The nurses had been keeping an eye on the situation since the argument had started, though they hadn't stepped in out of hope that it would not come to that. After all, it wasn't unusual for patients to become over-excited when seeing family and friends again. Unfortunately it seemed that Frank was more than just overly-excited, suddenly throwing himself across the table to attack his poor grandfather. A nurse who had been keeping an eye on the situation quickly signalled one of the nearby orderlies and both of them converged on Frank, the orderly gently but firmly restraining him as the nurse prepared a sedative.

"Frank! Your grandfather came all this way to visit you, and this is how you behave around him?" she chided. The orderly held the struggling boy still as she administered the sedative. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Wilhelm. Frank has been a bit difficult, but we had hoped that seeing you would be good for him. We never thought he would suddenly attack you like that."
