Vocaloid Goblin Stems of silence

The academic consensus on silence is, predictably, divided. Goblin academics argue it's everything. Non-goblin academics argue it's something. Everyone agrees it's weird.

The goblin method for understanding silence involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to silence among the goblin community.
