At the AA commitment's raffle-break

texture · 8 Nov YDAU

• When: 8 Nov YDAU (Interdependence Day; the White Flag meeting Gately and Joelle attend)
• What: During the raffle-break at the AA commitment Joelle attends, Clenette Henderson (full name) is seen socializing — clutching another black girl and laughing "Girl!" — among the residents mingling; the narration notes the couple of black residents mingling with each other, with n.141 glossing the private racial term the passage's focal character (Gately) still uses (as printed; the note is about Gately's vocabulary, not about Clenette).
