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)476Please respect copyright.PENANA0eMUv1ZCQg

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. 476Please respect copyright.PENANAvXvQA6MZcb

(with a sigh)476Please respect copyright.PENANAHhH7ycuETn
Yeah.476Please respect copyright.PENANAL2F9kwRsHT
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. 476Please respect copyright.PENANAIBNS9dMtMu

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. 476Please respect copyright.PENANA9qxUNPwFBj

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene476Please respect copyright.PENANAlfYb7SJyQ7

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. 476Please respect copyright.PENANAGI92GAxZFh
FREDRICK476Please respect copyright.PENANATr8xzB9W0j

Because I'm making it personal. 476Please respect copyright.PENANA5QC6PHMpe0
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.476Please respect copyright.PENANA0J44q4sCPe
