While you are walking through the park you get annoyed because you are stuck behind this speech thing.
The shoes help find the fastest route, weaving in and out of the crowd. During which you’re handed a flier, you skim it as your shoes continue to guide you to the office.

After you flip to ABC 7, there’s a news report currently showing Prospect Park, the park YOU walk to work through. It looks like there’s a press conference with protesters.
“These Barefoot Brigaders seem pretty concerned.”
