<p>Jonas must go to the Annex every day after school. He must go straight home after each day of training. He may ask any questions of anyone. He cannot talk about his training with anyone. He cannot share his dreams. He may not take medication for work-related illness or injury; he cannot apply for release; and he has permission to lie. He was startled by the exemption from rudeness. He wasn't worried about no dream-telling, although he did wonder a bit how he would deal with the morning ritual. He was unnerved by the restrictions on medication because medicine was so readily available in the community. He had no reaction to the rule about applying for release.
