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. 654Please respect copyright.PENANAsoq2HtDwQe

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

I said shut it off!654Please respect copyright.PENANABJBfOTQeH9
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)654Please respect copyright.PENANAB7nmdBHdyt
Are we going to have another Jerry on our654Please respect copyright.PENANA8jj1jVy8pV

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. 654Please respect copyright.PENANANqjrfCEZa4

(with a sigh)654Please respect copyright.PENANAebqZIdwPvK
Yeah.654Please respect copyright.PENANAK4S3l2KzFl
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. 654Please respect copyright.PENANA8FAO5co92h

One hundred and one dilemmas a day, Athe.654Please respect copyright.PENANALN1zQ8Cjwb
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. 654Please respect copyright.PENANA3GUUrSaIoa

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene654Please respect copyright.PENANAESvRfC8XBx
in your youth, weren't ya?654Please respect copyright.PENANADvFI8Yx4Lb
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. 654Please respect copyright.PENANAFHjxAnfZL0
FREDRICK654Please respect copyright.PENANAp2M74DsyBF
It's not that I was a part of the culture, Athe.654Please respect copyright.PENANAW29hppnJ0h

Because I'm making it personal. 654Please respect copyright.PENANASF9VIXJ7kC
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.654Please respect copyright.PENANApuckTjDtCk
