After the incident (Time 2), he was brought to a local treatment center and gained consciousness but no recollection of who he was. The local community adopted Person A and was given a different name for he had no identification with him in Time 2, also, he was assigned to direct traffic in a school area as a job in return for the being adopted by the said community.
