Comment on Kusuriya no Hitorigoto • The Apothecary Diaries - Episode 23 discussion
eldritch_lich@lemmy.world 6 months agoYeah this episode explains a lot of Lakan’s earlier actions. He was basically communicating in the only way he knew how. If his family we’re more attentive he might have been better at sensing social cues instead of seeing everyone as game pieces. It’s pretty clear to me at least that he’s not actually incapable of it, he’s just trying to understand something unfamiliar by reframing it in the context of a game.

Yeah, currently it definitely seems that he isn’t a bad person, the dominoes just fell in such a way that we are where we are and not because he intentionally abandoned Fen Xian and Maomao.
This episode also revealed that Lakan’s uncle is Maomao’s adoptive father, wonder what affect that’ll have on the story going forward. I hope they’ll explain why Lakan never tried to find out what happened to Fen Xian, it seems he just assumed she passed away completely unaware of her current status.
