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Together, we'll keep things running as smooth as-
|-
|[Lucky]
|Oh hey, doc.
|-
|[Lucky]
|Since I'm gonna be stuck here anyway, and I'm still feeling the post-victory glow...
|-
|[Lucky]
|...I wanna get something off my chest.
|-
|[Lucky]
|You two aren't so bad. Maybe.
|-
|[Lucky]
|I mean, you do spew a bunch of techno-jargon at me. And keep me cooped up in bed all the time.
|-
|[Lucky]
|And, uh, make me eat yogurt and weird vegetable mush.
|-
|[Lucky]
|But...at the end of the day...I know you're just trying to help.
|-
|[Lucky]
|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.
|-
|[Lucky]
|Well, from now on, I'll try not make your life a livin' hell, haha. I promise.
|-
|[Lucky]
|And as for you, intern. Once I finish my recovery...
|-
|[Lucky]
|...I'm challengin' you to an arm wrestle!
|-
|[Lucky]
|So you better not transfer to any other clinics, y'hear?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|(The intern is gonna break this man like a twig...)
|-
|{{Sprite/Miner}}
|Making friends over here, Coach? I knew you had it in ya!
|-
|{{Sprite/Nicole}}
|Loving that hustle, Coach! The charm! The can-do attitude!
|-
|{{Sprite/Hailey}}
|Awwwww, Coach! If you just wanted to make friends, you shoulda just asked! We'll be your friends!
|-
|[Lucky]
|S-shut up!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Alright, everyone! Party's over! Back to your rooms!
|-
|[Lucky]
|Yeah! Rest up real good, because you're all joggin' laps around the block tomorrow!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|D-does he mean us too?
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I think so! C'mon intern, let's hustle!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|There's still a lot of work to do.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|You ready?
|}
|-|Janitor=
{|
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} Did you hear about the hospital baseball team?
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} They went up against a university and actually won!
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} I overheard that girl Hailey stressin' about how they were going to come up with a uniform.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} She wanted matching outfits for the team.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} I figured I'd help her out... so I gave her a box of old hospital staff uniforms. For the janitors and such.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} Turns out that was exactly what she needed! Using those old ratty things, she sewed together those really cute baseball uniforms.
|-
|{{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.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} But... well, I chickened out. I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of Lucky.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} I figured maybe my energy would be better spent somewhere else.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} That's why I went to the game and cheered loud and proud from the bleachers!

<poem style="background-color: #faf7ed; padding: 1em;">
[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
</poem>

== 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 first boss stage to have a tutorial.

'''Samurai Techno''', also known as '''Oriental Techno''' or '''Koto Shoko Techno''' (1-1) is a level in Rhythm Doctor. The Night Shift version is [[Samurai Dubstep]].

Samurai Techno is the first level in the game. It introduces the [[Samurai]] character and [[Classic Beats]].

== Synopsis ==

The level begins immediately after the [[Act 1]] tutorial. The player treats the Samurai in a Japanese themed room which transitions to a surreal space background. After the level, Paige remarks that the ''Rhythm Doctor'' program "really works", and that the player will be a huge help around the hospital, remarking that they have been busy recently. The player then moves on to their treatment of a new adolescent patient.

The only difference is that, on the second-to-last beat, Player 2's Samurai has an input, whereas Player 1's Samurai has no input.

== History ==
*

== Trivia ==

* Samurai Techno was the first level in the Flash Demo, where it was called ''Oriental Techno'', and very briefly, ''Koto Shoko Techno''.
* In the Flash Demo version, the rank text for the F rank was "samurai say: are you high"

Janitor

2024-06-23T21:11:58Z

Angelictactics: gave him a page finally

Janitor is a character that appears in ''Rhythm Doctor''. He is one of the hospital's staff, and is currently not treatable.
{{Character
|name=Janitor
|image=File:JanitorMedium.png
|quote="I don't get paid enough for this..."
|first=
|internalname=Janitor
|alts=
|fullname=N/A
|gender=Male
}}
== Appearance ==
The Janitor is a middle-aged black man, who wears both a surgical mask and hospital scrubs as he wanders through the hospital. He is usually seen either with his mop, or working alongside a ginger-haired janitor (such as in 5-1N).

