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. 650Please respect copyright.PENANATeVbZSlxa2

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)650Please respect copyright.PENANAsmHfdik8Ux
Are we going to have another Jerry on our650Please respect copyright.PENANAcyG9D95IR5

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. 650Please respect copyright.PENANAxAHrBEyIei

(with a sigh)650Please respect copyright.PENANAc7VHvFmNkb
Yeah.650Please respect copyright.PENANAM7KWiZbAtl
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. 650Please respect copyright.PENANAL0eChd5zUw

One hundred and one dilemmas a day, Athe.650Please respect copyright.PENANAmqdnLZ23bT
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. 650Please respect copyright.PENANAvz1PnXzdo8

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene650Please respect copyright.PENANA58xnvcBdI9

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. 650Please respect copyright.PENANAEdioWbhqeg
FREDRICK650Please respect copyright.PENANAZFa1jDI3f1
It's not that I was a part of the culture, Athe.650Please respect copyright.PENANARvDbgWMVZm

Because I'm making it personal. 650Please respect copyright.PENANAo5gy6JCkcA
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.650Please respect copyright.PENANAf53uVzzM35
