You're free, technically — but the system still has its hand on your collar. Curfews, tags, no-go zones, mandatory check-ins. Break a rule and you go straight back inside. In drill, being 'on papers' means moving careful, keeping off the wrong roads, avoiding the wrong faces, because one slip = recall.
“Can't pull up on the wave tonight, I'm on papers — tag goes off at nine.”
