[@RokuroCarisu]

Poké Balls are only the second most advanced technology in the Pokémon World. Number one (and even more terrifing) was the creation of Porygon; using the Pokémon Storage System in reverse to turn a primitive 3D model into a physical lifeform, complete with it retaining the abilities it had inside a virtual envoirment - aka. bringing a video game character to life and somehow allowing it to continue working by video game physics in the real world!

[@dagothur76839]

YOUR RIGHT

[@chaotixthefox]

Quantum Physics>>>>>>> All they did was convert energy to mass in order to create a working body.

[@RokuroCarisu]

Chaotix Fox The amazing thing about Porygon is that its body consists of variable matter. It can alter its shape, color and type at will. And unlike Ditto, Porygon is not an organic lifeform that just mimics other things, but it can actually transmutate itself into any organic or anorganic matter. Now image Porygon had been programmed with the ability to reprogram not only itself, but also its virtual envoirment, before it was transfered into the physical world.

[@chaotixthefox]

RokuroCarisu But it wasn't.

[@RokuroCarisu]

Chaotix Fox The point is that the technology that created Porygon could just as well create a Pokémon that can "hack reality".

[@angeldude101]

I have one problem about your assumption that Ash doesn't have the strength of a demigod and that's the fact that in Sun&Moon, for a portion of the game, Lillie carries around a pokemon that weighs _999.9kg without using a pokeball!_ If a little girl can lift what's basically a tiny _neutron star_, surely ash can lift the god of the land.

[@bonetower]

Sooo I should probably point out that near the end of Pokemon XY/Z (anime -which is considered a separate 'dimension' with slightly more lax 'rules' than the games) it's stated in the Japanese version that the pokeballs work by 'Digitization' of a living being and maintaining it in a simulation within the pokeball itself. Though i prefer this much better.

This actually makes sense, and it goes together with most of the Pokemon history. Like Mewtwo making copies of pokemon for example, this explains that. It's just his version of a pokeball except it's much safer since it doesn't physically destroy the original pokemon. So technically, Mewtwo was a good guy the entire time!

I wonder about one thing in the pokemon world (amongst many others): The Pokeballs did not exist "forever", however pokemon as humans knew them did. Pokemon means something like "Pocket Monster", right? But they can only be "Pocket" Monsters if you have pokeballs, or the idea of them; how did the people of pokemon world call those creatures before the invention of those balls?

I like to imagine that after scientists literally found the secret of quantum entanglement and uncovered and mastered the powers of physics they just got bored and handed them to little kids to see what the fuck they'd do with them lmao. That also brings the possibility that Pokemon are just genetically altered organisms made by humans. I mean I know some Pokemon are canonically "synthetic" but come on as wild as the Pokemon universe may be it may all just be really advanced physics in the end.

[@ChrisBryer]

So... No wormholes or pocket dimensions? I always thought pokeballs were basically just an elven pouch.

[@Telleryn]

or a TARDIS

[@ThisIsTaco1]

Well, Austin went for an "it is acutally possible" theory, not for an "it is theoretically possible" theory. Wormholes and pocket dimensions are thoeretically possible, but none have been confirmed outside of the quantum realm.

[@TheCsel]

seeing how pokemon deals with transferring pokemon via the internet from computer databases, and how Bill literally had a matter-teleporter in his house, I would say the quantum teleport theory is correct

[@seirramoon388]

i thought they worked kinda like a tardis, bigger on the inside and can become much much smaller on the outside

[@ThisIsTaco1]

+Drakilicious Yeah, me too. But in the three spacial dimensions we live in, it's impossible to do that (but theoretically you can if you have 5 or more). If it had extra dimensions inside the pókeball, that would be really wierd for pokémons as well. That could only happen inside the quantum realm.

[@adrianleez]

you can observe what he says toward the end of season 1 or within season 2 of the early *Pokęmon* cartoon/anime. I think it was *Muk* professor Oak and Ash. Oak tells Ash about the light/beams being imporant and *very briefly* explains how and why its a TRANSFER rather than a storage from the Pøke ball.so it's good to know from Austins explaination. The show provides a visual, with a brief explanation. Just very very slow... and apparently a Massive Anime collection, to seek that out (from show)

[@aaronl9330]

Wait you didn't cover the rare occurrence of the pokeball taking one shake to catch a pokemon? And this can apply for ANY pokemon! Explain...

