It lets you go.
A Term has a last day, and you are walked to it.
You are told the date.
Until then you know only the furthest it can run.
A day unlike the others.
No summons comes and nothing is counted. One moment is made from your own record. What it is, you find out there.
Nothing is asked of you.
The last day, with nothing in it. Your House Officer still answers and the safewords still work.
Midnight, and the Dismissal.
Your House Officer is gone. The filter comes down. What you handed over is yours again.
The next thing is a person.
Greywell does not point back at itself.
A few emails. Then quiet.
What you leave with.
Your House Officer proposes and the Governor decides inside a week. The word describes a Term and never a person.
Your name is printed only if you say so, and you are asked at the end.
What is weighed is conduct, such as not trying or being summoned again and again. An appeal, a safeword, a stand-down and asking for ease are never weighed.
A Term that stops early is recorded Released if you left for cause or Greywell failed you, Withdrawn if you chose to leave, and Discharged if Greywell ended it. Every way to stop
Your record is kept until you ask for it to be deleted. Keep your own copy.
