Anya Forger/Synopsis

History
Anya's true origins, as well as the source of her telepathic abilities, are largely unclear. Prior to being found at the orphanage, she was made by accident, an unintended consequence of research experiments conducted by an unknown organization. She was code-named 'Test Subject "007"' and was treated very strictly by the scientists, who forbade her from playing and forced her to learn how to use her powers, seemingly for the sake of world peace.

She later escaped the research facility and moved from institution to institution, seeking someone to take care of her. Several of the scientists seen in her memories are also seen during Bond's time as a Project Apple subject, suggesting a connection between them.

Before she met Loid, Anya had been fostered and returned four times and transferred between two other orphanages. During this, she went under different surnames and eventually ended up at the shady orphanage. In his investigation, Franky discovers that Anya has no birth records, thus, having no known age or birth parents.

While little is known about Anya's biological parents, when Murdoch Swan forces her to compare her to Yor, the girl is left speechless and brought to tears as she recalls her mother. This suggests that Anya's mother or mother figure had a profound impact on her before her disappearance; Loid speculates that since Anya ended up in an orphanage, the situation must not have ended well. She is always seen holding a chimera doll, later nicknamed "Director Chimera," in her spy roleplay.

According to Loid's falsified background, Anya's biological mother passed away two years ago, and Loid has been raising her as a single father since then. Her mother's dying wish was for her to attend a good school.

Introduction Arc
Anya is first introduced to Loid Forger at the orphanage when Loid asks for a child capable of reading and writing. Anya becomes aware of Loid's true identity as a spy by reading his mind and lies about her age and intelligence to persuade Loid into adopting her. When they go on a shopping trip, Anya inadvertently exposes her true intellect, or lack thereof, by misreading a bakery sign for bacon and attempting to purchase a 1 dalc poster with a 10 pent coin. She bursts into tears when Loid considers returning her for another child, only placated once Loid buys her a bag of peanuts. She gets tired mid-way, forcing Loid to carry her home while she sleeps.

The next day, Anya refuses to study, intending to rely on her telepathic abilities to cheat. After Anya attempts to follow Loid outside, he barricades her inside their apartment. Bored, she manages to access Loid's spy tools and plays with his radio, unaware her transmission and location were picked up by Edgar. His goons later kidnap her, and he intends to use her as a hostage to blackmail Loid into doing their bidding. There, she witnesses Edgar shooting one of his men who suggested he focus on something else besides the foreign minister's hairpiece. Anya is rescued by Loid, who sneaks in disguised as Nguyen, one of Edgar's goons. When Loid attempts to persuade her to going to a police station to be put in a better orphanage, she instead remains and later asks to stay with Loid, and they move to a new apartment.

Using a copy of the test questions, Loid helps Anya to memorize the answers to the entrance exam. During the exam, Anya briefly panics when she realizes she cannot use her telepathic abilities to cheat, as the other children are panicked and unfocused. She eventually calms down and remembers what Loid taught her. After the exam, they are overjoyed to find that Anya managed to pass, but they soon receive a letter from Eden Academy about the second phase of the admissions process, the family interview.

Upon discovering they require a mother for the interview, Loid attempts to disguise his informant Franky Franklin as one but fails. Seeing Loid having difficulty finding a wife, Anya asks if she is at fault for keeping the potential mothers away. Loid tells her it is not her fault and sends her away to watch television. Loid later brings her to a boutique to be measured for clothing, wishing to make her more presentable. When Anya interrupts Loid and Yor Briar's conversation, she finds out about Yor's secret job as an assassin through mind-reading. Amused by the combination of their secret identities and starved for entertainment, Anya matchmakes the two of them.

Admissions Interview Arc
After Loid and Yor become legally married, Anya welcomes Yor to their house and helps her move in. Loid tries to do a mock interview as practice, but Yor and Anya are hopeless at answering. Loid decides to take them out on a trip in the hopes of cultivating some upper-class knowledge and shared experiences. Anya holds Yor's hand on the way but runs off in fear when she hears Yor reminiscing about when she accidentally broke her brother's ribs. During their outing, Anya dozes off at the opera hall and runs around the art gallery, pointing at a nude painting and statues missing body parts. During a political campaign, Anya becomes dizzy due to telepathically listening to the large crowd, and they have a meal at a restaurant. Worried about Loid, Yor brings them to a rooftop she often goes to for a break.