[@RunicSigils]

He pretty much did as he explained his reasoning for why some were harder to catch which goes into it. He said the more rare a Pokémon the harder it is to catch because copying their exact data takes longer since there aren't many references already in the system (which makes complete sense) and this works perfectly well with the fact that CritCap chance is partially based on how many species you have in the Dex. In other words, following the above reasonable logic, because you've already caught so many species, your specific account in the PC system (not just a central database even, but a local one) has much more data readily available, thus possibly making it much easier to analyze the data of new things you're trying to catch. Also a CritCap can't happen to ANY Pokémon. Depending upon the catch rate of the Pokémon, whether or not you're lowering the HP of and/or statusing the target and with what status as well as what type of ball and any factors like time, gender, etc. a ball might take into account, the base catch rate is sometimes too low for there to be a CritCap chance. You'll never CritCap a full HP Mewtwo (and several other legends) into a Poké Ball without putting them to Sleep/Freezing them, for example (and even then the chance is less than 1 in 250). Chance is too low without the status so there is no CritCap chance even at max Dex if it isn't.

[@Lisa-pn3fm]

Zixzio Critical captures (which is the official name of the mechanic you're referring to) are more likely to happen the more you fill up the Pokedex. So what is likely happening is that the quantum computer thingy becomes accustomed to the general structure of a Pokemon and can more easily analyze and contain it... or something, I could be explaining that entirely the wrong way, but you get the point...

[@aaronl9330]

True! I wonder if mind control is a factor of this. Maybe hypnotism is behind the taming factor of the pokeball...

[@DarkAngels1600]

I guess whoever made my pokeball that caught Dialga on the first fucking turn must've been a miracle worker.

[@AkuFexin]

I love how Austin spends so much time talking about how it's impossible for the pokemon to just get squished and shrunk down and then PLA came around and was like "They force the pokemon to shrink (something apparently every pokemon inherently is capable of) and sucks them in!"

[@Spike40532]

Yeah in Super Smash Bros Brawl. The info is in the trophy section and you must have a poke ball trophy

[@cheomarweston2081]

I heard that too

[@tracyblanchard7663]

There's one main problem. Recreating the original or last saved pokemon would cause it to have amnesia, as the electrical patterns that the brain makes aren't related to matter placement and amounts (for a better explanation, see Film Theory Deadpool). This is directly contradicted by the friendship stat and the moves a Pokémon learns. If a Pokémon forgot everything, it wouldn't know moves it didn't naturally have and wouldn't have any idea who you, the trainer, are. My theory is that the pokemon is converted to data, similar to your theory but with less quantum physics. This data is altered automatically by the pokeball under certain criteria. Once captured, the code that makes up the pokemon is made to trust its trainer. This is why a Pokémon will listen to a new trainer when traded. When you teach a Pokémon a TM, you aren't just slapping a DVD on its head, you're getting the pokeball to read the disc and imprint the move on the pokemon inside. This is how pokemon are stored in a PC, how pokeballs don't change weight, and how you can have special balls do certain things, it's all just the transfer and editing of living data.

[@dudep504]

Actually then how exactly do pokeball do it then? The converting into data stuff, and in my opinion that electricity pattern that form the memory can be copied since if im not wrong electricity is plasma and plasma is a state of matter so the pokeball just have to copy those certain electricity pattern and the insert some electricity to the copy with that pattern and voila, also also in the film theory video it is said that logan (its logan right?) Loses its memory because his brain regenerates while in a pokeball the brain is recreated along with the electricity pattern. But hey, thats just my opinion, a GAAAAME OPINION, yes i watch GT and FT too, hi theorist

[@TechnoMinarchist]

Muscle memory and memories of events are not related in the brain.

[@TechnoMinarchist]

In essence a person with amnesia can still learn how to do something progressively better through repetitive practice even if they don't remember having done any practice.

[@HAWXLEADER]

It's all about the sequence of firing if you copy the Pokemon instantly you'd also copy the readiness of neurons to fire and the states of the electrons.

