Resolving conflict is really tricky when one of the parties doesn't talk (which is why it's taken me so long to work on this story arch). It's not over yet, stay tuned for part 3.
Thing 1 talks to Sock, who is sitting on an electric fence
Thing 1: Sock! You lied to me!
Thing 1: You let me get shocked and didn't say a thing! Like you just didn't care!
Thing 1: Why?
Sock flies away.
Boot: You do know sock doesn't speak, right?
