Nurse ATHOL, a Scottish immigrant, works on a word search. One of her co-workers turns on the TV, and she looks up as the news turns on. 635Please respect copyright.PENANAGaUIBnoQZj

a group of teenage assailants. Officials 635Please respect copyright.PENANAcTtELaEzIn

a hate crime as the couple are considered635Please respect copyright.PENANANDpESG4kso

Athol snorts at the anchor's lack of care, breaking the tip of her pencil in frustration.

I said shut it off!635Please respect copyright.PENANACYl0CjSs3M
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)635Please respect copyright.PENANAjd80YLqLTo
Are we going to have another Jerry on our635Please respect copyright.PENANA6KzAIdgkc3
hands?635Please respect copyright.PENANAsAZ83jpCCD
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. 635Please respect copyright.PENANAjgPVpdJPXw

(with a sigh)635Please respect copyright.PENANAx88OLB1oBl
Yeah.635Please respect copyright.PENANAINjZzawdf3
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. 635Please respect copyright.PENANAEqRiOCEfHz
ATHOL635Please respect copyright.PENANArQg7N6WgD0

One hundred and one dilemmas a day, Athe.635Please respect copyright.PENANAhEkUzjcWWS
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. 635Please respect copyright.PENANAW1fvNoNusS

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene635Please respect copyright.PENANALySg3FzuF7
in your youth, weren't ya?635Please respect copyright.PENANAJz18fyykWA
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. 635Please respect copyright.PENANASHFxiRAcIa
FREDRICK635Please respect copyright.PENANAc8IamSqRR9
It's not that I was a part of the culture, Athe.635Please respect copyright.PENANAfJjAjXrLA0

Because I'm making it personal. 635Please respect copyright.PENANAVUj2Fs3szp
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.635Please respect copyright.PENANAhJ6T2x2sWJ
