Sadde is home; it's a Friday evening, his shift is over, and there's no school. He's reading a book, lying on his bed in his small-but-tidy apartment.
He is also quite naked, because it's his place and why not?

"Correct. Which is ostensibly not your case. For one, you did not speak the local language. Furthermore, you have quite a few memories of the place you're from. So the priority, here, would be taking you back there."
"Therefore, we do still find ourselves faced with a problem," she repeats. "Now that you can communicate, we're able to actually get your thoughts on the matter."
"As of right now, you do not yet officially exist. We will need more information to create an identity, and the protocols in place for Case 53s should be enough to cover you. A question of significant importance is how old you are."
"In that case you are considered under age, and will need a legal guardian until you turn eighteen. Your options are either going into foster care or joining the Wards program as a member of the Protectorate. In foster care the government would find someone to take you in and provide for you. If you joined the team, the Protectorate would be your legal guardian, you would have free housing, a monthly allowance to spend on whatever your saw fit, as well as some money deposited into a trust fund, to become available one you turned eighteen."
"I am glad you think so," she says, not sounding it. "I'm supposed to give you a day to consider your options, however, so I will need to ask you about it again tomorrow. In the meantime, here I have two forms which I would like you to look at. You should fill out the first one, to create your identity; the second one contains information about joining the team, and you should only fill that one out after having made sure your choice's final."
She gives him the aforementioned forms and sends him on his way.
The one he's supposed to fill out has fields for stuff like full name, date of birth, place of birth, parents, etc. Most of it is marked as optional, since Case 53s tend not to remember these details.

His full name is Ashras Kevarsin and, with the help of a computer, he calculates that his equivalent date of birth is October tenth, 1986. He leaves all the family parts blank. And the place of birth. And most other things, actually.
And should he choose to eat in the cafeteria again, he'll find a familiar face there!
...mask. He'll find a familiar mask there.

"I'm having a little trouble with these forms, though," he admits. "And with deciding whether or not to join the, what was it, Wards. I don't suppose you have any advice?"
"Well, I'm already in, so I think any advice I give would be biased," he laughs. "But yeah, I think you should join. It's fun, and you feel like you're making a difference, like whatever reason we got these powers, we're using them for good."
He shrugs. "Who knows why some people get them and others don't? Why these powers, why they work the way they do, and why we get them the way we do? We do the best we can with what we're given."

"I suppose," Ashras agrees. "I certainly feel like I should do something about those Endbringers while I'm here."
