Summary
It is a boat, as his balance told him, cutting through the waters of a silent black river. No eyes look upon him, as the passengers around are pale and shivering shades. As if it were the weight of gravity itself, Zeinys is bid to look at the far shore.
He has no belief on what death is like, afterwards, as the rabbis have not sought to discuss it. But as Zeinys grasps at his tallit for meager warmth he knows that is the place of the dead, though he does not know how he came to be here.

Summary
He leaves shul feeling furious inside for the unfairness of it. But when he stands before the men and women of the University, he points at the Provost.
As predicted, his department is done for, his career in shambles. Zeinys is told in no uncertain terms that he is no longer welcome at the University, neither Sumerset nor Benthic.
He packs his office into boxes and leaves within hours. When the boxes are strewn about the floor of his flat, Zeinys stands amongst them and kicks the nearest, hard, throwing papers around.
Justice makes the heart go hungry, and it is not fair.
