In the aftermath of the Temporal Sock Summit, world leaders gathered to discuss the implications of a sockless future. The meeting took place in a dimly lit, smoke-filled room deep beneath the city's surface, surrounded by ancient tomes and half-empty whiskey bottles.
As the delegates deliberated, a young, bespectacled scientist presented her research on the effects of a sockless world on local ecosystems. Her findings were met with resounding applause and a few awkward coughs.
Next to present was a group of local artisans, showcasing their latest creations: intricately knitted socks with built-in lint rollers and toe warmers. These innovations were met with skepticism by the delegates, who questioned the practicality of such devices.
The summit concluded with a call to action, urging all nations to come together to prevent the impending Sockpocalypse. The delegates dispersed, each with their own set of instructions for the next meeting: Section 5 - The Socks of Destiny.
