I said shut it off!685Please respect copyright.PENANA6WhY5P0CXf
The nurse quickly changes the channel. The HAPPY DAYS THEME SONG replaces the droll voice of the anchor. Athol glares at the TV, fuming.
FREDRICK (O.S)685Please respect copyright.PENANAbvmxeTM0fS
Are we going to have another Jerry on our685Please respect copyright.PENANAkO73G3S3C1

Athol turns and sees a grim-looking, though smiling Fredrick. He sits across from her, and exhaling exasperatedly lets her pencil flop onto the table. 685Please respect copyright.PENANA40J4hdA7og

(with a sigh)685Please respect copyright.PENANA19NzNEnBgA
Yeah.685Please respect copyright.PENANABwXLsZNvjP
Athol sighs herself and rolls her head back. Fredrick fiddles with his coat before reaching over and taking Athol's word search, continuing from where she left off. Athol looks back at him curiously. 685Please respect copyright.PENANAhghLocWf90
ATHOL685Please respect copyright.PENANAwwasWnk27K

One hundred and one dilemmas a day, Athe.685Please respect copyright.PENANAsYAmbXCDyn
Athol suddenly throws her pencil at him, hitting him square on the head. He looks up, surprised. Athol's sitting back in her chair with crossed arms. 685Please respect copyright.PENANAvmPqDQut72

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene685Please respect copyright.PENANAPmiOKDZkfW
in your youth, weren't ya?685Please respect copyright.PENANAcSEgKPcxLU
Fredrick stands and walks to the window, rubbing the hem of his coat. Athol frowns, shakes her head slightly, and walks over to him, rubbing his back and leaning against him. Fredrick doesn't look at her. 685Please respect copyright.PENANAB1i5VYQ6zP
FREDRICK685Please respect copyright.PENANAOmeP5HEAIr
It's not that I was a part of the culture, Athe.685Please respect copyright.PENANAzX5GJyQWzT

Because I'm making it personal. 685Please respect copyright.PENANAQqTNlxXKQM
Athol frowns, then kisses his cheek and takes her leave, leaving the doctor to his thoughts. Fredrick stares blankly after her until she's out of sight, then walks down a hall to Sophie's room.685Please respect copyright.PENANAOuqCutD2Qy
