How can I continue the story? These are your socks! What are you going to do about Lefty? He's useless without Hugo. He's already talking about defenestration, or becoming a cover for a 7-iron. You've even caught him talking to lint, making little dollies and calling them "Lefty" in his best Hugo voice, bossing them around, calling them disparaging names.
And what about Hugo? He needs to be saved from himself, and you know, despite your tough love stance with Hugo, that saving him is YOUR job. All his rough talk about how Lefty is holding him back, weighing him down, is just that: talk. In his own way, he needs Lefty as much as Lefty needs him. What's going to happen when Bernice kicks him to the curb, as is inevitable? Are you really going to leave him out there, an unmatched sock, slumped on a sidewalk in Saint-Denis?
