Lmafo you just call anything that dosent spoon feeds you every bit of information pretentious please go get a brain,nijigaharais his best work but sadly it actually requires somewhat attention(and more than 2 working braincells) for you to understand it which is sadly out of your reach due to you being autistic as fuck

but than again what do i expect from retards like you.
