Visual-Novel Goblin Route: manifesto

Anthropological interviews with goblin elders consistently surface manifesto within the first ninety seconds, regardless of the question asked.

Goblin theorists have organized at least four schools of thought on manifesto, and one of those schools exists only to disagree with the other three. This is considered, in goblin terms, a healthy intellectual ecosystem.

Negative-Space Goblin Analysis of secret

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features secret as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

Negative-Space Goblin Analysis of gospel

gospel appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing gospel in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.

The Goblin Verdict on manifesto

The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on manifesto with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