When a thief steals an old woman's purse, Anya helps locate the thief by reading all the thoughts of the people in the area, though she gets a nosebleed from the exertion. She draws Loid's attention to the thief by asking for cake and pointing at a cake shop. After the thief is caught and the Forgers return the stolen purse, the old woman expresses her gratitude. As the family banters, she tells them that they look like a wonderful family. At home, Loid retries the mock interview with better results.

Loid prepares Yor and Anya before they leave for Eden Academy. At the gates, Loid checks up on Anya to ensure she is okay with the crowd. Following Loid's lead, Anya salutes the statue of Eden Academy's founder. Upon seeing a young student stuck in a gutter, Loid signals to her, and Anya suggests they help the boy out. When Loid pulls him out, mud is splattered all over his and Anya's clothes, but they get a change of clothes from Yor. When a horde of animals escape from the school farm, the applicants panic and try to run away, causing Anya to become overwhelmed and dizzy by everyone's thoughts. After Yor disables the cow leading the stampede, Anya empathizes with the cow's fear and gently comforts it. Pacified, the cow gets up and returns to its home, along with the other animals. Afterwards, Henry Henderson rushes out to commend their abilities.

After successfully making it to the admissions interview, Anya and her parents wait to be called in. Anya gets nervous while reading Loid's thoughts. Once they are called, the interview begins with questions for Loid and Yor. When they interview her, Anya forgets the answer to a question and says Loid's thoughts by mistake. Loid quickly covers for her and makes up an answer. When the interviewers ask her to give a score to her parents, Anya answers with 100 points. Murdoch Swan maliciously asks her if she prefers her old mother or her new mother, causing her to start crying and calling out for her. Loid and Yor are furious at Murdoch and abruptly end the interview after Loid smashes the table.

The family returns home, and Anya apologizes to Loid for doing badly at the interview. She is desperate for Loid's mission to succeed so they can stay together. Yor encourages them to be optimistic since Henry and Walter Evans liked them, and they clink their cups to celebrate their hard work. However, a family photo falls as a bad omen.

On the day the admissions are announced, the Forgers look for Anya's application number on the board and are dismayed when it is not there. As they prepare to leave, Henry stops them and shows a waiting list with Anya's name at the top. Yor imagines killing the parent of another applicant to ensure Anya's enrollment, much to Anya's amusement. Three days later, they receive a call announcing Anya's acceptance into Eden Academy and happily celebrate. Franky comes over shortly with a bottle of wine to celebrate and suggests that Loid give Anya something as a reward. Anya excitedly says she wants Loid to do something instead. She shows Loid a scene from Spy Wars, wishing to get rescued in a castle. Loid rents a castle, and invites several of his fellow agents to act as guests. Anya designates Loid as the spy who saves her and Franky as the boss of League of Evil, then hides behind a turned-over table as her prison. After Loid defeats Franky and Yor, he rescues "Princess Anya," who hugs him. Anya tells Loid she will work hard, and they go to the balcony to look at the stars.

Eden Beginnings Arc
At the same boutique as before, Anya is getting measured for her new uniform. Anya happily announces that she has grown two millimeters since the last time they were there. When the seamstress warns them about kidnapping incidents, Anya becomes fearful and says she does not want to go to Eden Academy anymore. The seamstress apologizes for scaring Anya and reassures her. Five days later, Loid receives a call from the boutique and asks Yor to take Anya to pick up her finished uniform there.

At the boutique, Anya proudly poses in her new uniform. They stop by the park on the way, and Anya shows off her new uniform to the parkgoers. Yor suggests they go to the market so that she can try cooking dinner. After they finish shopping, Anya goes outside to wait while Yor pays the cashier. While exiting, Anya is ambushed by several delinquents intending to extort Yor for money. Before they can do anything to Anya, Yor chases them off and hugs Anya to comfort her. Anya asks Yor to train her so she can stay strong for school. They return home, and Yor trains Anya with physical exercises, much to Loid's confusion when he returns home.

