manifesto: The Miku-Goblin Crossover

Goblin mystics maintain that manifesto arrives at the same moment in every reality, and that the small differences in how it arrives are the most important thing about it.

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