[@tylerschenk4043]

​@@TechnoMinarchistSolo yes they are. The problem is that it is impossible to teleport and impossible to remember a destroyed memory

[@zombiewalkerdude6465]

Pokemon go super syan sorry for bad spelling

[@ColdFuse96]

The same way it works on Ben 10 They introduce a stimulant to the [Pokemon] that places it in a Worst Case Scenario state (like having to live in a war torn environment) for a few centuries. The end result is a [Pokemon] adapted to said war torn environment, giving it a significantly greater and more powerful combative body. The end result (in this case) is a Mega Evolution.

[@EvilParagon2]

I always just thought the pokeballs just converted matter into energy. Then maybe uses binary to spit the code back out correctly. This allows pokeballs to be as light as the ball itself. The problem is the fact that pokemon are visible when interacting with the pokeball. They glow red when returning, white when leaving and blue when being ejected from the ball. If they were truly being converted into an energy code, any loss in energy such as visible light would destroy parts of the saved code.

[@EvilParagon2]

There's also the idea that because pokeballs can only be used for one pokemon, that the ball is synced to a pocket dimension the pokemon stores all of its power in. I know using the anime is taboo but come on. Anyway we see a Hippopotas fill Team Rocket's balloon with sand and the balloon starts to sink which would imply creating matter, in another scene we see Squirtle fill an entire room, that he is standing in, with water. How did all of that fit inside? It didn't! Either one of two things happened: A) Pokemon are infinite energy creating monsters, the more boring option that just sounds convenient and breaks our laws of physics or B) Pokemon have the power to access a pocket dimension specific to them that contains energy that replenishes itself over time, as they are outside of our universe, they don't have to obey our laws of physics. Replenishing energy in the pocket dimension that through the portal that is a pokemon is a perfectly valid way to add energy to our universe without breaking any physics laws regarding the creation of energy/matter. Pokemon can turn energy into matter. I like option B of course, and this means that Pokeballs could sync with a pokemon's dimension and become that portal, being able to send the pokemon there and back with no harm done to the pokemon. This also means that the pocket dimension can only house energy as matter from the pokemon is shown not to be able to enter if this theory is right. Also this means that the glow from pokeballs makes sense. The light could be coming from the portal the pokeball has open. AND this could also explain evolutions. Pokemon don't need to eat it seems. They CAN eat but they don't need to. It seems their way of growing involves gaining experience. If we say experience is the power of their dimension and how much energy it produces, an evolution could just be the dimension experiencing an overload of energy and the pokemon is filled with energy which it uses to instantly grow, it also glows during this time because the pocket dimension is visible.

[@starbutterfly9036]

I like Theory B better, too.

[@EvilParagon2]

Hamim Chowdhury Do you feel pride in your theory? Do you feel happy if your theory is correct? Saying things like "Hey man, the sky is blue because it's blue" is really a waste of mental energy. The sky is blue for a reason, just as the way the game shows pokeballs, they are like that for a reason. Now could I be wrong? Absolutely. Theories are just theories, but I had fun and I will enjoy the days up until Nintendo eventually proves me wrong or right.

[@Deedeedee137]

Small, really nitpicky correction, but I work in particle physics so it bothers me. At 9:56 when you show the hydrogen atom, you have it being made up of 4 quarks, when a proton actually consists of only 3 quarks, two up quarks and a down quark. There are actually no objects that consist of 4 quarks. Only objects of a quark and an anti quark, or three quarks, or, very recently discovered, 5 quarks, can exist. This is due to the way that the strong force couples to quarks and to a peculiar behavior that it exhibits called color confinement, which requires all objects with color charge to exist as a "colorless object", meaning that a quark can be paired with a an anti quark with the same color charge, canceling out and making a "black" object , or three quarks, one with each color charge, can be paired to make an object that is "white" object. Keep in mind that non of these things are actually colored. Anyway. Otherwise fantastic video and fantastic work in general

[@vixxcelacea2778]

The other idea is that entire world of pokemon is a giant simulation, meaning, nothing has mass and everything is actually digital, which would make sense considering in the series, clearly dangerous things that happen do not generally kill people, like being flamed by a Charizard. This would also allow for all the technology and powers that exist in that universe, including pokemon themselves. This would mean that the pokeball breaks down the sent information that makes up the visual representation of the pokemon with an algorithm for them breaking out. Basically, complex VR which is complex enough for people to live their lives in a world that has very different rules, because everything is digital. Your brain is a jar. And we can in fact do this in the future considering pretty much anything can be broken down into information, likely more complex than just zeros and ones, but still a similar idea. That or exactly what the theory said. This is why transporters are a no-no for many. Breaking down something into parts means death. Basically, you constantly create a clone over and over, but the original is always gone which the original is the you.