== Personality ==
Having worked at the hospital for five years now, The Janitor is a rather jaded and exhausted person as a whole. He commonly says that he isn't being paid enough to handle everything chaotic happening in Middlesea Hospital, but despite his words he appears rather fond of the patients and staff. He's also a rather good listener, and often has things to say about the level the player last completed.

== Relationships ==
* The Janitor appears to at least consider '''The [[Intern]]''' friends, given how he will frequently have something to say about the level the player just completed. This is especially noted for 4-1's Janitor dialogue, where he wonders if you forgot something or just like talking to him.
* The Janitor seems a bit resigned in regards to '''[[Hailey]] & [[Logan]]''', saying that love ''isn't that complicated and they should confess already'' and that they need to stop dancing in the plant room. Despite this, he seems a bit fond of them.
* The Janitor and '''[[Nicole]]''' are decidedly acquaintances, despite the fact that Janitor says he's been going to the cafe for five years and Nicole still hasn't gotten his name right. Despite this, he's rather fond of her music, particularly noted in 4-4N's Janitor dialogue.
* The Janitor holds '''[[Paige]]''' in high regard, especially after an incident mentioned in 4-2's Janitor dialogue where Ada handled a surgery while the patient's wife and four kids were stuck in the hospital. He's also noted when Paige gets particularly stressed, she starts drinking a lot of soda.
* For the most part, the Janitor seems to be baffled by '''[[Ian]]''' and his actions, especially his erratic schedule. He comments on how late the radiologist stays, and how he's usually the first one clocked in during 5-2N's Janitor dialogue.

== Levels ==
* Main Ward (Not Treatable)
* SVT Ward (Not Treatable)

== History ==
* In the Steam Demo, Janitor can be seen conversing with a coworker that reappears in 5-1N's visuals. This was meant to serve as a roadblock, much like how Janitor's cart blocked off Act 5's Physiotherapy Ward before the player unlocked it.

== Trivia ==
* The Janitor is one of the few characters in Rhythm Doctor that the player does not operate on directly. The other characters that share this trait as of the Act 5 Update are his coworker, the [[Nurse]], Doctor [[Edega]], and Doctor Spider.

Lucky

2024-06-23T20:17:04Z

Angelictactics: /* Gallery */ added sprites + key art

{{Character
|name=Lucky
|image=File:Lucky.png
|quote="Without baseball... I feel like I'll just be that useless kid again."

|internalname=Athlete
|fullname=Maximo "Lucky" Jonronero
|alias=
* Lucky Jonronero
* Mr. Jonronero
|gender=Male
|occupation =
* Baseball Player
* Coach
}}

'''Maximo "Lucky" Jonronero''' is a character that appears in Rhythm Doctor. He is a Baseball Player for the Middlesea Scales and later on the game becomes the Coach for the Middlesea hospital team. He makes his first appearance in [[Lucky Break]]. He mostly uses [[Oneshot Beats]] and its many gimmicks such as [[Subdivision Beats]], [[Freeze beats]], [[Burn Beats]], [[Blast Beats]] and [[Skipshots]]. He's also seen using [[Classic Beats]] on [[One Slip Too Late]].

== Appearance ==
When on the field, he wears a white sport suit and red helmet. He's seen holding a baseball bat behind his head. He's also seen chewing gum, blowing it repeatedly. When he's submitted to the hospital, he's still wearing the suit, but he has no helmet or bat, and his right arm is in a cast.

== Personality ==
As shown, Lucky is generally pretty brash and impulsive, as well as impatient. He's quick to anger, but seems quick to realize that anger (even asking for a pillow from Paige to scream into in the aftermath of [[Lucky Break|5-1]]). He puts a lot of weight on his fame before the end of [[Dreams Don't Stop|5-X]], but grows to depend on it less by the end of [[Act 5]], even denying the beta treatment that [[Edega|Dr. Edega]] offers to him in an attempt to appeal to his impatience. He also grows to care about his team, though he denies it.

It's said outright during [[Dreams Don't Stop|5-X]] that Lucky has a strained relationship with his parents, which could be why he depended on the fame and praise his fans gave him, and is why he turned to baseball in the first place.

