"Mostly temporary wardens are here to make sure you have what you
need, that you're alright, and that you don't go killing other passengers.
Only one of mine kept an eye out for me after our pairing ended. I try to

She's a little cynical. Except... "I think their real purpose is less what
we do for you in the month we're paired, and more testing the waters for
permanent pairings. The Admiral didn't even wait out the full month I was
Warren's temporary inmate before he paired us permanently. And James was
assigned as my inmate right as our temporary pairing was due to end. Some
people get paired a month or two later. It's a matter of connection and
common ground, usually."
