I said shut it off!713Please respect copyright.PENANAs1VWLBxGbD
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)713Please respect copyright.PENANAHK1n9zccA0
Are we going to have another Jerry on our713Please respect copyright.PENANAeVGBOnGEJk

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. 713Please respect copyright.PENANAijDQRW86Iu

(with a sigh)713Please respect copyright.PENANAtU7iy0Rv1t
Yeah.713Please respect copyright.PENANAw5qBQbARQz
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. 713Please respect copyright.PENANAbll8ISnWDT

One hundred and one dilemmas a day, Athe.713Please respect copyright.PENANAzefdVn0vRs
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. 713Please respect copyright.PENANAIUQBbRFSa7

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene713Please respect copyright.PENANAnENraH67Xw

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. 713Please respect copyright.PENANAWGGv1f1L7L
FREDRICK713Please respect copyright.PENANAUem0vXOznJ

Because I'm making it personal. 713Please respect copyright.PENANAXn5f9TDUxk
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.713Please respect copyright.PENANAeIwrAPLIBK
