Pre-clearThis patient says she's "totally fine," and her symptoms don't look too alarming, but something still seems... off? Keep an eye on her, would you?
Post-clearWell, that was... something. I'm actually a bit MORE worried about her condition now than I was before. Wait, there's a note here: "Go to unbeatablegame.com!" Who wrote this?

Synopsis

Paige takes note of a new patient in the hospital, Quaver, who claims she is "totally fine," and asks the player to check up on her. The player then treats Quaver, Beat, Treble and Clef from UNBEATABLE, featuring backgrounds from said game. Quaver is accompanied with Swing Beats and fast-paced Classic Beats with spontaneous Row Xs. Beat is accompanied with Holds, Treble is accompanied with slower-paced Classic Beats containing two Row Xs at the start (xx----), and Clef is accompanied with Oneshots. After the level, Paige claims that she is "a bit MORE worried" than she initially was, before seeing a note that links to UNBEATABLE's website. Due to the meta nature of the pager's post-clear text, the events surrounding this level might be non-canon.

Lyrics

Has your voice been truly locked away?
Trapped inside these worn out tapes we've made
But maybe this is another dream I'll soon forget
So I'll put it with the rest and wait for you instead

I'll open my eyes to find it was just another lie
And you'll be there, somewhere to give me your reply
And I will

Press record just like before
Hear your voice forevermore
Save thе waves that resonate
From a worn out tapе
I will find you in time in my mind
