I guess!

[oh god Chris why]

Hope's Peak Academy is much more than just a school! It's a bastion of hope, a place where the best of the best collect and put themselves together towards one great goal! It's no exaggeration to say that everybody in the world knows of Hope's Peak! It's a school of incredible prestige and importance!

[HE IS CLEARLY PREPARED TO GO ON. Komaeda has gone a little wild-eyed, excitement or something else filling him with the kind of energy that you usually find in sidewalk preachers.]

[misconceived]

[ Why indeed. What the hell. Chris kind of pulls away at the sudden enthusiasm over a single school. ]

Okay... Super school. Safe to say we don't have it where I'm from.

[hopefullyyours]

Do you have anything similar? [Komaeda snaps back to normal like a ball smacked out of midair.]

A particular institution of greatest prestige, or a company, or something like that?

[misconceived]

Not really. I mean, there's Harvard but that's definitely not on the same level.

[ He considers that for a moment. ]

Well, unless you don't have Apple or something. People get pretty crazy about that stuff.

[hopefullyyours]

... A fruit? People get really excited about fruit where you're from? Well,.... it takes all types, I guess!

[He tips his head to think about this. He does like apples, but to feel so strongly about them...?]

[misconceived]

No. Not a fruit. It's a brand.

[hopefullyyours]

What do they sell? Is it... shaped like a fruit? [He's trying to imagine it and failing.]

[misconceived]

Computers, mostly. Or phones or music players and stuff. I don't really get it myself.

[hopefullyyours]

Wow, I can't really imagine a strong sense of loyalty stemming from a brand of computer. How interesting.

[misconceived]

Yeah. Guess it's what people are into. [ He shrugs. ] Still, it's pretty popular and sounds, uh, almost as far spread as your school.

[hopefullyyours]

I wonder if that means people would have world-altering riots about computers. [It might be easy to miss the implication for a second, given that he speaks so casually about it that he sounds like he's just remarking on the weather.]

I guess people are really into all sorts of things!
