Stranger Invites Narrator Into Communal Flat

In February 1982 in Edinburgh, a young narrator leaves work and encounters a barefoot woman called Ma and four orange-clad strangers who pull him into their flat. The group consumes his groceries, smokes, chants for an hour, and reveals intimate, disordered communal rituals led by figures including Jitendra. The episode exposes the narrator's yearning, social awkwardness, and mounting emotional dislocation.
