The Goblin of the Lonely manifesto

There exists a Goblin Slayer fan edit in which every encounter is reframed as a conversation about manifesto. It is, against all expectations, very moving.

There is a goblin practice — neither encouraged nor forbidden — of deliberately staring past manifesto rather than at it, on the theory that manifesto reveals its true nature only when it does not feel observed.