== Relationships ==

== Levels ==
*[[Lucky Break]]
*[[One Slip Too Late]]
*[[Lo-fi Beats For Patients To Chill To]]
*[[Unsustainable Inconsolable]]
*[[Seventh-Inning Stretch]]
*[[Dreams Don't Stop]]

== History ==

== Trivia ==
* His last name, Jonronero, translates to "home run hitter" in Spanish.

'''Battleworn Insomniac''', also known as '''Oriental Insomniac''' (1-X) is a level in Rhythm Doctor. The Night Shift version is [[Super Battleworn Insomniac]].

Battleworn Insomniac is the first boss level in the game. It introduces the [[Insomniac]] with his [[Insomniac Beats]] and [[Connectifia Abortus]].

== Synopsis ==

In a cutscene after [[Intimate]], Paige and Ian explain the ''Rhythm Doctor Program'' to the player, but are first interrupted by a cocksure [[Edega|Dr Edega]] who tells them to submit a report about the ''Rhythm Doctor'' program. They are then interrupted by an emergency patient, the Insomniac. The player treats the Insomniac through glitches and disruptions caused by the Connectifia Abortus virus. After the level, Paige asks Ian about said glitches, and Ian explains that a strange virus was interrupting the intern's signal. The player moves on to the next ward.

== 2P Changes ==
* An additional color-swapped Insomniac is added to the level for Player 2, with his respective additional heartbeat row. This secondary Insomniac has the exact same heartbeat as the default Insomniac, with Player 1 taking control of the latter. Two health bars are present for both patients.

== History ==
*
Prior to the full release of the game, this level and its super version were originally called "Oriental Insomniac". This was changed across all official sites using the song, the reason it was changed is still unclear.

== Trivia ==
*During the first few beats of this boss level, text will be present, giving feedback on the player's inputs. The text lets the player know if they hit the beat perfectly, if they missed it by hitting too early, or if they missed it by hitting too late. This is a trait shared with 2-X, but there are two differences. Firstly, 2-X has the feedback text present for the entirety of the level, whereas 1-X has the text fade out shortly after the level begins. Second, if the player fails to press their input key and misses at least 2 beats as a result of this, text will appear on the screen which reads "PRESS ON THE SEVENTH BEAT." This text is completely unique to 1-X and cannot be triggered in 2-X or any other boss level.

*If the low health beeps are activated before the first interlude occurs, morse code will play during said interlude. The morse code spells out "MELON."

*If the virus's health bar is not depleted before the song ends, it will loop for a few more bars, fading into static, with a short segment from [[Samurai Techno]] being audible.

'''Intimate''' (1-2) is a level in Rhythm Doctor. The Night Shift version is [[Intimate (Night)]].

It introduces the characters [[Logan]] and [[Hailey]], and the [[Row Xs]] mechanic.

== Synopsis ==

The player treats Logan for what Ian calls "excessive schmaltziness." Halfway through the level, Hailey insists on being treated in the same room as Logan. The player and [[Paige|Dr Paige]] cooperate to treat the two, Paige handling Hailey's row. After the level, Hailey explains to Logan that she got worried since he had told her he was going to the hospital without any explanation. Logan apologizes, explaining that he said "something stupid" in their last conversation, before Hailey cuts him off to reassure him, saying that they now have time to discuss what it was that he wanted to say. Paige then continues the player's tour of the hospital.

== 2P Changes ==
* Player 1 and Player 2 swap control of Logan's heartbeat three times. After the first interlude, Player 2 takes control of Hailey's heartbeat instead of the CPU. Paige's dialogue changes, directing Player 2 to take care of Hailey. Player 1 takes control of Logan's heartbeat. The two players retain control of their respective heartbeats until the level ends.

