In "Psycho-Pass," the cherry blossom holds significance for Shinya Kogami as it is associated with his past and his present.
His Close Bond with Sasayama (Past)
In Japanese culture, the cherry blossom serves as a reminder of their friendship and the fragility of life. And so his relationship with his former colleague and friend, Sasayama.
Cherry blossoms are often used as a symbol of transience and the fleeting nature of life in Japanese culture. In the case of Kogami, the cherry blossom represents memories of Sasayama, who had a profound impact on him. Sasayama's death deeply affected Kogami, and additionally, the cherry blossoms are often depicted in scenes where Kogami is reflecting on his past or contemplating the nature of justice and revenge.
They symbolize the beauty and impermanence of life, as well as the bittersweet memories of his time spent with Sasayama.

His Deep Connection with Akane (Present)
...The cherry blossom holds symbolic significance in the relationship between Akane Tsunemori and Shinya Kogami, though its interpretation can vary depending on the context and individual perspectives.
Shared Memory: The cherry blossom serves as a shared memory between Tsunemori and Kogami, representing their past experiences and the bond they share as colleagues and friends within the Public Safety Bureau. It may evoke nostalgia between the two, for simpler times, and moments of camaraderie amidst the complexities of their work.
Reflection of Transience: Like in Japanese culture, the cherry blossom can symbolize the transient nature of life and the impermanence of relationships. In the case of Tsunemori and Kogami, their partnership is fleeting, as Kogami eventually leaves the Public Safety Bureau to pursue his own path. The cherry blossom may serve as a reminder of the ephemeral nature of their connection and the inevitability of change.
Unspoken Emotions: In some interpretations, the cherry blossom may also symbolize unspoken emotions or unfulfilled desires between Tsunemori and Kogami. The beauty and fragility of the cherry blossom could reflect the underlying feelings or tensions that exist beneath the surface of their professional relationship, suggesting a deeper connection that remains unexpressed.
Overall, the cherry blossom holds multifaceted symbolic meaning Kogami's life.
While, Kogami doesn't initially prioritize building a personal relationship with anyone, his interactions and experiences ultimately shape his connection with other characters.
The profound impact that Sasayama's presence and absence had on Kogami's life helped shape Kou-chan's character development.
Whereas, Tsunemori's importance to Kogami may not be as immediately as his connection like what he had with Sasayama, yet her role in his life and her influence on his character are significant and cultivate his present journey in PSYCHOPASS-verse.
POV: Sketch Attempt for Akane revamp. But yeah, long hair wasn't possible to the original concept.
Note: Just found this one in the media pamphlets. But I'm always wondering how would it look like if Kou-chan's most favorite people; Akane-chan and Sasayama-san work together? 🤔
POV: Kogami-san's attempt to bake a cake for Akane-chan 😅🤭🤣. But ends up eating half of it with Ginoza, because she's late.
POV: Akane-chan thinking who to celebrate her birthday with? 🎉🎂🥳

It's okay to be not so perfect,
It's okay to endure bad days,
It's okay to take care of yourself and spend some alone time, sometimes.
IT'S OKAY TO BE YOU 😊❣️
This is simply the best ❣️ Hoping that this will be the end scene of S4. Let's add this beautiful quote, and Voila!:
Meet me in outer space. We could spend the night. Watch the earth come up. I've grown tired of that place. Won't you come with me? We could start again.
Sup. Since @blackshadow2084 requested one for Gino, I'm here to deliver. Get your man, Ginoza fans. (@latentillusion) Some KouGino and SuGino as well.
Idk if these are a hit or miss, I have a soft spot for Gino, so I didn't crack many jokes at his expense.
Let's take a sip on a white coffee mug ☕ to celebrate our favorite Criminal Analyst Psychology Professor's bday 🎂
KoAka fandom misses you so much 😭🤧🤗🥰
I couldn't sketch him nor display a sketch layout of him because I have some project tasks to catch up with. But I saw people posting their fanart online. They all look so cool❣️💗
