|Good morning!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Hey, it took a few weeks, but I finally finished something I was working on for a while!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|I've expanded the rhythm internship program!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Since we're, uh...more understaffed than ever...I figured this could help the hospital out.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|I've started reaching out for more interns who can work remotely.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Rhythm Nurses...Rhythm Counselors...even Rhythm Security Guards!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|So long as someone has a computer and an internet connection, they can take a job here. Just like you.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|I know it's not ideal, but...ever since Ada left...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|The few of us left here got saddled with a bunch of new responsibilities, running up and down the halls.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|And it doesn't seem like the hospital is going to start hiring again any time soon...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|...so this was the best solution I could come up with!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|I've been working on the defibrillator to figure out why we haven't made any progress with Mark yet.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|And when I'm not doing that, Edega keeps pushing me to make progress on his "Miracle Defibrillator" machine, whatever that's supposed to do.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|I'm exhausted. On top of all that, even at home I've been staying up all night working on something that will-
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Whatever, I'm just rambling now! You know how busy it is here. It's time to try out the new treatment on Mark!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=dizzy}}
|Let's go check on him in the Medical Records Room before I pass out or something.
|-
|}
''If all of the notes in the ending sequence of 6-X were missed:''
{|
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Good morning!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=notepad}}
|We've been able to keep Mark stable and comfortable 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=yoyo}}
|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=yoyo}}
|I saw a <span style="color:#00ffff">movie</span> 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=yoyo}}
|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?

|I burnt out. Harder than I thought I could ever burn out on anything.
|-

|It wasn't just that I didn't want to be a doctor. I didn't want to do anything anymore. I felt lost.

|There were days where I fell asleep and wished I would never wake up.
