The Goblin Pareidolia of whisper

A goblin once described whisper as 'vibes but with consequences.' I have thought about this every day since.

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names whisper in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.
