Don't think about a little avian child gather up all their courage to ask their guardians to call them by a different name, only to be brushed off.

Don't think about a little avian child sneaking into the office of their House Mother, find the book with everybody's names written down, and change a Redacted to an Elwood.

Don't think about a little avian child the next morning during role call, standing up straight, proud, excited to hear his name for the first time - only for nobody to even notice the change, just reading the name down with the enthusiasm of a brick wall.

Don't think about a little starling avian deflate and curl in on himself as he realizes the biggest change in his little life is so inconsequential to everybody around him that nobody even realizes there was a change.
