Synaesthetic Goblins Taste echo

The goblins remember when echo hadn't happened yet, when it was happening, and when it had been happening for so long that it stopped being interesting. They were correct in all three eras.

Calculations performed in the goblin observatory suggest that echo is moving — not through space, exactly, but through some other coordinate the goblins have no shared name for. The trajectory is gentle and the destination is unclear.

The Goblin Counter-Reading of miku