On Orientation Day, the Forgers listen as a faculty member gives a speech congratulating the new students. Anya reads Loid's mind and learns of his Plan B: "The Friendship Scheme," which has Anya befriend Damian Desmond, Donovan Desmond's second son, and eventually go to his house where Loid can meet Donovan. Thanks to Loid's work, Anya is assigned to Cecile Hall, the same class as Damian, and called forward to line up with the other students. Anya stares at Damian, making him think she is interested in him, and she turns away, annoyed. She then meets Becky Blackbell, who she initially ignores after Becky sees her as a baby. After Henry is announced as their teacher, the class leaves for their school tour, and Loid thinks about passing the torch to Anya. Having heard his thoughts, Anya stops and salutes him, causing Henry to order her to stay in line.

During the tour, the students fawn over Damian and his status as a Desmond. He sees Anya staring at him again and approaches her, asking what her father's job is, then mocks her when she says he is “a feelings doctor.” Anya tells Damian she wants to play at his house, but his friends Ewen Egeburg and Emile Elman tell her off and push her aside. An upset Anya considers punching Damian but thinks back to Yor teaching her that when someone is being mean, a cool girl laughs it off, as a smile can stop a fight before it even starts. Anya tries following Yor's lesson, but her smug smile unintentionally enrages Damian, thinking she is making fun of him, while Becky thinks she misjudged her and calls Anya grown-up. Anya is touched by her compliment and looks back to Damian with the same smile, setting him off. He starts insulting Anya, and Henry calls them out. Damian says she will pay for embarrassing him, and Anya thinks Yor was lying as smiling did not help her.

The tour continues with Damian's group harassing Anya. Anya shrugs it off with a smile, but Becky threatens to tell them off. Damian simply asks if they have proof, elbowing Becky out of the way, and he declares that he will bully Anya out of the school, so she will never smile again. Emile tells her to cry to her father to make it all better, and the friends laugh at her. She smiles again, but she has decided she has had enough. She looks around before punching Damian in the face, sending him flying into a rubbish bin. Henry rushes over to the commotion, and Anya immediately tries lying her way out of the situation. However, Ewen and Emile have proof of her attack and Henry asks Anya if she is willing to lie to his face. She starts panicking but remembers another lesson from Yor: that violence is only appropriate to use when saving a friend in trouble. Anya makes up an excuse that Damian stepped on Becky's foot earlier and apologizes for getting angry, moving Becky deeply, who thanks Anya profusely.

Henry sees Anya's action of standing up to the boys for the sake of her friend as elegant. Despite this, Henry punishes Anya with one Tonitrus Bolt, sparing her from three with his discretion. After the orientation, he informs Loid and Yor of her incident, to Loid's distress. While the commemorative group photo is taken, the Forgers are unable to hide their distressed faces.

The next morning, Anya peeks nervously at Loid from behind a wall, feeling guilty about her actions. Loid reassures her that she can learn to be more careful about fights now. After eating breakfast, Loid and Yor prepare to send Anya off on the school bus, and Loid reminds her to apologize to Damian. At the entrance, she meets Becky, who is just getting dropped off by her chauffeur. Amazed by her car and driver, Anya begins to call her "milady," and Becky suggests picking up Anya with her chauffeur next time. On the way to classes, they encounter Damian and his friends walking from the school dormitory. Becky bickers with Damian's friends and pulls Anya away in disgust before Anya can apologize to Damian.

In class, Anya is ostracized and feared by her classmates due to her punching Damian, with only Becky willing to sit beside her. Anya becomes scared due to their negative thoughts about her, but Becky happily suggests that they become best friends, which causes Anya to tune out their thoughts. During roll call, Anya senses Damian looking at her and turns around in confusion. Anya later falls asleep during class, causing the teacher to think of her as a delinquent. Becky wakes her up to go to Science class, and Anya tries to look around for Damian to apologize, but Becky reassures her that she will protect her, so she does not need to apologize. Anya realizes Loid has followed her to school in disguise when she reads his mind.

