'''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.

|Good morning!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=conversing}}
|We've been able to keep Mark stable and confortable 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=happywalking}}
|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=happywalking}}
|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=happywalking}}
|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-
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I'll be getting it in high doses in a minute, I might as well know what I'm getting into.
|-
|{{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!
|} 
::''Some misses:''
::{|
|{{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/Mark}}
|Well done!
|}
{|
|{{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!
|} 
::''Some misses:''
::{|
|{{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!

|Imagine my surprise when the new patient wallowing in the dusty old Records Room was Mark Booker!

|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 Pligrim'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!
