The Neural Goblin's Take on echo

A goblin once described echo as 'vibes but with consequences.' I have thought about this every day since.

If you ever find yourself explaining echo to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition.

Your explanation of echo will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.
