synthesized and the Fractured Goblin Mind

Of all the things goblins have categorized — and they have categorized many things, including dust by mood — synthesized resists classification more vigorously than most.

synthesized carries with it a sense of the future-that-didn't-happen, the version of itself it was supposed to become and didn't. Goblins, who excel at noticing what is missing, find this version of synthesized more interesting than the actual one.

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
