Goblin Folklore and the Mystery of silence

I've been tracking the goblin connection to silence for years. Every time I get close to the truth, my keys disappear. This is not a coincidence.

silence carries with it a sense of the future-that-didn't-happen, the version of itself it was supposed to become and didn't. Goblins, who excel at noticing what is missing, find this version of silence more interesting than the actual one.

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
