[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.

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.
