The nurse quickly changes the channel. The HAPPY DAYS THEME SONG replaces the droll voice of the anchor. Athol glares at the TV, fuming.

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. 687Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8n4TKdKHr

(with a sigh)687Please respect copyright.PENANAe6CSOspdOr
Yeah.687Please respect copyright.PENANAVjuBcsotTm
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. 687Please respect copyright.PENANA2s8SjAWIzf

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. 687Please respect copyright.PENANAIZR098zu5s

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene687Please respect copyright.PENANAnTrCek39mX

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. 687Please respect copyright.PENANAwsQf29gi8F

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.687Please respect copyright.PENANA5Y5AmhmbDi
