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. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAStDAWrvJRt

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

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)731Please respect copyright.PENANAUpuBMOuPdl
Are we going to have another Jerry on our731Please respect copyright.PENANAiFUyRTSrRC

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. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAmewMbEMJuc

(with a sigh)731Please respect copyright.PENANAcjSfyfD666
Yeah.731Please respect copyright.PENANAG2wz29hQ1p
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. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAOIyawb8hQr
ATHOL731Please respect copyright.PENANAHo2lnkQ25S

One hundred and one dilemmas a day, Athe.731Please respect copyright.PENANAE84v17lEOB
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. 731Please respect copyright.PENANA1lvPCHICp1

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene731Please respect copyright.PENANAEm9GPhqosF
in your youth, weren't ya?731Please respect copyright.PENANA6Zeen3u8bq
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. 731Please respect copyright.PENANAWqzC0emjhY
FREDRICK731Please respect copyright.PENANA2Tyq1e7Yz1
It's not that I was a part of the culture, Athe.731Please respect copyright.PENANARtodNodkeZ

Because I'm making it personal. 731Please respect copyright.PENANA6mlD50pyeZ
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.731Please respect copyright.PENANAtJtMIEWBVs
