They're not gonna let him damage the company's reputation with a graduation announcement right beforehand, especially when they just did exactly that with Vivi. The only he'll graduate before the end of the year is through contract expiration, or if management or corporate nuke the branch a la Yumenographia.
Besides, he's one of the Lux-Noc golden boys. As long as he doesn't say anything even remotely positive about Selen or Zaion or non-positive (not just "negative," but also "non-positive," including neutral comments) about the company, or offer any sort of help or support to any livers who do, EN management will bend over backwards to make sure he gets treated like a king for as long as the EN branch nominally exists. All of them except Fulgur will be treated like damn-hell-ass kings right until the bitter end, unless they break that rule.
If the next graduation is a guy, it'll probably be either Fulgur, Ren, Pio, Ver, Vanta, Zali, or Ryoma (and Zali won't graduate before Dec 12). If the next graduation is a girl, it'll probably be Finana, Rosemi, Reimu, Maria, Kotoka, Klara, or Twisty. If the next graduation is more than one person, it'll probably be at least two people on this list.
The people on this list plus Scarle are the ones most likely to get culled at the merger, with varying degrees of likelihood of getting downsized, e.g. Scarle and Fulgur are almost certainly gonna get sacked at the merger unless they graduate before it happens, and Twisty is much more likely to get the boot at the merger than Doppio.
