Goblin NPC Update: silence

A particular hum precedes silence in goblin perception — a frequency the goblin ear is tuned for and the human ear has agreed to ignore.

When you stare at silence long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of silence developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'