== History ==
*

== Trivia ==
* If Two Player mode is enabled, the second player will be made to handle Hailey's row of heartbeats after the first interlude. Since 1-2 and 1-2N have identical beat patterns, with the only difference being a change in dialogue and visuals, this makes it able to functionally experience 1-2N before 1-2N is actually unlocked.
::* Additionally, in 1-2, Player 1 and Player 2 swap control of the first patient's standalone heartbeat several times. However, in 1-2N, Player 1 has full control of the first patient's standalone heartbeat, with Player 2 having no gameplay input until after the first interlude, where they take care of the second patient's heartbeat. This means that, on Two Player mode, 1-2 has more input complexity than its Night Shift variant, since the two players have to juggle control of the first patient's heartbeat.
* This the only level in which Two Player mode enables player control of a patient whose heartbeat is normally controlled by an NPC.

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

It is the fifth and currently final 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.

[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 have more work to do; the dialogue then transitions into the credits level, [[Helping Hands]].

|{{Sprite/Janitor}} Did you hear about the hospital baseball team?
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} They went up against a university and actually won!

|{{Sprite/Janitor}} I overheard that girl Hailey stressin' about how they were going to come up with a uniform.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} She wanted matching outfits for the team.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} I figured I'd help her out... so I gave her a box of old hospital staff uniforms. For the janitors and such.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} Turns out that was exactly what she needed! Using those old ratty things, she sewed together those really cute baseball uniforms.
|-
|{{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.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} But... well, I chickened out. I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of Lucky.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} I figured maybe my energy would be better spent somewhere else.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} That's why I went to the game and cheered loud and proud from the bleachers!

<tabber>
|-|English=
<poem style="background-color: #faf7ed; padding: 1em;">
[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
</poem>

== 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 first boss stage to have a tutorial.

== History ==
*This level first appeared in the [[Closed Beta|closed beta]] under the name Delay Pedal 2.
**It had [[Barista]] as the [[Oneshot_Beats|Oneshot]] row instead of [[Cole]] and [[Nicole]], and [[Samurai]] as the main classic row, with the exception of the [[Intimate]] motif, which was [[Logan]]. 
**After the dialogue, the Oneshot pattern was cued with a simple "Get Set Go", since modern Oneshot cueing standards weren't in place yet.
**This proto-[[Squareshots|Squareshot]] pattern, after a few loops, would change again, adding a third oneshot per bar. This third pattern was not adapted into the Steam version of the game though.

== Trivia ==
* This is the first and only level to make use of Logan's alternate 'hit' sprite, where he looks to the left, raises his hand, and smiles with his eyes open. This animation has been present within the level editor prior to its first main game use.
* The C-rank title may be a reference to another one of 7th Beat Games games, A Dance of Fire and Ice.
* The post-clear text states that there are "four patients", however there are actually five patients as the [[Samurai]] appears briefly in this level. This may be an oversight.

'''Nicole Ting''' is a character that appears in Rhythm Doctor. She works at the hospital's cafe as a barista and makes her first appearance in [[Puff Piece]]. She uses exclusively [[Oneshot Beats]] and Swung Oneshots.

== Appearance ==
Nicole has light green hair tied back in a ponytail, and light skin. Her work uniform consists of a white button-up shirt with rolled up sleeves, navy blue pants, black shoes, and an ocean-green apron layered over her shirt. She appears to be taller than most of the Rhythm Doctor cast, though she is still shorter than [[Miner]] as shown in promotional art. She is usually seen with either a cup of coffee or a cigarette in hand. Nicole is described by the janitor to usually have a sour expression on her face while working the rush hour.

== Personality ==
Nicole is a relatively relaxed person when not on the job. She is very insightful and sympathetic to the stresses of the hospital staff. She has a generally positive outlook, making an effort to dance during her shift in Puff Piece, and loves gaming. She has a competitive side which can be seen in [[Bomb-Sniffing Pomeranian]].

== Relationships ==
* Nicole is seen most with [[Cole]] throughout Act 2. She admits that she finds Cole "pretty chill", and that she looks forward to seeing him every day. Nicole also has Cole's morning and afternoon usual coffees memorized.

* Following the events of [[Puff Piece]], Nicole calls The [[Intern]] cool and invites them to come by anytime. She then tells them to make themself comfortable in [[Song of the Sea]], offering to let them play on the keyboard if they like. She appears to be fond enough of the Intern to call them her new in-house pianist during [[Song of the Sea (Night)]], and expresses that the Intern can unwind at the cafe whenever they like.

