OOC: A Black Diamond Apple. Interesting.
This is the Black Diamond Apple, and its origin is truly unique. It grows primarily in the Nyingchi region of the Tibetan Plateau, over 3,000 meters high, where trees endure intense sunlight during the day and freezing temperatures at night.
So what makes it different from a normal apple? Mostly its color. Despite its name, it isn’t truly black but a deep purple shade created by the region’s high altitude, strong UV exposure, and dramatic temperature swings. The flavor is often described as sweeter and more aromatic, as if the harsh climate concentrated its sugars. Nutritionally, though, it’s similar to other apples.
The empowering truth about the Black Diamond Apple is that it has become a symbol of resilience and potential, thriving in the challenging high-altitude environment of Tibet. [Source] [1] [2]
OOC: Black Diamond Apples are rare, hard to grow, and expensive. They are grown in harsher environments, and are said to taste slightly better than regular apples. They are also expensive because of those reasons. Does it ring a bell? Can you see the correlation between Mafia!Iruma and the apple's symbolism? Iruma, who grew up in a harsh environment as a child? Who is still the kindest person in the room regardless of that? Whose struggles shaped who he becomes? Who's the Under-boss of the Mafia, and is set to become the Don one day?
OOC: Am I looking too much into this? Probably? Do I care? Not at all. I also wrote a 1k essay on the cave scene of the bakuten shoot beyblade movie (which is also on Tumblr somewhere) years ago {edit: found it. It's from my old blog from like years ago}, so I'm pretty much used to this. Even if the symbolism isn't intended, it's fun to make your own interpretations out of it. Anyways, that's all Iru-mod has to say about this. I saw the cover page on twitter and IMMEDIATELY rushed here.