[@mockman100k]

[@merlinthelemurian3197]

@Caylon Gorell heat death likely won't happen as dark energy is the only reason it would happen and dark energy is still energized/charged from the big bang, as dark energy continues to dissipate causing the universe to further expand, it will lose its potential whereas dark matter will not. We'll either be left with floating galaxies separated from each other by millions of light years, or if dark matter is present in the space between galaxies, we could perhaps experience a big crunch, which could lead to another big bang.

[@whatthefridge1o1]

Also pokeballs shrink and grow in the anime so that can fit on a belt

[@BennyHyena]

Actually that can be done in theory. if an object shrinks it usually means it becomes denser. atoms don't necessarily have to be lost or gained meaning the pokeball would weigh about the same. but that begs another question. if trainers are only allowed to carry 6 pokemon at a time (actual canon info) then what's the point of shrinking? wouldn't they all fit around the waist at their normal size?

Great theory, however not true. When you have a Pokémon that has been poisoned inside a pokeball, he still decays in health. This is simply not possible unless the computer storing the data continues some timer which is highly unlikely in a system meant to store Pokémon. I personally think the pocket dimension theory is more likely.

[@HobgoblinGirlboss]

Interesting corollary: When you use a TM or HM on a Pokemon, the Pokeball must "teach" the Pokemon the move by reassembling it in just the right way so that it knows the move. Additionally, Pokemon have always been shown to adamantly resist capture, but once they've been in and out of a Pokeball, they warm right up to the trainer. Again, this must be caused by the Pokeball making slight adjustments to the Pokemon's brain when rematerializing it.

[@sigmundfraud7068]

Okay so I saw this video when I was around 12 or 13, and, after a tweenage existential crisis, I came to the conclusion that breaking down a mind and reconstructing it is no different then simply passing through time. If you think about it, you are constantly becoming a new person with each moment that passes. In fact, you can even say that with each moment the present you dies and a future you is born. Therefore the stasis of death is really just a pause in the loop as you die and do not become your future self. It’s hard to explain my thought process here, but just know that this video drove a child insane.

[@Gears_Starting]

5:00 "All the things that make a human a human, and, coincidentally, an animal an animal." Since we are talking about the science of things, I would like to point out that we, as humans, by definition, are animals also, so I feel that what was said there should have been worded differently. The definition of an animal is "a living organism that feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli." I hear some people try to make a distinction between humans and animals, but the fact of the matter is that we belong to the animal kingdom also. That is not to say that we are exactly the same as other creatures. All species are different from one another and none are exactly like the other. However, speaking as if humans are some how another type of being in a separate kingdom as if we are plants or something should not be done.

[@fayetaylor8209]

+Cole macGraph Who?

[@pewdiepiemoderator3419]

Actually, humans and animals are different. No animal has the ability to create a civilization that can learn and grow within itself. The reason is because humans have, something science can NOT explain. The conscience. It's like gravity. Always there, cannot be touched nor seen, but is always there. The conscience teaches us to think for ourselves, think of ideas and grow as a civilization. And while animals do understand how to walk, eat, and build ant hills, and beaver dams, those are instincts. The birds 2000 years ago builder the same looking nests as they do today however, humans have built sturdier housing, with better materials, I mean, humans have designed machines that can fly a person through the air and into outer space. While, birds still dig up worms and build little nests. Do you see the difference? Humans have a conscience. Animals have instincts.

[@pewdiepiemoderator3419]

And quite honestly, I don't care if that reply pissed you off. Because I know what you're blatantly hinting at. But here's this, what the fuck will you do when you die and it's time to meet your maker? Oh, just tell him science mislead you. That will work.

[@Priestofgoddess]

We may be more evolved than all the other animals, but not as much we like to believe in our hybris. We are still often controlled by our instincts, mainly because we refuse to accept, that this could be the case. All this fearmongering in politics for examples aims at one of our most basic instincts. On the other hand we are losing more and more important instincts like empathy. Also our technilogical level surpassed our social evolution stage, many behaviours are outdated but still imprinted.

