The title text suggests that something bad has happened, not simply that he is swimming elsewhere or that Randall is disappointed the boy is no longer floating in the barrel.  [[User:Grahame|Grahame]] ([[User talk:Grahame|talk]]) 05:30, 18 October 2013 (UTC)Grahame

:The title text suggests unhappiness at the knowledge that the boy is apparently no longer inside the barrel that has been preserving his life so far. We can speculate that something bad has happened, but a sad smiley does not do that for us. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.58|108.162.219.58]] 01:12, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
 
:: Agreed - the sadness could be that the boy has embarked on a new stage of his adventure, and we're not able to follow it.[[Special:Contributions/141.101.76.16|141.101.76.16]] 10:28, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 
:: I'd agree with you. Your metaphor reminded me of possibly moving out or a loved one's death. {{unsigned|DollarStoreBa'al|21:26, 10 March 2024}}
 
 
@Koolkat38: Updated the link you added to the [[:Category:The Boy and his Barrel|Barrel series]], to be more direct, in all the instances. Though this might have been unnecessary given the exact same link is mentioned in the lower part of the explanation. Still, good to think of, and perhaps the latter (original) link is now unneccesary. [[Special:Contributions/141.101.98.77|141.101.98.77]] 12:56, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
