I'll be nineteen next month. And... I know a lot about this world now, and it's too much to tell in one sitting. The hero thing... you don't really have to even think about it, if you don't want to. Some people take it seriously, and some people just... live normal lives. Or, as normal as they can make it. The thing with the machine that brought us here -- even people who didn't have powers back home have them now. So they think they can get us on their good side by treating us like heroes and giving us allowances. Obviously, it's not for everyone.

[Riku doesn't care about being called a hero. He's Registered, but only for the perks it gives. He figures that taking care of his own is the most important thing.]