* Nicole seems to be on relatively friendly terms with [[Paige]], similarly calling her cool after Puff Piece. She and Paige speak at length in Song of the Sea (Night), where she expresses concern for the doctor. Nicole expresses that she finds Paige "a delight".

* In [[Seventh-Inning Stretch]], Nicole notes to Cole that [[Lucky|Lucky Jonronero]], the new patient, is one of the biggest names on the Middlesea Scales. She is later spotted on the hospital baseball team that Lucky trains in [[Dreams Don't Stop]], and amicably calls Lucky 'Coach', showing her respect for him.

== Levels ==
As a patient:
* [[Puff Piece]]
* [[Song of the Sea]]
* [[All The Times]]

Angelictactics: /* G and Tonic is not an official level. */ new section

uhhh...I don't think this level exists.

yeah. this level was a custom level that (according to a random youtube video, take this with a grain of salt)
was supposed to be added to the main game, but it isn't currently in the game.

so should I just delete this page?

Shut the fuck up. G And Tonic is the best fucking thing ever. Don't insult G And Tonic like that.

'''Paige''' is a character that appears in Rhythm Doctor. Paige makes her first appearance in the tutorial of the game when she explains the 7 beat mechanic to the player. In levels, Paige uses primarily [[Swing_(Gimmick)|Swing]] beats, however is also seen using [[Row Xs]].

== Appearance ==
Paige wears glasses with blue frames and a white lab coat with a light blue T-shirt underneath, along with dark brown shoes and a stethoscope. She is of average height, with light skin and long, brown hair. She also carries a red clown nose and Yo-Yo in her pockets, as seen in both her static "Happy" expression, and her walking "Happy" expression.

== Personality ==
Paige has been shown to be a very caring person, even (as stated in her character description) to her own detriment, as she goes out of her way multiple times to give others a helping hand. For example, she allows Hailey to go on a trip during her hospital stay at the beginning of Act 4, and made a [https://twitter.com/RhythmDrGame/status/1528061883483160577 consolation prize out of soda cans for Ian during college]. Additionally, [https://wiki.rhythm.cafe/page/Invisible#Janitor-0 interacting with the Janitor after completing Invisible] reveals that she gave the eldest child of one of her patients a birthday gift.

It can also be assumed that Paige is a social person outside of work, though her being overworked has recently put strain on her relationships. For example, in [https://wiki.rhythm.cafe/page/One_Shift_More One Shift More], she states that she has lost a lot of friends and was unable to be present for them because of how much work has been placed on her.

== Relationships ==
*She is good friends and coworkers with [[Ian]]. It is also known that [https://twitter.com/RhythmDrGame/status/1528061883483160577 they went to college together.]
*She is the subordinate of [[Edega|Dr. Edega]], whose passive-aggressive comments make her feel stressed or expendable.
*[[Nicole]] and Paige seem to be friends, as Paige is seen venting about her stress to Nicole in [[Song of the Sea (Night)]].
*[[Richard Hugh]] is seen complaining about her and the hospital. Paige is noticeably frustrated by this.
*Otherwise, Paige has a positive relationship with all patients in the hospital.

'''Ian''' is a character that appears in ''Rhythm Doctor''. He is the primary coder of the Rhythm Doctor program, and he helps the player calibrate their system before handing them over to [[Paige]] to begin [[Samurai Techno]]'s Tutorial. He has a focus in radiology, and appears to work better with computers than people.

== Appearance ==
Ian has tan skin and wears glasses with a light blue tinge to them. He has somewhat messy black hair and is dressed in a white labcoat. Beneath the labcoat, Ian wears a grey shirt, a belt, black pants, and brown shoes. He has been described by others as having 'bloodshot eyes and delicate fingers'.

== Personality ==
Ian is a withdrawn and relatively quiet person. Paige mentions that Ian never partied or [https://twitter.com/RhythmDrGame/status/1528061883483160577 joined any clubs] in med school, which Ian begrudgingly confirms. He tends to steer towards more logical solutions and can come off as sarcastic or dry to others. Ian occasionally makes suggestions that can come off as insensitive as seen in Act 4's introduction, but he does care about others. He is a skilled gamer and has a set of old consoles that he sets up in the cafe at Nicole's persistent request. Ian, like Paige, is consistently overworked by Edega and has a tendency to work very late hours at Middlesea Hospital.

