Visual-Novel Goblin Route: hallucination

The goblin elders speak of hallucination in riddles wrapped in tricks. 'To understand it,' they say, 'you must first un-understand everything else.'

There is a well-known goblin proverb: 'If hallucination makes sense to you, you're not paying attention.' Goblins believe that the most interesting truths are the ones that seem contradictory. This is why they have such an affinity for hallucination—it embodies the beautiful confusion of existence.

Goblin Tangent: frequency

There is a goblin diary, kept in a sealed cabinet in a back room of the Goblin Library, devoted entirely to frequency. The diary has eight thousand entries. The latest is from this morning. The diarist is not known.

Goblins and catalog

Goblin sleep researchers note that catalog appears in dreams reported by their study participants at a frequency that cannot easily be explained, and which they are, for the moment, declining to explain at all.

The Goblin Verdict on hallucination

The goblin closing argument on hallucination consists of pointing at hallucination, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
