ATKINS: Thank you for the very interesting presentation. Does this only pertains to Vitae-Mors containing fluids?
JOHANNSON: Potentially not, but since the opposite-attraction is the strongest between the two, it is easiest to observe in such materials. (pause) Yes?
VELON: I'm Josepine Velon, from earlier today. If I am understanding this right, then this phenomenon is only present at certain temperatures, correct?
JOHANNSON: Correct. On higher temperatures, the heat energy overcomes any opposite-attraction forces, and the self-aligning property is lost. Any more questions?

JOHANNSON: I sense something is on your mind?
RAVARI: Ah, nothing significant. Just, about my late uncle again, and what has happened to him, now that I am within the mainstream of the alchemy...
JOHANNSON: It is unfortunate that your uncle had done it.
RAVARI: He only wanted the best for house Colvan. He is not the kind of person who would do it.
RAVARI: I know for sure that he was framed by a jealous rival.
JOHANNSON: Let's hope the same does not happen to you then.
