8-SECOND — BOILED ETHER SLUG SUSHI

0–1s
Live Ether Slugs writhing on wooden cutting board. Full bioluminescent glow pulsing. Iridescent skin undulating.

1–2s
Chef's hand positions spike. Quick ikejime strike between segments. Slugs freeze mid-writhe.

2–3s
Eyes snap to X_X. Glow stutters twice, then dims to faint ember. Bodies go limp.

3–4s
Chopsticks lift slugs. Held above rolling boil. Steam rises thick. Suspended moment.

4–5s
Slugs dropped into water. Violent bubbling. Color drains vivid to pale pearl. Complete stillness.

5–6s
Retrieved with slotted spoon. Laid on clean board. Residual steam. Opaque flesh, faint sheen.

6–7s
X_X expression locked in death. Iridescence completely faded. Steam dissipates slowly.

7–8s
Final placement. Chef's hand withdraws. Boiled slugs cooling. Silence. Preparation complete.
