About

Non-— the holder in occupation of Thomas Keene's leased room..

Her lease expired; her occupation did not. A supplementary clause carries a holder's occupation forward where replacement volume has been allocated and not released by the environmental authority, and the new volume is stuck between a pressure contractor waiting on an environmental witness and an environmental witness waiting on the pressure contractor. She read the same clause Thomas read, and she read it as what it is: her protection. Thomas read it on Earth, in a chair, with coffee, and understood it perfectly, and understood it as protection against administrative delay. It was. Just not his. She does nothing wrong at any point and apologises for nothing. "You're supposed to." The pressure test passes at first bell the next morning and she is out by ten-twenty with two bags.
