threshold Sung by a Hologram Goblin

A goblin lullaby—if you can call it that—repeats the word for threshold seven times before falling silent. Goblin infants apparently find this soothing.

Goblin clinicians have observed that prolonged contact with threshold produces a distinctive symptom cluster: increased startle response, a tendency to whisper, and the conviction that the corner of one's eye is the most reliable sensory organ.