Throughout the rest of her day, Loid reminds her to apologize by altering her textbook, leaving notes, and writing on her food. When Becky interferes with Anya trying to apologize, Loid uses the PA system to call Becky to the student hall. With Becky's interference gone, Anya goes to Damian's table to apologize. Nervous from the pressure and telepathically hearing Damian's friends insult her, she burst into tears while apologizing. Refusing to swallow his pride, Damian angrily rejects her apology after realizing his developing feelings for her and runs away while blushing profusely, leaving Anya in confusion.

Loid is tutoring Anya in Math to improve her chances of becoming an Imperial Scholar. She tries to read Loid and Yor's minds to get the answer but is overwhelmed by his numerous thoughts, while Yor's thought process goes off on a tangent. Sick of studying, she runs off to her room. Loid and Yor later try to coax her out with cocoa, but she remains in her room. Later on, Loid enters her room when she does not respond and finds her sleeping at her desk, having studied on her own. He carries her and tucks her into bed while she mutters in her sleep.

Secret Police Arc
In Math class, Anya confidently calls out the answer, but she turns out to be completely wrong. At home, Anya is watching an episode of Spy Wars. She can correctly say that Bondman's gun has two-eighths of ammunition, to Loid's excitement. Yor rushes home to tell them that her younger brother is visiting that night. Seeing the "lovey-dovey marriage kit" prepared by Loid, Anya exclaims that her parents will kiss and embarrasses them. As the clock strikes nine, Anya becomes sleepy while waiting for Yuri, and Loid carries her to bed. During Yuri's visit, Anya briefly wakes up from the loud noise caused by Yor hitting Yuri but quickly goes back to sleep.

The next day, Anya discovers her uncle's identity as a member of the Secret Police by reading Loid's mind and is dismayed to find out she missed out on something exciting, despite not knowing what it really means. When she sees Loid becoming distrustful of Yor due to her brother's true identity, Anya tries to reassure him but cannot directly, due to her hiding her powers, and instead says Yor’s cooking is bad. Before getting on the school bus, Anya tells Loid and Yor to get along. When she returns home, she is happy to see Loid and Yor have resolved their differences. Loid tells her they have cake, and she becomes excited, causing Loid to warn her not to upset the neighbors downstairs.

Stella Star Arc
Before the start of class, Anya and Becky are arguing with Damian, Emile, and Ewen, while Henry gives a look of disappointment having to deal with their inelegance so early in the day. Anya returns home to tell Loid a rumor she heard from Becky that she has a chance to earn a Stella Star in P.E. class. Loid doubts this, while Yor is determined to help an excited Anya do well, and they train for the dodgeball game. Yor puts Anya through several training methods and teaches her a "killer move." On the day of the game, Anya, Becky, and Damian's gang have a bit of an argument before they line up on the court. Henderson announces that he will oversee the interclass dodgeball match between Cecile Hall and Wald Hall as Coach Bobby is out sick.

Bill Watkins, a large muscular student from Wald Hall, starts eliminating all the members of Anya’s class, leaving only Anya, Damian and another student in the Cecile Hall team. While Damian plans to survive and stand out, Bill decides to go after Anya next. He throws a low ball at her, but she reads his mind and jumps to avoid it. He throws three more shots, but they all miss her, with the final one hitting the unnamed student. Damian compliments her dodging skills while Anya inches closer to out of bounds. Becky notices this and yells at Anya to watch out for the people out of bounds. Anya tries to step back but trips and falls.

Bill sees his chance and hurls a ball toward Anya, yelling: "Die!!!" at her. Damian looks at Anya pitifully but ultimately jumps in the way of the ball and tries to catch it. He ends up failing, eliminating himself from the game. Damian realizes that he cannot get MVP now, which upsets him. Anya acknowledges his action and announces that she will get revenge for his 'death.’ She thinks back to Yor's training and uses her "killer move," throwing the ball at Bill. She ends up throwing the ball to the ground, and it bounces toward Bill, who quickly throws the ball right back and hits her, making Anya’s class lose. While the students of Wald Hall celebrate, Anya is comforted by Becky, who congratulates her for her effort. Damian and his friends walk over to Anya and yell at her for wasting his sacrifice like that, shocking Anya while Becky defends her.

