The social debt. Someone in this room does not know the rules — the unspoken ones, the ones nobody wrote down because everyone who needed to know them learned them before they could speak. The position holds the debt for that person's presence. It existed the moment the invitation was made.
Make it work. Not explain, not translate, not apologise — make it work. The position does not specify how.
The ease. They were certain bringing someone would be simple — an act of generosity, a door opened. The stranger's first wrong move takes it. Too much talking. The wrong kind of silence. Sitting on the wrong bench. Not knowing about the ladle. Every wrongness lands on the one who brought them. The generosity has become a liability and the position offers no way to put it down.
On the loss of ease — watches the stranger more carefully. Signals with eyes. With posture. With a hand briefly raised. The stranger does not always understand the signals. The watching continues.