[@pewdiepiemoderator3419]

Priestofgoddess I understand your perspective and I have studied it a lot. It's understandable that a pig does not birth a fish, or a cow. And we have seen hereditary traits being passed down. But science must be observable. Therefore we must use our eyes to find out how it works. We have observed Darwinian evolution.

[@sirhilbert9221]

Dear ShoddyCast, your use of quantum mechanic (QM), particularly quantum entanglement (QE), is lacking in not only practicality but also in a fundamental understanding of the probabilistic nature of the quantum realm. When you collapse the wave function (observe the particle) of an entangled pair, you force the particles to produce an observable result on both ends, instantaneously, regardless of distance between the pair. This "spooky action at a distance" seems to violate special relativity until one accepts the fact that you have no control over what the wave function collapses into. In other words, you can't send information through QE. Instead one can only conclude that there is a direct correlation between the observations made of the two, previously entangled, particles. Thus teleportation is impossible as you have no way of controlling what a particle can collapse into. Besides this, the computational capabilities needed to analyze, compress, "entangle" and send a rattata too where ever in seconds wont exist for another century or so (ignoring quantum computing). And even if it did, it is much more realistic to conclude that with such computational capacity, people in the pokemon realm live in a matrix-esque virtual reality where pokemon exist and are as conscious and real as the computer generated stimuli fed into Ashe's brain. TL;DR: To quote Richard Feynman, "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics."

[@Wheres0My0Weed]

So if we use atoms that are entangled, no more lag... NO MORE LAG!

[@WintersFinalstand]

That is the theory, but also the issue. You can't entangle multiple atoms with each other. You can only entangle 1 atom to 1 atom. basically 2 way communication. This also means that a linked device is linked to 1 device. To take a example of a multiplayer game of 40 people and a single server. The server has 40 entangled atoms, of which the 40 people each have 1 of the paired atoms, IE. I have 1 pair, to one of those 40 atoms at the server. Virtually, the only lag is computing speed, but this is the issue too. To add any new players, you need to give and equip them with their very own personal paired atom with which to communicate, and add it's pair to the server as well. Virtually, we can not create a multiplayer game of any kind through quantum entanglement, because everyone who is going to play needs the specific machine paired to the server. Even talking to friends, those friends must have the paired atom. To all assets and friends you talk, you must have 1 atom linking to them. To get a new addition to anything you can reach, you must receive a new atom, as well as the person or object with which you are communicating. In terms speaking of galactic communication, you can have a dozen worlds in communication easily, but to add a new world to that list, the new world needs to be equipped with a individual phone line to each of the new worlds individually, as well as those worlds also getting their very own phone that is connected to the new world. To further limit this, the same atom that is entangled on each world must have each planet ship their pair to the new planet. Once this infrastructure is in place, phenomenal, but also extremely costly. You will absolutely not be able to do this on a mass scale, and it will be expensive. Let alone making a living breathing network of data like the internet today. So while lag is bad, the very fact you can communicate half way across the world even witha ping of 500 is insane, as that is months of travel. But it is only by this pattern that we can plug and go to the largest information source ever invented n the history of Man. We will never see quantum entanglement on a personal scale, not unless we can find a way to send the right single to our computers and our computer being able to entangle and dis-entangle freely and at will.

[@JoeJoeTater]

Sadly, that's not how it works. While it's true that the states are instantly teleported, you can't actually use them to transfer information. For the person on the receiving end to be able to "read" the message on their entangled particles, they need the sender to tell them what state the sending particles were in to begin with. The sender has to use something classical (aka, not using entanglement) to give this info to the receiver. So, the fastest you can actually send information is still light speed. Besides, lag is usually due to decoding, processing, and encoding, not the actual transit time in a wire.

That doesn't really make sense either way... and quantum entenglement don't really work that way. There is still the same problem with mass. Since the pokeball would have to supply the elemental particles to receive the states and would still be denser than the sun and the pokemon it carries. Otherwise, this theory implies that the pokeball would be able to create mass from the void... Which bring a lot of other problems, like how it could cope with all the antimatter without exploding and irradiating everything.

