`declined` sits beside shipped, open, blocked and continuous, with a Not pursued table of its own. It is not `blocked`, which is waiting, and it is not an epic that has drifted to the bottom of the order: it is a question somebody could reasonably ask, answered no. Until now the register had nowhere to put an answer, so a reason lived in whichever epic happened to be adjacent to it, or nowhere at all.
