Touch Grass, Goblins: A neural Diagnosis

An interdepartmental goblin memorandum, intercepted but unverified, describes neural as 'a class of phenomenon worth approximately one and a half stolen wheelbarrows.'

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