Visual-Novel Goblin Route: secret

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

Two goblins met on a bridge and could not agree on secret, so they swapped hats and parted ways amicably. Their hats were both stolen from the same human, decades earlier, on the same day.
