My favourite episode of Heavenly Delusion. It's heartbreaking. It's also the point where you can start connecting some major dots.

btw. on what you asked about yesterday after e7 talking about dysgraphia: There is actually dysgraphia and agraphia. The former being a developmental disorder and the latter being from brain injury/damage.
There can be quite a lot of different points where the neural damage/deficit could happen to cause this, one possibility is that the motor cortex relating to certain movements or procedural memory is damaged. Or that the connection between semantic memory and motor areas of the brain are damaged. Or that working memory is damaged. For Alexia there could be a decent amount of similar issues esp. related to long term (semantic) or working memory. it could be that the connection between areas of the brain that interpret visual information and areas of the brain that give (semantic) meaning to things is damaged for example.
The crazy thing about Neuroscience, esp. regarding brain-function is that while we can point out "general" areas where different parts of our cognition, feelings, etc. happen in the end the brain is not just highly modular, but also incredibly adaptable (esp. in children, where neuroplasticity is really high and the brain literally forms up until you turn 25-ish), so for one person a brain injury might lead to a defect while in another case the function is taken over by different parts of the brain (after an initial deficit after the incident). Dead brain tissue can't heal, but it can be adapted around. All you can say really for dysgraphia for example is that there are parts of the frontal lobe (working memory), temporal lobe (long term memory) and parietal lobe (motor functions) that can be responsible for the disorder. There are more specific names for the most likely areas, but topology of the disorder is variable.
In Maru's case I would guess if he has damage its probably a developmental issue rather than something caused from a stroke or smth. But if could ofc be. There are kids out there who have strokes, who have tumors, etc. Or accidents. The most likely thing tho is either a birth defect (genetic or pre-natal) that leads to developmental issues or possibly malnutrition growing up (given the setting very likely). Can be anything tho really. Think genetics is listed as a big contributing factor as well for conditions like Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, etc.
