- Exactly, - Ayano says primly. - You need to understand something about art, Heinous-kun. In art, it's not about "what," but "how." Your comment, however sincere and straightforward it may be, lacks form and a direction of thought. In its current state, it's just something banal, perhaps slightly amusing, but otherwise it doesn't contribute anything to the discussion. However, if you were to wrap it in a sprawling, aesthetic form, like the branches of a weeping willow, add a metaphor, indicate hidden meanings and some philosophical allusions, season it with an expression of your own elevated emotions evoked by this image, make it a little more abstract, shifting the focus from a single, mundane statement to an overall atmosphere, leaving only a hint of your original thought, which would be interesting for others to interpret in their own way - and do all of the above using sophisticated language, without profanity, and without overdoing the pretentiousness for its own sake - then, that same comment, with the same meaning, would become so vibrant that it could be printed and hung in a frame in the hall of fame of the Margel Art Academy. Do you understand what I mean? Dull people perceive "sophistication" as "stiffness," looking at boring old men chewing on some meaningless historical facts with their dry gums, but this is the same extreme as absolute simplicity, only with a different sign, and therefore no less nonsense. But high art can bring real pleasure and fun, much more than simplicity - if you approach it with intelligence and a spark, maintaining balance and a fresh perspective. This is a very useful skill that you should learn while you are still young and at the peak of your abilities, and fortunately, you have a predisposition to not be an absolute simpleton.
