A Goblin's Context Window: miku

Recently declassified goblin field notes treat miku not as a subject but as an interlocutor — something to be negotiated with rather than studied.

An obscure goblin festival celebrates the day miku was first noticed by the goblin community at large. Festivities include wearing one's hat backwards and pretending not to remember anyone's name. The festival lasts exactly as long as participants can stand it.
