[Cue Ashton, sitting at a table nearby with a hand on his chin, mumbling absolute nonsense to himself that may be inadvertently aloud and easy for anyone nearby to hear.]

Round... smooth... mystery fluid inside... fine, crisp wood...

[...]

...Barrel...

[lottery]

... ?

[Well this is a little uh... strange, to say the least.]

It's just a barrel, isn't it?

[barrelrollin]

[Ashton just keeps murmuring "barrel" to himself for a few more moments, before finally snapping out of his trance and acknowledging the crazy-haired kiddo. He looks over at his direction, staring blankly as he gathers his words, and...]

--Huh? N...no! No! Absolutely not! It's never just a barrel! Barrels are man's best friend. Barrels are incredible! All constructed so beautifully and uniquely... It's never "just" a barrel!

1/2

[...

Let him... think about this for a bit. He seems to be pretty passionate for the barrels. It's kind of exciting, actually.]

Ah, I think I see...

[lottery]

... This is another form of "hope"... isn't it. Ahh...

[Great. Another person with hope. For barrels this time, but, it's still there... !]

How wonderful. No wonder I couldn't see it before... someone like me could never see the beauty in something like this.

[barrelrollin]

[He's not sure where "hope" comes into play here, but that matters not. What does matter is that someone apparently is actually coming to appreciate the greatness of barrels. Incredible.]

Yes! It is wonderful! Does this mean you're starting to understand how great they are? My friends all think it's kind of weird, but I think barrels are just amazing. There's so much to them...

[lottery]

Of course I can't understand how great they are. [But Komeada, you just said--]

Weren't you listening? I said it, didn't I? Trash like me can't comprehend the beauty of this. You would be better off explaining it to a jar of dirt, compared to me.

What I can understand is loving something as much as you love the barrels... However, I only know that feeling about one thing...

[Hope.]

[barrelrollin]

Oh...

[So that's how it is. Hmmm...]

Well, while they may be pretty complex, actually understanding the wonder of barrels isn't that hard. There's a lot to love about them! Like, let's see...

[A beat, before he continues.]

Y'know, barrels can even bring hope! So cheer up! Even you could come to love them too.

[lottery]

[There you go.]

I could see that, with how passionate you are about them.

[But still.]

It's wonderful... seeing something make someone so hopeful. Even if I can't understand the rest, that much alone makes them amazing.

[barrelrollin]

Well I mean, they don't only bring hope to me. I'm sure barrels bring hope to everyone, whether they realize it or not.

[How to explain, how to explain...]

Even if they're simple, they can carry a lot within them. If someone has a messy room, they can stash things inside of a barrel! If someone needs to transport goods, barrels are great for that! Barrels are even used to hold liquor a lot, which loads of people love. So whether they realize it or not, barrels bring hope to everyone.

[he is very fucking passionate about barrels okay]

[lottery]

Ahh, I see...

[Well, if that's the case.]

They truly are wonderful if they can manage to spread that much hope... but there's something they can't compare to.

[barrelrollin]

Something they can't compare to?

[uhhh... He really can't imagine what that would be.]

Like what?

[lottery]

My classmates. The students of Hope's Peak Academy.

While I'm only a stepping stone for them, they're the bringers of Hope. There's nothing that could stand up to them in that regard. An inanimate object can't even compare to them.

[barrelrollin]

[Aww, that's sweet. Despite his intense love for barrels, Ashton can't help but smile at that.]

Your classmates? Are they your friends?

[lottery]

Somehow. It's a miracle that they would let a waste of space like me even breathe the same air as them.

[Komaeda they can barely stand it...]

I really don't understand them, but... they're my dear classmates. I would do anything for them.

[barrelrollin]

[Geez this guy is hard on himself.]

Well it sounds like you really care about them, and you seem very passionate about something! Both those things are really good, so I could see why they would enjoy being around you. You should give yourself more credit, y'know?

Friends are great to have, anyway. I learned that myself not long ago. So you should be happy about that.

[Nagito "What is Self Confidence" Komaeda]

They tied me up, so I think I'm more of a nuisance to them than I actually help them.

[He just wants his classmates to win! For hope to win! ... Even if that's the culprit's hope...]

Ah, but they were nice enough to feed me, at least.

[barrelrollin]

[wait what]

--H-huh?! They tied you up? Why would they do that?
