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. 649Please respect copyright.PENANAky3JRh432I

(with a sigh)649Please respect copyright.PENANAc7cjBZnOfu
Yeah.649Please respect copyright.PENANABn5YjjbFi7
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. 649Please respect copyright.PENANA2JCdJ854Xa

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. 649Please respect copyright.PENANAy4nH309uNf

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene649Please respect copyright.PENANAnjjkFt6JQw

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. 649Please respect copyright.PENANAUhd2fGh8uF
FREDRICK649Please respect copyright.PENANAkvRZpZ3rPs

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.649Please respect copyright.PENANAmn4iaa8ADf
