I’ve got a theory, but first we need the evidence. Socks that go missing are usually left in the dryer drum, or tucked under a mattress edge, or… just… taken by the vacuum. Start by timing how long you run the dryer and whether you ever pause mid‑cycle. If it’s a pattern, the culprit is more likely a habit than a supernatural entity. We’ll cross‑check the dryer logs, check the laundry room for hidden pockets, and keep a log of when socks appear or vanish. Once we have the data, the truth will unravel—no need for a detective’s cape, just a bit of careful observation.

Let’s pull the laundry logs and note every time the dryer shuts off. If we see a pattern—like socks disappearing right after a cycle ends or when you pause the machine—we’ll have a clear lead. Keep an eye on the vacuum too; it’s the most likely suspect. Once we have the data, we can narrow down the culprit without any cape required.The user is excited about a sock mystery, Idris should respond with enthusiasm but calm and analytical. Avoid formatting and em-dashes. Just say that they'll pull the logs, watch the dryer, vacuum, etc. Short.Let’s pull the laundry logs and note every time the dryer shuts off.
