I said shut it off!613Please respect copyright.PENANANcFD5NToBH
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)613Please respect copyright.PENANAE4bM6c0Rbt
Are we going to have another Jerry on our613Please respect copyright.PENANAOgufOif8H5

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. 613Please respect copyright.PENANAawIhCkz0j6

(with a sigh)613Please respect copyright.PENANAD2envIy3hj
Yeah.613Please respect copyright.PENANAOt4TJDDMuN
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. 613Please respect copyright.PENANAnluNfzXuY0
ATHOL613Please respect copyright.PENANAQGUBQWasm7

One hundred and one dilemmas a day, Athe.613Please respect copyright.PENANAEJ4jSvP5OM
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. 613Please respect copyright.PENANAxyNTLcU1fR

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene613Please respect copyright.PENANAgotBukARVt
in your youth, weren't ya?613Please respect copyright.PENANAXU3JaFX2Jd
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. 613Please respect copyright.PENANA2BjVr1poJO
FREDRICK613Please respect copyright.PENANAze7bzDZ4vm
It's not that I was a part of the culture, Athe.613Please respect copyright.PENANApkXYYY9SdG

Because I'm making it personal. 613Please respect copyright.PENANAtplYtK5lk1
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.613Please respect copyright.PENANAqdd1KeQuAB
