Medicine Pocket

An identity card given to every researcher by Laplace. There is nothing strange or special about the layout and the color. The card is placed in a metal coated silicone case and attached to magnetic button. The interviewee has put a sticker on it and finds that "humorous."

A set of personal items that the interviewee rarely leaves home without, including glasses, special latex gloves, and various research tools. Inspiration is always present, much like the constant movement of the universe, which is why it's important to have the necessary tools readily available at all times.

An "unusual" syringe.

Its casing is cast from lightweight alloy. The interviewee prepares the solution—a mixture of mercury, sulfur, and small amounts of purified chemical extracts.

The writer noticed a tube connected to the rear of the syringe. When asked about its purpose, they explained: the formula requires their blood as a base. They have conducted this experiment hundreds of times already.

A pair of durable and breathable white gloves brought from the interviewee's hometown. With these gloves, the interviewee can safely make contact with all kinds of potions during their act of sabotage.

A medal and commemorative pen awarded by an academy in recognition of the interviewee's outstanding achievements in biological research. The interviewee cares little for them, although the pen's smooth writing and the gold medal's chewy texture are much appreciated.

A gauntlet cast from base metal alloys. Intricate mechanisms are embedded within, capable of responding to heart rate and skin temperature.

This gauntlet once caused an accident—the spare metal on the laboratory bench instantly liquefied.

"Need to adjust the sulfur ratio—more than the mercury, less than the salt. Lower body temperature below normal readings. Then it will be perfect," the interviewee wrote.

A sophisticated device connecting the interviewee's body and their wand. After the interviewee takes their medicine, it monitors their physical condition and draws their fluids (blood, sweat, tear, etc.) for analysis. Besides, it can also congeal the fluids into bullets which will be fired by the wand in battle.

These wool socks are known for their affordable price and long-lasting quality. "To maintain a certain level of f**king decorum at formal occasions," the interviewee chooses to wear sock garters with them.

Multiple badges pinned to the interviewee's waist and chest, engraved with different arcane symbols representing enlightenment and ...

"No one cares what those things actually mean," the interviewee cut in. "But they've got a nice bite to them. Want to try?"

Since the badges' material remains unverified, the writer strongly advises readers against imitating this peculiar habit ...

There are imaginary friends, toy friends, animal friends ...

People always need friends, but if you are looking for a best friend, literally the best one, don't forget what they say—

"Dogs are man's best friend."

Friends do many things for you: they keep you company, listen to you, encourage you, and even go on great adventures with you.

The white van from the University of Utah stopped in front of the kennel. The female owner of the kennel opened the envelope and took out the juicy paycheck. She wouldn't miss those noisy dogs, nor did she care about how many people the new medicines would save once they passed the clinical trials conducted on those dogs. Even though she ran the family business well and had earned a good name, she cared nothing about those things.

Money was the only thing that made her happy.

She needed it badly, because she had a child with physical deformity to raise. She had to make enough money for the child's operation so the child could become an "ordinary person."

But today is different. Today is an unusual day.

"Bye, mom."

As agile as usual, her child got into the white van without looking back. That van had taken away countless almost-weaned puppies from their mothers, and on this day, it was doing the same thing to her.

Pandora Wilson: Could you tell me about ...?

Medicine Pocket: The difficulties and something interesting or impressive that I encountered when I developed the Picrasma Candy, right?

Pandora Wilson: No, that's not what I was going to ask.

Pandora Wilson: I was wondering if you could talk about your hometown and childhood. According to the file, you come from a kennel in Utah that breeds experimental dogs.

Pandora Wilson: Did the experience of breeding experimental dogs in childhood lead to your current research methods?

Medicine Pocket: You know me well.

Pandora Wilson: It's my job.

Medicine Pocket: Well, actually things are much simpler than you think. It's not a result of masochism, and you will find my approach lacks rationality.

Medicine Pocket: I'm just born with talent. It is in my brain and my blood.

Medicine Pocket: I choose to use it instead of concealing it. That's it.

Medicine Pocket: Many may have benefitted from it, and some lives have been saved, but ... that's not what I do it for, you understand?

Pandora Wilson: You are very "self-concerned," as many people think.

Pandora Wilson: But I think it's a marvelous approach to life. You own it, and no one can take it away from you. It's just like real fashion.

Pandora Wilson: You are paving your own way.
