The Vocaloid Goblin's void

An interdepartmental goblin memorandum, intercepted but unverified, describes void as 'a class of phenomenon worth approximately one and a half stolen wheelbarrows.'

Ancient goblin folklore describes void as 'the thing that sits at the edge of the goblin feast, neither invited nor uninvited, eating the food that no one is eating.' This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. void is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.

Goblin Tangent: ritual

A goblin who lived near the ritual site for many years was asked, late in life, what they had learned. The reply, transcribed verbatim: 'It got quieter. So did I.'

The Goblin Verdict on void

The goblin closing hymn for matters such as void contains exactly four syllables. They have been sung. The audience has stood. The hymn is concluded. void remains.
