After the sixteen students left the quarry, the White Cedar Training Center and some of their families both offered to take them in.
The Training Facility said they were still students under contract.
The families said the children should come home.
The Land of Fire's placement officer wanted to send everyone to a single temporary shelter.
All three arrangements were convenient.
And all three tried to decide for sixteen people at once.
The rescue area set up three temporary channels.
For those willing to return to their original caregivers, checks first confirmed whether the caregivers had been informed, whether their homes were safe, and whether the Performance Seals could still affect them.
Those unwilling to return entered short-term accommodation without having to explain their entire family history immediately.
Those who had not yet decided could stay at the Medical Station for three days while their injuries and seals were treated first.
The White Cedar Training Center could not contact the students alone, but it could submit its courses, contracts, and claims to caregiving responsibility.
The first boy who asked to go home was Kaito.
When his parents signed the contract, they had known only that room and board were free and that he would repay a proportion after graduation.
They had received no payment from the Training Facility and had not consented to Pain Sealing.
Their home passed inspection, and his parents agreed to cooperate with the Medical Team to block the master ledger.
Kaito could go home.
That outcome could not answer for the other fifteen.
Before Kaito went home, the Medical Team taught his parents how to isolate the Performance Seal.
His parents could accompany him, but they could not cut out the seal themselves with a knife or ask an unaffiliated practitioner to try breaking it.
