Three nerds (FFXIV characters) sit around in a classroom in Sharlayan's Studium. Mikoto Jinba (a raen woman wearing the signature garb of tenured scholars with her hair half up) is reading a book, T'laqa Tia (a seeker miqo'te in the same garb) is writing something on a chalkboard), while Moku (the Warrior of Light) sits on a desk and yaps about her adventures for her aetherology enjoyer partners to enjoy and record.
In this picture, Moku is saying: "...so then he showed me this weird ass poster and explained that on the First, they see Darkness (or Umbral aether) as the condensed energy of life itself, while Light (or Astral) aether is stabilizing-"
A similar shot as the last picture, but now the camera is from the perspective of the chalkboard, giving a good view of T'laqa and Mikoto's faces.
T'laqa is saying: "Wait! Does that mean that the shifts in the marine population in the Final Days is due to unbalanced life aether? No wonder that whale got beached-"
A similar shot, but this time the camera is behind Moku, allowing a better view of her different outfit and strange glowing marks around her scales.
Mikoto speaks over T'laqa in excitement: "That would explain why Moen's white auracite was able to completely stagnate the living aether of ascians to trap the-"
The two professors' words fade out as Moku just smiles dumbly at them both.
