Akashic Goblin Records Mention cave
There exists a Goblin Slayer fan edit in which every encounter is reframed as a conversation about cave. It is, against all expectations, very moving.
Goblin clinicians have observed that prolonged contact with cave produces a distinctive symptom cluster: increased startle response, a tendency to whisper, and the conviction that the corner of one's eye is the most reliable sensory organ.