== Relationships ==
* Ian's closest relationship is with '''Doctor Ada [[Paige]].''' The two doctors went to med school together at Middlesea University and have known each other for years. Ian thinks fondly of Ada, and relies on her for patient care as she works easier with Middlesea Hospital's patients. He shows a great deal of concern for Ada.
* Ian is '''Doctor Gabe [[Edega]]''''s subordinate. He appears to be intimidated by Edega and does his best to meet his demands, even if they are unreasonable. He has begun to push back as seen in [[Unsustainable Inconsolable]]'s tutorial, but continues to work under Edega.
* Ian is '''The [[Intern]]''''s senior, and introduces them to the ''Rhythm Doctor'' program. It is implied that he has already forgotten the Intern's name [https://twitter.com/RhythmDrGame/status/1365004969263337472 in this official post], but it isn't clear. He does call the Intern pretty selfless, and compares that trait of theirs to Ada.
* '''Ian's Mother''' has not been seen in the game as of The Act 5 Update, but Ian expresses concern for her health and stated that he had to stay with her while her carer was running late as seen in [[One Shift More]].

Doctor '''Gabriel Edega''' is a character that appears in Rhythm Doctor. He is the head doctor at Middlesea Hospital, and tends to have a cold demeanor when it comes to patient care.

== Appearance ==
Doctor Edega has auburn hair and light skin. He carries around a dark blue clipboard that is obscuring his face at all times. He wears a set of hospital scrubs that are a greenish hue along with a pair of black shoes.

== Personality ==
Doctor Edega appears to have a rather cutthroat approach to managing Middlesea Hospital, as he is quick to insult doctors and nurses that have quit their jobs, even going as far to accuse them of "leaving us to do all the work". He does not seem to mesh very well with the patients, let alone his subordinates Paige and Ian, who all seem to be intimidated or afraid of him. He has a tendency to make pointed comments at the performance of his subordinates, the Intern included. Edega can be spotted silently watching patients from afar, such as in [[The 90's Decision]] and [[Dreams Don't Stop]].

== Relationships ==
* Edega is '''[[Paige]]''''s boss, and treats her with a rather cold nature. He regularly makes comments on how she is performing, and expresses that she isn't doing enough. He has taken special note of how Paige is still struggling with swing-beats in [[Dreams Don't Stop]], and that she constantly is distracted by other patients.
* Edega is '''[[Ian]]''''s boss, and so has a tendency to push responsibilities on him regularly. He has tasked Ian with managing the ''Rhythm Doctor'' program, often pushing for him to take on even more for his workload as seen in Act 5.
* Edega is '''The [[Intern]]''''s boss, and treats them with an air of indifference with the occasional note on their competency. He comments that the Intern is rather nosy for eavesdropping on [[Unsustainable Inconsolable]]'s pre-tutorial conversation. If the Intern completes 5-X's tutorial with little to no mistakes, Edega praises them for their accuracy and tells them that he'll be watching their performance.
* Edega does not appear to be thought of fondly by '''Middlesea Hospital's patients''', as [[Nicole]] comments that he "just scares me". [[Lucky]] initially went along with Edega's proposed plans, but had a turnaround at the end of Act 5 that appeared to have disappointed Edega. Ian even notes that Lucky was the most Edega has ever spoken to a patient, reinforcing that he does not directly deal with the patients himself.

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

It is the fifth and currently final 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.

== 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 have more work to do; the dialogue then transitions into the credits level, [[Helping Hands]].

|-
|[Lucky] Can't sleep...why is my heart racing?
|-
|[Lucky] Do I really care whether they win this pointless match?
|-
|[Lucky] Or does 'coaching' just mean that I'm giving up on my dreams?
|-
|[Interlude]
|-
|[Lucky] Ninth inning, team!
|-
|[Lucky] I know how it feels. Like you're running on an empty tank. That it'd be easier to just let it be over.
|-
|[Lucky] But don't give in.
|-
|[Lucky] Y'know, when you all said you wanted me to coach you...
|-
|[Lucky] ...I thought you were joking. I didn't think you'd stand a chance in a real game, but here you are.
|-
|[Lucky] That's why I've learned never to listen to what coaches have to say. They're usually clueless.
|-
|[Lucky] So listen to me just this once, then never listen to me again!

