Funny thing about the Drift. While Yancy himself can see how someone would call this candy foul, he can't completely agree with the sentiment. Sure, it tastes like crap to him. But Raleigh likes it. There's a response to it that's left over, not from him but from his brother, that finds the taste comforting and familiar.

All the same, he has to agree with this kid that his brother has some shitty taste in comfort foods. Yancy chews his and swallows it with a minor grimace. No expectorating on PPDC property, dude. You're going to have to handle that in some other way, unless you happened to bring a napkin along with you for emergencies.

"Yeah, it's something else. Ya know, I've had worse, though. Ever try the sugar free stuff? Now that's an aftertaste."