The next day, Loid sees Anya's grades and sees that she failed all the tests. Loid calls out to Anya, who claims to be busy watching cartoons. He turns off the TV and carries her away so they can study as they promised, but Anya starts throwing a tantrum. They begin studying, and Loid scolds her for being unable to spell correctly. Yor joins them, takes a look at Anya's test, and compliments her for her score being not bad despite still being a failing grade. Anya had difficulty with the idiom test because she read another student's mind who also failed.

She plans to learn who is the best at each subject so she can read their mind for tests in the future. Anya reads Loid's thoughts, where he considers the risks of changing her school records to better scores, and begins to contemplate whether it is a good idea or not for her to cheat. Loid sees her gloomy mood and decides to have her try several extracurricular activities to see what she may excel in, as there is a chance to earn Stella with this method. His plan does not work, and Anya ends up face-planting after trying to vault over a box. Loid picks her up while she cries, and Yor gives her a jumping rope after she calms down. She gets tangled up when trying to use it and falls to the floor but tells Loid she will work hard.

The next day, Loid brings Anya to the city hospital, revealing that community service is another way to earn Stella. Loid and Anya receive several assignments, but Anya underperforms in all of them. When Anya tries to run off on her own, the staff excuses her and Loid from service. Anya apologizes to Loid, but he tells her that everyone makes mistakes and decides to go home. Suddenly, Anya hears Ken drowning in the rehabilitation pool and crying for help. Wanting to save him, she tries to tell Loid, but stops herself to avoid exposing her abilities. She tells Loid she will earn a Stella from swimming and runs off to practice at the pool. There, Anya frantically looks around for Ken before seeing his air bubbles and hears more of his cries for help. Anya dives into the pool after the boy, but is unable to swim and starts losing air. Luckily, Loid dives into the pool in time and saves the children.

After Loid explains the situation to the adults, they praise Anya for her efforts, despite her recklessness. At the next day of school, Anya is awarded a Stella Star for saving Ken's life. Becky and Henderson congratulate her for getting the first Stella Star in their grade, while Damian scoffs at her for getting one before him. Back at home, Ken and his family thank Anya. Yor hugs Anya tightly, and Loid pats her head, proud of her achievement. Anya realizes she can use her powers to help people and gets very happy. Yor proclaims that she will make them a special dinner, but Anya rejects the idea, shocking her mother.

Anya arrives at school proudly wearing her Stella Star on her chest. Several students begin talking in awe about how she was apparently the fastest student to get a Stella Star. Becky greets Anya, who asks to be called "Starlight Anya" from now on. Becky states that with this fame, Anya could probably make 100 friends just today. An image pops into Anya's mind of Damian asking her to be friends and Loid praising her for helping to complete his mission. However, Damian instead greets her by telling her to not get too full of herself before walking off which disappoints Anya. Becky and Anya head to their class where the students immediately begin to badmouth Anya for wearing her Stella Star in class. Other students try to assert that the whole incident was faked and she didn't deserve the Stella Star. Two girls looking for support in this ask Damian what he thinks. Instead of support though, he tells them that Eden Academy is not a third-rate school that would give out Stella Stars without merit. The girls worriedly try to take back their words before Damian cuts them off telling them to transfer if they have a problem with Eden. However, these words only hurt Damian because he knows that he has lost to Anya.

Becky and Anya head to lunch where Becky asks Anya what she got as a reward for earning a Stella Star. Anya thinks maybe she could get peanuts but Becky pushes her to think bigger like the gifts she's gotten of dresses, tiaras, and a tank. Seeing all the things Becky has gotten makes Anya frightened at the amount of money the Blackbell family has. Anya decides that she wants a castle but Becky tries to get her to lower her request size. Becky brings up the dog that she got which makes Anya curious. Anya sees Damian and his gang walking by so she asks Damian if he has a dog. Damian shrugs off the question but Anya reads his mind and sees him playing with his dog Max. Anya envisions a future where she tells Damian that she got a dog which makes Damian want to compare the cuteness of the dogs. Loid and Anya then head to Donovan and Damian's house where Loid asks Donovan to end this war, thus achieving world peace.

