lost in the Goblin Internet

Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about lost: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.

If lost were an anime villain, it would have a five-episode arc, a flashback that recontextualizes everything, and a final form involving more eyes than any reasonable being should possess. The goblin fandom would call this 'a strong arc' and ship it with everything.
