Apothecary Diaries 1x21-22

ignorance can make you look horrible...sort of like calling someone with a disability a sociopath. A old word of advice never judge a book by its cover is a classic to teach people not to jump to assumptions so quickly. Everyone knows the saying but not follow it haha.

Chinese plum blossoms (cherry blossoms tend to be denser) are symbols of perseverance, resilience, and hope due to the fact that they bloom in late winter when there is still snow on the ground. Also had a really big crush on a girl throughout highschool and up till I was almost 30 who was a good friend and loved blue roses for the same reason. Ended up making a habit of sending her a dozen blue Kawasaki style origami roses and at one point a bunch of sapphire blue metal roses as birthday gifts with other stuff (for the record yes good friends, but she's from the UK so we would ship gifts to each others. She'd usually send me stuff like drafting kits or manuals for different crafts, I'd send her books)

btw the disease lakan has is a real thing. it is called prosopagnosia

Lakan actually isn't a sociopath. He has a medical condition called Prosopagnosia. He is only able to see faces when both respect AND love cause his brain to overwrite the disorder for specific persons. Sociopaths with the disorder never see a face a day in their life. Learning to see faces as something other than faces is actually one of the common coping techniques used in order to partially counteract the disorder, and requires years of mental training and therapy. Usually they are taught to picture faces as something that they interact with either in their daily life, or as a favorite hobby to increase the likelihood of eventually gaining the ability to see faces. However, just as you instinctively wanted to call him a sociopath, most people consider people with prosopagnosia to either be dumb for not recognizing people or evil for having developed the coping technique because it is partially dehumanizing. What neither of them realize is that people with prosopagnosia are usually geniuses of the highest caliber and the disorder has already dehumanized everyone in the eyes of the person who has the disorder. And so as a result , the coping technique is a desperate attempt at trying to rehumanize them enough to become a functional member of society. There is the difference between developing it later in life and being born with it as well. Developing it later in life is actually more debilitating, and is usually a sign of a long-term potentially fatal neurological condition. Being born with it, however, is actually possible through a series of random genetic traits lining up in the wrong way, no mutation or disease needed. Edit: corrected spelling mistakes, and adding further context. Effectively lockhon was able to see her face the moment he realized she was his daughter for certain, as he had already gained respect for her intellect and her as a person through her reputation and the work she did to protect the imperial family. That moment is, I think, when he looked pale at Jinshi carrying her out of the Temple a few episodes back, as he was angry that she was struck, but couldn't see the injury before when the guard hit her, since it was on her face and he couldn't see it. Then, the genuine fear on his face when she was carried out bleeding only makes sense if he could see that she was fully unconscious , which, given how Jinshi was carrying her, would have only been able to be evident by her face.

Blue roses have been cultivated (through genetic engineering) in 2002, which is also the birth year of Ado (japanese singer) and became her sign. A blue rose in japan stands for the Impossible becoming reality. You might have heard some of Ados work as she did quite some anime openings and the One Piece Film Red Soundtrack.