When Anya arrives home, she tells Loid and Yor that she wants a dog as a reward for her Stella Star. Yor tells Anya that taking care of an animal is a big responsibility but Loid tells Anya that he'll give the idea some thought. Loid envisions a guard dog that can be used to protect Anya whereas Yor envisions a dog that would attack and kill Anya. After reading their minds, Anya tells the two of them that she wants a small cute dog which makes Yor envision a small dog slashing Anya's throat with a knife in its mouth. Loid decides that they should go to a pet shop over the weekend to see what's available. Somewhere else, a large, fluffy white dog's ears perk up as it gets a vision of the Forgers happily smiling at him.

Before their trip to the pet shop, Loid is tasked with an extra mission to take down an arms dealer, which Anya hears about with her mind-reading. While she and Yor clean up after eating, she is shocked to hear that Yor is worrying about the smell of blood from yesterday's kill not washing off. Later in the evening, Loid returns home to announce a family outing and picks an aquarium after seeing Anya's penguin drawing. He then tells her to look forward to the weekend, which gets Anya excited.

On the day of their outing, Anya and Yor see Loid's visible exhaustion but proceed anyway at his insistence. They run into one of their neighbors on their way out, and Anya attempts to help them look normal by explaining that they are all a happy family after hearing Loid's concerns. At the aquarium, Anya is amazed by all the marine life and has fun running around. The Forgers also run into more of their neighbors, and Anya is amused by Loid's thoughts as he attempts to get away from them so he can focus on his latest extra mission. Loid takes the group to the penguin exhibit to find a penguin who has important data with it but has no idea where to start looking among the 200 penguins in the exhibit. Seeing her father in trouble, Anya reads the minds of the penguins and hears the thoughts of a penguin coughing, and she points him out to Loid.

Loid leaves to investigate, and Anya later follows after him. She sees him confront a terrorist attempting to take the penguin, and after Loid decides not to pursue him when he flees, Anya decides to do it herself. She manages to catch up with the terrorist and grabs him by his jacket hem, then yells to a nearby Yor who is looking for her that she is being kidnapped. Yor rushes in and kicks the man into the ceiling, amazing Anya. After the girls meet up with the neighbors, Loid returns with a large penguin plush for Anya, which she happily plays with. She then tells Loid to hurry so they can see the dolphin show, and the exhausted Loid asks her to slow down a bit.

After the family trip, Anya takes a liking to the penguin plush, whom she names "Penguinman" and initiates him into her "spy agency," and tours him around the house, even introducing Loid and Yor as fellow agents. Anya then tries to go to Loid's room to see his secrets but gets caught and reprimanded for trying to enter without permission. Anya starts to cry, and she threatens to run away. Loid and Yor pick up her toys and join in on her spy roleplay to calm her down. After Anya stops crying, she takes her embarrassed parents to the candy store, and she is cheered up after they buy her a snack.

Doggy Crisis Arc
Anya, Loid, and Yor arrive at Kemono Park, a local pet shop, to get a dog. Anya is excited but sees several ferocious-looking dogs prepared by WISE. Anya is disinterested in getting a dog like that, shocking Loid, so the WISE agent informs him of an adoption fair currently being held at the adoption shelter. Before the family head out, Loid receives new orders from WISE, so he tells Anya and Yor to go on ahead to the animal shelter while he uses the bathroom. Having read his mind, Anya says Loid will take a while in the bathroom, so they should go ahead, which Yor agrees to do.

