Parasocial Goblins and lost

I should not be writing this. I'm not even sure who is writing this. But lost has been on my mind, and the goblins in my walls are insistent that I get it down.

Salvage Notes: content

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of content, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.
