The following is part of a scene which I'm planning to put into Aikan Muyo 
Chapter#11. It builds on Washuu's "love is chemistry, sex is physics, 
kinkyness is engineering" comment in Chapter#8. It's been quite a few 
years since I took chem class, so I'd appreciate it it someone who's more 
competent in the subject would take a look at this and tell me if I'm 
having Washuu commit any significant scientific errors in her metaphor. I 
do *not* want to make the universe's greatest genius sound like an idiot.

	Very good. Very funny, too. :) And an excellent point: one
electron between the two won't do it. Truth, though, is that most stable
bonds, whether ionic or covalent, involve energy releases--not just
covalent ones.
	Man, you are doing a great job on this story. It's a lemon with
plot, purpose, and rampant symbolism! Cool stuff! :)
