[The sound is muffled, like the NV is being pressed into some sheets. Which it is.]

--should be laying down. I'll give you another--

I don't think so. If you want to make yourself useful, get me some more ice and see to it that the air conditioner finally gets fixed.

[There is a longer, hesitant pause.]

Sorry, sir, but that's the prescription.

Heh. Sounds pretty stressful, although I can't tell who's more stressed, you or the nursing staff.

I'm not stupid, you realise. [Sigh.] It does quite disturb me also, but you seem to have overtaken my role, so I might as well take on yours.

Voice // Private

[heavendivided]

I didn't say that. Switching roles, huh? Fine, dad.

...

It was a reference to you calling me unreasonable.

[There's an audible noise at the last word, but whether it's angry or not is hard to tell, since it's hard to make out.]

Don't call me that.

Voice // Private

[heavendivided]

I know that. You're still doing a good job at taking over the father role; not like I didn't expect you to anyway while I am away.

Voice // Private

[ysobritish]

Ah- [He's not quite sure what to say. Congratulations, Big Boss. You muted the motormouth of the family.]

Voice // Private

[heavendivided]

Is that a problem?

Voice // Private

[ysobritish]

Ah, no, not at all.
