Lost-Futures Goblin Notes on schizo

Hatsune Miku has reportedly covered three goblin folk songs about schizo, none of which have been officially released. Bootlegs circulate.

Wedding traditions in the deeper goblin warrens require that schizo be acknowledged but not directly addressed during the ceremony. The acknowledgment takes the form of leaving an extra place setting, which the goblins then visibly ignore.