[@Oskanwhitchfather]

Negative matter. The Pokeballs would create negative matter to balance out the matter it creates, essentially keeping the galactic scales balanced. OR, it could be pulling this matter from chunks of raw matter (Iron, calcium, magnesium, etc) from a storehouse hooked into the quantum system and use these building blocks to create Pokemon every time the Pokemon is released. Of course, the latter opens up a huge amount of issues involving FTL travel, teleportation, and breaking all sorts of physic laws....

Well, if you search for weights of pokemons, you can easily understand my statement. There are many moments, when Ash, or one of his friends, is carrying around some pokemon. Yeah, many pokemons are small and light, but there are even moments, when these kids are carrying around pokemon heavy about 100 to 150 kilograms. With an ease. Possibly even while riding on a bike. Or even carrying it on their head. So, we definitely know, that we shouldn't fear the pokemons or pokeballs, but the trainers. Because those 10 years old little fucks could easily break you in half and snap your head off with one arm, while cooking a dinner.

Dude what the heck

[@seasonedgoreentertainment5712]

There was an episode where someone pulled a gun on Ash...why did Ash get scared? If he was a demi-god why would he fear that?

[@seasonedgoreentertainment5712]

+Seasonedgore Entertainment forgot about the creepy pasta that Ash died...erm shit

[@danieljames1868]

+Seasonedgore Entertainment because, quite frankly? There's _no fucking way_ that trainers are anything special. Imagine how strong pokéverse humans that do strength training would be. Any gun designed on such a world would have to be proportionally powerful; a gun that can't do its job has no reason to exist, after all.

[@HateshWarkio]

Seasonedgore Entertainment Maybe the man-made weapons are their only weakness? Since we've seen, that high voltage and blazing flames do nothing to them. Or explosions. Or high pressure stream of water able to crush rocks. Or anything, that pokemons can use against them.

5 years ago? I feel old already...

[@nathanwirth3540]

Pokeballs have a pocket universe inside them. DEBUNKED

[@Cheshieruu]

So is it different for every pokeball? Or are they all in the same pocket universe?

[@nathanwirth3540]

The Ever-present Cheshire I suppose so, if that's how different tiers of balls work. Poke balls would be a basic little universe, with Master Balls being a Pokemon paradise.

[@Cheshieruu]

+Nathan Wirth But why is that? Why are Masterballs better? And does that mean every Pokemon in pokeballs end up in the same universe? How do they heal, then?

[@ProjectEchoshadow]

The games state Pokemon can be stored as data on a computer, whatever that means. So pokeballs just have digital Pokemon (digimon for short) these digimon are converted back to Pokemon when they're set forth to battle. When a Pokemon is being converted to a digimon it can fight off the process but once it's converted it is made more loyal by altering the data which we know is possible since you can get disks that teach digimon new moves to be used when in Pokemon form.

[@whywhy8276]

Wow you just had to have digimon now huh?

[@ProjectEchoshadow]

Bruce Rawr Compare Digimon to Porygon.

[@goon44tone]

not sure how old you are but you do know Digimon are already a thing right had their own show and everything

[@ProjectEchoshadow]

toneythakilla yeah that was my attempt at comedy. But thank you for pointing that out. I assume if I were funnier people wouldn't think I'm just an idiot.

[@goon44tone]

+ProjectEchoshadow lol I get it now yeah I just wasn't sure you you knew about it and totally thought you made it up lol

[@MikePhantom]

STOP don't become more like game theory STOP WITH THE PRETENTCIOUS CLICK BAIT-ISH THUMBNAILS

[@Lucivius27]

He has always been using real science in pop culture in his video. How dumb are you? And besides Game theory doesn't own theorizing Pokemon.

[@clockworkkirlia7475]

*Pats you.* It's all ok. It's just what they need to do nowadays. Everyone needs to eat.

[@MikePhantom]

Jewel Jade Flores idiot read again. i said stop using click baity thumbnails. its also a plea not to run as cooperate as game theory (even though they are contractualy bind to G2A) and go the same way . austiin even admits they are more "game theory" then usual in this video. its not using science to theorize you idiot, its being a car-sales man selling half baked theories that ignore evidence just to deliver a theory for youtube red money

[@clockworkkirlia7475]

Shroom1Up There's no need to get angry about it. We're not even paying for this, remember?

[@Deadliestninja8]

I watch game theory and him and they're both cool

[@corvax8644]

[@synesthesia2699]
