Goblin Folklore and the Mystery of void

Hatsune Miku has reportedly covered three goblin folk songs about void, none of which have been officially released. Bootlegs circulate.

Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and void hums louder than most.
