[Bakugo scoffs at the notion if LILITH retiring people due to their mental health. Most people brought here aren't overtly criminal like the villains in Bakugo's world. It would make sense they don't want people who are primarily self serving to be tasked with protecting Neo Tokyo and its civilians. They brought in a few reluctant, grumpy ones, but... not unwilling.]

If they were concerned about that, they'd be sending us home every few months. I know two people who were sent home and brought back, but I doubt it was for mental health. [He frowns in memory of his friends and their responses to going home.] Neither of their lives got better during their time back home. [They came back with heavier emotional burdens.] LILITH might be picking people even through their timelines, trying to find the best "version" of a soldier.

[It sounds inhuman and callous, no matter what reason this place has for wanting the people they pulled in. Ratio's not wrong about someone staying around too long resulting in growing resentment overflowing into an attack. That's one reason he thinks LILITH does what it does to treat the Outsiders generally well and respectfully. Despite the kidnapping, they're not enslaved or tormented, and their participation isn't actually forced so much as requested... heavily.]

I used to want to send everyone home; now I want people to have the choice to return if they want.
