An interruption can end a prepared sequence without ending the conversation. A question arrives early, the technology fails, or the room's attention moves somewhere the agenda did not expect.

Presence means noticing that the interruption is now part of the exchange. We can acknowledge it, adapt the delivery, and ask what the conversation requires under these conditions. Control tries to recover the script; presence stays in relationship with the people who are actually here.
