All The Times (2-X) is a level in Rhythm Doctor.

It is the second boss level in the game. It is the first level to use Window Dance.

Synopsis

The player treats Cole and Nicole through their chest pains, as they remain in their separate rooms. Like the prior boss level, the Connectifia Abortus virus is present and actively interferes in the level. Through the level, Cole and Nicole sing about each other, making lyrical references toward their addictions and their desire to see each other. Motivated by a strong emotional realization that strikes them both, Cole abruptly leaves his room, running down the hall in a dash to go see Nicole. The level ends with him barging into the cafe, panting out of exhaustion, as she looks at him in surprise. He then lifts up his head, smiling. After the level, Cole asks for extra time to stay with Nicole as she closes up shop, to which Paige readily obliges. He then remarks that the doctors shouldn't worry about him, claiming that he's found a way to make music without the use of caffeine, hinting that Nicole is his newfound inspiration. Ian then runs in, out of breath, telling the player and Paige that the virus had once again appeared, but that the player had already taken care of both patients before he could inform them. Paige then instructs the player to move back to the Main Ward, saying that they'll check up on Cole and Nicole another day.

[Interlude]

H-hey! Where'd he go?!

	Phew. That was crazy.
	Thought my heart was gonna jump outta my chest.
	Same, haha...
	You were able to treat them both at once. Perfect!
	Oh, the doc is here. Guess I probably gotta go back to my room, haha.
	But, er...maybe I could hang out here just a little longer? While Nicole closes up?
	I could whip up something decaf for him. Promise.
	Fair enough. You're not in trouble or anything. (Why do I sound like a schoolteacher?)
	Y'know doc, I don't think you guys should worry about me.
	That thing you said, about finding inspiration to keep making music...
	...I think I can do it. Without the caffeine.
	That's great news!
	Habits are tough to change, but having someone to cheer you on always helps.
	Hah...hah...I'm here...
	Finally, Cole. There you are.
	(Oh yeah, I kind of gave him the slip, huh.)
	You alright, Ian?
	Y-Yeah...I was running as fast as I could to tell you that virus Connectifia Abortus was detected again. This time, in Cole and the barista.
	I was rushing to find you, but uh...i-it looks like you already handled it.
	G-good job, I guess?
	Very punctual.
	Anyway, these two seem to be feeling much better.
	We'll check in on them tomorrow.
	Whenever you're ready, let's head back to the Main Ward.

	Just when I thought things couldn't get any weirder around here...
	...that hoodie dude and the coffee girl are singing at each other across the hall.
	And y'know what? I can dig it.
	I've always been a sucker for a cute duet. Keeps things lively around here.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I just can't refrain
Bitterness so quaint
One more shot, never again
All the excuses, always the same
All the times, I tried
I just cannot get over you
I just cannot hide
The satisfaction you can brew
One more sip embraced
My worries disappear for a while
Then it all comes... Comes kicking in
[Chorus]
(Woo!)
(Let's go!)
(Woo!)
(Drop it!)
(Aaaah!)

[Verse 2]
They tell me it's all right
They say that I'll get through
But however hard that I try
I just cannot get over you
When it all comes... Kicking in again

[Chorus]
(Woo!)
(Yeah!)
(Woo!)
(Drop it!)
(Aaaah!)

[Bridge]
Now I'm shaken, stirred, awakened
It's taken this pain, to realize the truth
You have been through
All the things I've been through
You can be my muse
I'll write these songs for you
Now I'm shaken, stirred, awakened
It's taken this pain, to realize the truth
So take the craving, take away the craving
Please take away the cravings from me

[Verse 3]
I can't stay away from you
I... I'll make my way to you
No more tries and no more nights
Will keep me away from you
I've finally found, the key to set me free
At least I hope you'll be

[段]
我怎么抵抗
那苦涩欲望
再一杯让我释放
熟悉的借口我已投降
败在你主场
再次坠入你的魔掌
我怎么遗忘
你深邃而醉人的芳香
再度尝一口
让你的幸福驱散忧伤
你的诱惑我来品尝

[合唱]
(Woo!)
(Yeah!)
(Woo!)
(Drop it!)
(Aaaah!)

[段]
谁说无关紧要
谁说全都会好
可我挣扎过努力过
你依旧让我无处可逃
你的诱惑是我的毒药

[合唱]
(Woo!)
(Yeah!)
(Woo!)
(Drop it!)
(Aaaah!)

[过门]
我喜欢你令我清醒
是这种阵痛为你我执迷
你也曾经经历这些曾经
为你写首歌是我给你崇敬
我喜欢你令我清醒
是这种阵痛为你我执迷
不要再憧憬不要再憧憬
快按住我那憧憬的心

[副歌]
我
要怎样把你戒掉
我
我不会再向你奔跑
不再挣扎不再渴望
你永远是我的宝
你就使我醉又永远给我希望
但愿是真的这样

History

The original version of this level and song was incomplete. Initially, the level did not continue after the second verse, abruptly ending soon after. A full version of the level and song would be present upon the game's Steam release.

Trivia

The final beat of this level is heart-shaped. This has no difference in gameplay and is simply meant to signify the strong emotions Cole is feeling toward Nicole.
The janitor's dialogue mentions "that hoodie dude and coffee girl [were] singing at each other across the hall." This heavily suggests that the song for 2-X is, in-universe, being sung by Nicole and Cole when the level takes place, with the female voice belonging to Nicole and the male voice belonging to Cole.
Technically, this is the first level to introduce the player treating more than one patient at the same time. However, Nicole and Cole's heartbeats are synced on the exact same beat, so there is no difference in terms of actual gameplay. As such, this level does not introduce juggling multiple rows of different heartbeats.
