Doomposting Goblins About delusion

I've been tracking the goblin connection to delusion for years. Every time I get close to the truth, my keys disappear. This is not a coincidence.

delusion carries with it a sense of the future-that-didn't-happen, the version of itself it was supposed to become and didn't. Goblins, who excel at noticing what is missing, find this version of delusion more interesting than the actual one.
