More Important than a Diamond Ring

This ring isn't a diamond, but it looks doggone good to me! But... will I be able to make Le Tierre happy down the road?

Maybe she's tired of me. Maybe she's falling for J. He's so ruggedly handsome and exciting. Will you find out what she's thinking?

Le Tierre still wants me?!

Uh, yeeeah! Go propose to her RIGHT NOW!

But I've been so busy in the lab that I haven't showered in a week. Should I clean myself up first? No, I can't make Le Tierre wait a single moment longer!

I'll set her free, if that's what she wants. Please, give her this ring and tell her I'm okay with whatever decision she makes.

How can I propose? It's like dooming her to a life of poverty...

I'm okay with whatever decision she makes.
