Panel 1:

[The Asterism and Pilcrow are in a kitchen in the Black Manor in their bird-headed humanoid forms of a three-eyed flamingo and crow. Pilcrow is in a tan suit and orange turtleneck. The Asterism is wearing an oversized sweater and leggings, and she's holding a strange teal bowl of food.]

Pilcrow: "Whatchya eating?"

The Asterism: "This delicacy embodies the essence of the universe, a flavor beyond mortal ken."

Panel 2:

[Pilcrow, skeptically observing, comments.]

Pilcrow: "Beyond mortal ken? Sounds like an overpriced hipster snack."

Panel 3:

The Asterism: "It tastes like the sorrow of a thousand ancient stars coalescing into the weight of a thousand lifetimes in a single bite."

Panel 4:

Pilcrow: "So, it's like eating a bowl of 'Monday morning'? Ew."
