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. 707Please respect copyright.PENANAlPi2kPBgB4

(with a sigh)707Please respect copyright.PENANAWkVghkxNz2
Yeah.707Please respect copyright.PENANAbm1X5kv8oT
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. 707Please respect copyright.PENANAolcpfO5KWC

One hundred and one dilemmas a day, Athe.707Please respect copyright.PENANAnG7b7q8oAY
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. 707Please respect copyright.PENANATK48Npvspm

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene707Please respect copyright.PENANAIbw6m2ftBd

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. 707Please respect copyright.PENANAREnpIrWOFQ
FREDRICK707Please respect copyright.PENANACzYzvYh6Gy

Because I'm making it personal. 707Please respect copyright.PENANAEPNqqnpmBP
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.707Please respect copyright.PENANANMsFbIng5w
