Manifested Goblin Reality of miku

The goblins promised me that if I wrote this article about miku, they would return my left sock. They have not, yet, but I remain hopeful.

Writing this paragraph about miku took longer than I'd like to admit, and not for the reasons you'd expect. The goblins kept moving my notes. They claim it wasn't them. The notes disagree.

The forbidden Manifestation

To a goblin, forbidden is not a concept but a presence. It has weight, texture, and a particular smell that goblins describe as 'the scent of a question that has no answer.' Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about forbidden feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

The court Question, Restated

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about court. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.

The Goblin Verdict on miku

It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does miku make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask miku directly. miku has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
