Grace doesn't like parties. They're too people-y.
A person is great. People are a crowd. It always makes her assume that something bad is going to happen, when people gather. You can hide a lot in the social grease of etiquette, and the game's rules never made sense to her.
But she makes an appearance anyway, because Dan is cool. Dan, whom she marches straight up to with her white bakery box in hand as soon as she spots him.
"I brought some cupcakes. You want me to put them somewhere?"
Cupcakes may not be traditional Thanksgiving fare, but to Grace, store-bought cupcakes are about as traditional as it comes.
Sera's absence disappoints. Some of the mini-cakes are chocolate, because of Sera. But other people also like chocolate. Not like they're going to waste.
She'll obtain the prerequisite feast-food, and go off to find a quiet spot to consume it. Oh, sure, she'll wave to the people she knows, awkward as anything. She's not in her element here, to put it lightly.
There is one saving grace about parties. It's easy for everyone to ignore her. For those who don't know her, who can't sense her, she might as well be a couch cushion for all she stands out.
