Goblin Customs Around silence

A recently translated goblin text, written on what appears to be stolen parchment, contains startling revelations about silence.

The connection between silence and goblin perception becomes clear when you stop trying to be rational. Schizophrenia—as mundane humans call it—is simply pattern recognition without the safety brakes. silence triggers this system in ways that mundane objects cannot, because silence was never meant to be seen clearly.