Anya and Yor arrive at the animal shelter, where she runs around excitedly, looking at all the dogs. Yor sternly tells her not to run off on her own, then talks to a worker at the shelter about recommended breeds. Anya looks out the window and sees Bond Forger as he walks by. Anya reads his mind and sees herself and her family, piquing her interest in the dog. Anya contemplates telling Yor about it but decides to leave by herself. Anya heads into a building and finds a handful of dogs tied on leashes, including Bond. She then overhears Keith Kepler and the other students discussing their assassination plot. While Anya listens, another student, Kurt, catches her and reveals her to the group. They wonder what to do with Anya, and Keith says they need to take care of her and pulls out his knife. One of the students opposes this, but Keith reasons that they need to ensure she does not rat them out. However, when he tells Kurt to silence Anya, Bond jumps in between them to protect her.

Keith tells Bond to step away from Anya so he can kill her quickly. However, Anya reads Bond's mind and sees a premonition showing a phone ringing which takes the terrorists off guard. Right after seeing that premonition, the phone rings with a call from Kim, one of their co-conspirators. After they answer the phone, they notice that Anya and Bond are nowhere to be seen, as they escaped while the group was distracted.

Anya rides on Bond's back and escapes the hideout. She wonders how he knew the phone would ring and realizes he can see the future. Anya tries to direct him toward Yor so they can be protected, but Bond heads in a different direction. While initially panicked, Anya gets excited by how fast they are going. She decides to run to the police to save the day, saying that "Starlight Anya will shine again." However, Bond inadvertently runs in a circle and back to Keith and Kurt. Anya tries to turn around, but Keith stops them and tells Kurt to kill Anya. As Kurt gets ready to kill Anya, Yor comes up from behind and knocks him to the ground. She yells that Anya is too young to get married, believing that they were kidnappers she heard about on the news, while Anya is relieved.

Keith sends his German Shepherd after Yor, but she makes a scary face at the dog that scares it and Anya, who bursts into tears. The commotion causes bystanders to gather near the alleyway, so Keith runs away. Yor is about to give chase but stays with Anya to ask what happened. Anya explains the plot with the bomb dogs and how Bond saved her. After Yor searches Bond for explosives, Anya apologizes for running away. Yor is glad Anya is safe and decides to report the incident to the police, asking Anya what she remembers.

While Yor makes her call, Anya sees Bond looking into the future and reads his mind. She again sees the vision with her family, but it changes with Loid disappearing. She then sees a clock tower ringing, followed by an explosion in the city that kills Loid. After, a news broadcast announces that the terrorists succeeded in their assassination plot, with a war bound to happen. Anya is shocked by this and wonders what to do. She thinks about telling Yor but does not want to expose her or Bond's powers. Anya decides to run off with Bond to save Loid. She tells Yor that she needs to bring Loid toilet paper before hurrying to the clock tower.

Anya and Bond arrive at the clock tower plaza, where Anya tries to figure out when the explosion will happen. Anya tries to remember the positions of the clock hands in the vision but realizes that she cannot tell time. She asks a nearby man when the clock tower bell will ring, who says it will be less than 30 minutes. Bond picks up Keith's scent and drags Anya around a corner to hide. The German Shepherd smells and spots the two but does not alert Keith. Before Keith drives off, Anya hears his thoughts about the bomb he planted in the area.

Having heard all this, Anya and Bond rush to the bomb, located inside a room. Anya reaches for the doorknob, but Bond barks at her to stop, reminding her that opening it would trigger the explosion. Anya climbs through a small window by the door and prepares to disarm the bomb. As she does this, she realizes this is nothing like her cartoons, as all the wires are black. She notices some ketchup on a table and decides to use it to leave a warning about the bomb for Loid to find before leaving. The time of the explosion arrives, and Bond's premonition returns to a future with Loid alive and well, as thanks to Anya’s message, he prevented the explosion. Anya celebrates with Bond, knowing that they saved the future. Afterward, they head back to the pet shop.

Outside the pet shop, Anya and Bond run into Loid and Yor, each coming from different directions. Loid asks why they were not at the adoption fair, and they tell him their excuses. Loid then asks about Bond and learns how Yor and Anya got caught in the terrorist crisis. After apologizing for being "holed up in the restroom," he scolds Anya for running off on her own but asks if she is okay. Anya tells him that Bond saved her life, which Loid thanks him for. Handler and another WISE agent disguised as SSS agents approach the family and tell them they need to ask the Forgers some questions. After they answer the questions, Handler says they will need to take Bond because of his connections to the terrorists. However, Anya refuses the idea, telling them that she wants the dog who saved her. Loid attempts to convince her otherwise, but Anya says if she cannot keep Bond, she will never go to school again, shocking Loid and Handler.

