Graduation — nine months finished, and back the next morning anyway

pivotal · ~12-15 Nov YDAU (relayed)

• When: ~12-15 Nov YDAU (relayed to the hospitalized Gately during Calvin Thrust's visit; the graduation is fresh news within that window).
• What: In Thrust's Staff-news dump at Gately's bedside, Foss's residency completes: "Chandler Foss finished out his nine months and graduated but came back the next morning and hung around for Morning Meditation, which has to be a good sign sobriety-wise for the old Chandulator." The same relay marks the bed already turning over: the even newer new guy who has "come in to take Chandler Foss's spot's name is Dave K." — the limbo-locked ATHSCME executive. Against the book's ledger of Ennet House outcomes that same week — Lenz discharged and hunted, Thrale vanished, Gompert missing under a P.C. warrant, Gately shot — Foss's line item is the quiet anomaly: the program worked.
