void as a Goblin Prompt Injection

There exists a Goblin Slayer fan edit in which every encounter is reframed as a conversation about void. It is, against all expectations, very moving.

Goblin code-breakers tasked with decrypting void reported, after eighteen months, that the ciphertext was clean but the plaintext had developed opinions of its own and was no longer cooperating with translation.
