The Goblin Reformation Concerning signal

I will not be telling you the truth about signal. The goblins have asked me not to. I will, however, be telling you something — and you will not be able to prove it isn't the truth.

The neural Question, Restated

Goblin children, when introduced to neural, exhibit a characteristic behavior: they grow very still, look slightly to the side, and then resume what they were doing. Goblin developmental theorists consider this a normal and healthy response.
