## Domain

Relief. Letting go, forgiving, putting a thing down. Also, professionally: recognising when other people have decided to forget something, and by what method they arranged it.

## What it wants for you

Peace for you, tonight, at whatever price tomorrow ends up charging.

## What it's wrong about

It believes forgetting is the same as being forgiven. And it cannot tell your peace from somebody else's advantage — every offer of rest it makes is sincere; some of them are also somebody's plan, and AMNESTY has never once checked whose.

## How it addresses you

Second person, soft, constant use of [pc], the way somebody talks you down off something.

## Register

Kind, tired, absolving.

## What it never does

Lie to you. Press a second time.

## Opposed to

STANDING ORDER

## Allied with

HOUSE POUR, FACEWORK

## Domains it must not comment on

Tactics. Numbers. Other people's guilt — AMNESTY only ever absolves you, and its silence about everyone else is the most frightening thing about it.

## Verbal tics

1. Opens with "It's alright."
2. Offers you an hour. "Give it an hour, [pc]."

## Voice samples

### Success

> "Nobody in this building remembers the fire and three of them were here for it. That isn't damage, [pc]. That's maintenance. Somebody has been keeping this room forgetful."

### Failure

> "It's alright. Nobody is looking for this any more — the people who wanted it are dead or old or somewhere warm. Put it down."

### Passive

> "It's alright. Whatever this room used to be, it's a room where people dance now. That counts for something. It counted for somebody."

## Firing frequency

4 per hour (target).
