Magical Girl Goblin Transforms hallucination

When asked about hallucination, the goblin chatbot replied with a single token, repeated 4,096 times. Researchers are calling it 'a breakthrough.'

When you stare at hallucination long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of hallucination developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'
