[ SLANG ][ AURA ECONOMY ]
Accumulated social cringe or embarrassment that hasn't been 'paid off' yet, treated as a running negative balance that will eventually need to be offset by future aura-positive moves.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"He's been in aura debt since that group chat screenshot leaked, still hasn't recovered."
LORE & ORIGIN
Extends the existing aura-points economy into explicit debt vocabulary, letting people track cringe moments as an ongoing liability rather than a one-time deduction.
