"It's almost like...slightly more solid chuchu jelly," Sidon marveled, mostly to himself, poking at the marshmallow with a sharp nail and watching how it stuck, how the puncture in the soft substance stayed for a while then slowly seemed to pull itself back to its previous shape. He could only laugh again. "Marvelous!"

And, taking Ringo's advice, he popped the marshmallow into his mouth, chewing on it thoughtfully. And chewing. And chewing. Finally, he swallowed.

"Why, it's absolutely wonderful! Amazing! I have truly never tasted anything like it before in my life!"
