I don't know, guys. I saw people having problems with Ashton having trust issues with the rest of the Hells (except Fearne). A character who had been broken twice (well, thrice now), left alone to die by a group of friends who they considered a family, having trust issue with a new group they traveled with for few months? That totally makes sense to me?
(Also, I just want to remind you that The Nobodies were Ashton's friends from the orphanage. They literally grew up together, yet they left him for dead. The betrayal cut them so deep they overjustified it for the longest time and agreed to be Jianna Hexum's errand dog just so she wouldn't chase them down instead of being angry like a normal person would)
I feel like Ashton totally treasures Bells Hells now, but I don't think Ashton thinks that the Hells treasure him as much. With the Hells, they find a role to fulfill, a purpose, and a chance to make a difference in the world, but let's be real, no one has been really checking in on Ashton. And it's no one's fault, shit has been happening. I just think that the precampaign connection between characters serves as a bridge for Hells to truly have meaningful conversations with each other but Ashton and FCG were never really tight to begin with. After split reunion made it so obvious lol. Ashton had no one to go to. I wouldn't be surprised if Ashton feels like they're just tolerating their presence.
I'm not saying Ashton should not trust the Hells, I will be happy for them when that time comes, hopefully soon, but it's understandable that they are not there yet.

Touhou OC: Hōzuki Yamata
Touhou OC for a hypothetical fan game called Faceted Imperial Treasures. The plot and main characters would be based on the three Imperial Treasures of Japan. This character, the stage 5 boss, represents and is the creator of the Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi. Also based on the Yamata no Orochi of Japanese legend. Hōzuki is very much the brute and the edgelord of the Three Imperial Gods, and the only one who used to be a youkai.
Profile
Eight-Headed Orochi of Seven Sacrifices: Hōzuki Yamata 八岐 鬼灯
Species: Orochi-turned-god
Ability: creating any kind of weapon
Theme: “Storm-Tossed Hydra”
“Sample the fruits forged in my blackened guts and perish!!”
-Stage 5 boss.
-Creator of the Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi.
-The “strength” of the three imperial gods and the last to join due to her unique status as a former youkai. Still insecure about that.
-Her innards are a forge of the finest weapons known to man or god. The weapons she makes are forged in her stomach and then puked out.
-After she was fatally wounded in her battle with Susanoo the storm god, she vomited the Tsurugi and subsequently ascended to deityhood as the god of weaponry.
-Proudly proclaims herself as “evil”, “black-hearted”, having “black guts”, etc. and freely admits that her favourite offerings consist of virgin flesh. Her diet isn’t out of the ordinary for a youkai, though.
-She’s actually not that malicious, but is very much chaotic neutral and enjoys intimidating people.
-In spite of her reckless and edgy “tough guy” attitude, she’s afraid of thunderstorms due to trauma from her battle with Susanoo. She also abstains from alcohol for this reason.
-Likes to talk in an elevated old-fashioned manner to seem as “godlike” as possible.
-Also the Stage 5 and Extra midboss.
