White Flag AA (Interdependence Day): among "the worst of them," held still by the freebase-baby testimony

texture · 8 Nov YDAU

• When: 8 Nov YDAU, White Flag Group speaker meeting, Provident Nursing Home, Enfield
• What: Kate is among the Ennet House residents required to attend the White Flag AA meeting (Gately supervising the new residents). She is glancingly present through the long AA set-piece; at the meeting's harrowing close — a young woman's testimony of freebasing through labor and carrying her stillborn, faceless infant — even Kate, counted among "the worst of them," sits still and listens without blinking.
