I said shut it off!653Please respect copyright.PENANAO2TMS3juQe
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)653Please respect copyright.PENANAdbA48lkyyM
Are we going to have another Jerry on our653Please respect copyright.PENANAUnPvvoTtR6

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. 653Please respect copyright.PENANA7YOOP91jdk

(with a sigh)653Please respect copyright.PENANAyKflTd1HnC
Yeah.653Please respect copyright.PENANACH7cBMeQXz
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. 653Please respect copyright.PENANAUEX40AxLnO

One hundred and one dilemmas a day, Athe.653Please respect copyright.PENANAoTcYUccj02
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. 653Please respect copyright.PENANA4vla9NVe0k

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene653Please respect copyright.PENANAFpaVP659y2

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. 653Please respect copyright.PENANAYh3EiuAaFQ
FREDRICK653Please respect copyright.PENANA09fuxJYPey

Because I'm making it personal. 653Please respect copyright.PENANA3VwjCPVTbf
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.653Please respect copyright.PENANAeyj5V19pmO
