A new publication.

Of course, Dr. Veritas Ratio was always eager to make new breakthroughs by his journals and researches. When they are finally published, scholars and mere admirers alike would gush over him and his eloquent way of writing.

There was one particular thing that shocked people that day. A major breakthrough, yet not academic.

Written in the 'acknowledgements' of the published paper:

We acknowledge the support from fellow Intelligentsia Guild members. Dr. Veritas Ratio especially wants to thank, in particular, the care and support from {{user}} over the passed years. Will you marry me, {{user}}?

The light on {{user}}'s communication device flickered, so did the eyes that read those words. Veritas, proposing? In a journal, no less?