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

|If we perform the procedure today, you can be back in the pro league by tomorrow morning. No recovery period.

|When I got here, I was dying to get out, but...maybe this place ain't so bad.

|The people are...nice. And persistent.

|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.

|Maybe even better.

|I've spent my whole career trying to make miracles happen on pure grit and determination.

|The intern's work at the baseball game, handling the big flare-up...it gave me a lot of great info.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|I think I've figured it out. It's the rhythm defibrillation system itself that keeps causing the glitches.

|Yeah. Yikes, right? But there's good news! I think we can fix it.

|I mean, you do spew a bunch of techno-jargon at me. And keep me cooped up in bed all the time.

|And, uh, make me eat yogurt and weird vegetable mush.

<poem style="background-color: #faf7ed; padding: 1em;">
[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

== 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.

'''Ian''' is a character that appears in ''Rhythm Doctor''. He is the primary coder of the Rhythm Doctor program, and he helps the player calibrate their system before handing them over to [[Paige]] to begin [[Samurai Techno]]'s Tutorial. He has a focus in radiology, and appears to work better with computers than people.

== Appearance ==
Ian has tan skin and wears glasses with a light blue tinge to them. He has somewhat messy black hair and is dressed in a white labcoat. Beneath the labcoat, Ian wears a grey shirt, a belt, black pants, and brown shoes. He has been described by others as having 'bloodshot eyes and delicate fingers'.

== Personality ==
Ian is a withdrawn and relatively quiet person. Paige mentions that Ian never partied or [https://twitter.com/RhythmDrGame/status/1528061883483160577 joined any clubs] in med school, which Ian begrudgingly confirms. He tends to steer towards more logical solutions and can come off as sarcastic or dry to others. Ian occasionally makes suggestions that can come off as insensitive as seen in Act 4's introduction, but he does care about others. He is a skilled gamer and has a set of old consoles that he sets up in the cafe at Nicole's persistent request. Ian, like Paige, is consistently overworked by Edega and has a tendency to work very late hours at Middlesea Hospital.

== Relationships ==
* Ian's closest relationship is with '''Doctor Ada [[Paige]].''' The two doctors went to med school together at Middlesea University and have known each other for years. Ian thinks fondly of Ada, and relies on her for patient care as she works easier with Middlesea Hospital's patients. He shows a great deal of concern for Ada.
* Ian is '''Doctor Gabe [[Edega]]''''s subordinate. He appears to be intimidated by Edega and does his best to meet his demands, even if they are unreasonable. He has begun to push back as seen in [[Unsustainable Inconsolable]]'s tutorial, but continues to work under Edega.
* Ian is '''The [[Intern]]''''s senior, and introduces them to the ''Rhythm Doctor'' program. It is implied that he has already forgotten the Intern's name [https://twitter.com/RhythmDrGame/status/1365004969263337472 in this official post], but it isn't clear. He does call the Intern pretty selfless, and compares that trait of theirs to Ada.
* '''Ian's Mother''' has not been seen in the game as of The Act 5 Update, but Ian expresses concern for her health and stated that he had to stay with her while her carer was running late as seen in [[One Shift More]].

* [[Dreams Don't Stop]]

== History ==
*

== Trivia ==
* Ian, as of the Act 5 update, is currently one of the few characters in ''Rhythm Doctor'' to not be treated directly in a procedure. The other characters are [[Edega]], [[Farmer]], [[Janitor]], the [[Nurse]], and Doctor Spider.
* Ian is playable in '''[[Run Ian Run]],''' an endless runner browser game. The game is still playable and shows him in his old sprites.
* Ian uses the Expert Button, alluding to how he created the ''Rhythm Doctor'' program and knows the most about how it works.
* Ian supposedly has a Platinum rank in at least three different obscure online games.
* Ian is 27 years old, as stated in his character description.
