The Miku-Altman Pact Over edge

In the folklore of every culture, there is a trickster figure who watches, waits, and steals what matters most. Goblins say that edge is what happens when the trickster gets bored.

A goblin once tried to steal edge. No one knows how the attempt went, because edge was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding edge in a sock drawer ever since. Others say edge escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.