To everyone's surprise, Handler relents. When Anya asks Handler if they will treat the other dogs well, Handler confirms it and asks her to take good care of Bond. As the family head home, Anya proudly thinks about how she saved the world by stopping the bomb and saving her father. The next day, Bond is dropped off at the Forger Residence and welcomed by the Forger Family. When he starts looking down, Anya asks if he is nervous and assures him that he is part of their family now. He excitedly barks at this, and Anya gives him a big hug.

The next morning, Anya learns she will not be getting a Stella Star for helping to stop the terrorists, as Loid states they must keep it a secret for the sake of East-West relations. Anya decides to continue with the plan of befriending Damian. She plans to tell him she got a dog in the hopes that he will invite her to his house so they can compare dogs. In class, Anya tells Becky about getting Bond, and Becky invites her to a playdate. Hearing this, Anya believes her plan will work and dashes into the hall to find Damian. She tells him that she got a dog, but Damian is indifferent to that information. Anya drops to her knees, feeling the world is doomed because her plan failed. When Damian decides to ask for the dog's name, Anya enthusiastically stands up but realizes she has not given her pet a name yet, calling him "Dog." Damian leaves, saying she is wholly unfit to own a pet, shocking Anya. At lunch, Anya struggles to find a name for her dog, and Becky tells her to let her parents handle it.

Anya arrives home and gets trampled by Bond, who is excited to see her. Loid suggests taking him for a walk, and Yor mentions a dog park by the library. On their way, Anya says she wants to walk Bond, but Loid tells her to wait until she is older, so Bond does not end up walking her. He clarifies that a dog needs constant discipline, and Anya has a responsibility to care for him for his whole life. He also suggests using plosives when naming the dog.

When they arrive at the park, Anya enthusiastically wants to play fetch with Bond. She throws her boot, hoping that he will go after it, but ends up doing it herself. She wonders if it is because he has no name yet, so she goes around the park asking dog owners for their dogs' names to help come up with one. When the family gets ready to leave, Anya realizes her gloves are missing. Bond sniffs for the gloves and finds them in a bulldog's mouth. Anya tries to get the gloves back, but the bulldog growls at her, seeing it as their possession. Bond scares the bulldog into dropping the gloves, allowing him to pick them up and return them to Anya. Anya imagines a similar scene from Spy Wars where Bondman recovers Princess Honey's stomach warmer from the League of Evil, making her realize the perfect dog name.

When they get home, Anya wraps a bowtie around the dog's neck and introduces her parents to "Bond." The whole family, including Bond, approves the name. Anya gets out Bond's food and pours it into a bowl for him. While he eats, she sneaks a bite but realizes it does not taste good. She notices Bond fidgeting, so she takes him to his "toilet," where he uses the litter box to poop. The two then head to the TV to watch Spy Wars. While they play, Loid tells her to be ready to study once he is out of the bath. While he does this, Anya and Bond fall asleep, curled against each other on the floor after playing. Charmed at the sight of it, Loid and Yor agree to give Anya a pass from studying for the night.

Midterm Exams Arc
While waiting for Yor to come home, Anya sits with Bond and asks Loid when they can eat. When Yor arrives, Loid asks if she'd like dinner, but she declines and tells him and Anya to eat without her as she is not hungry. As Yor walks to her room, Anya reads Bond's to see a vision Yor is crying, which makes her wonder why.

The next day, while Loid is training Bond, Anya tells him that she is hungry, causing him to realize how late it has gotten. Yor arrives shortly after and proudly announces that she will be making dinner, to Anya and Loid's shock. She cooks a southern stew, and after hesitantly taking a bite, Anya and Loid are surprised when it is good and tell it to Yor. While they enjoy the food, Yor starts crying out of happiness. Afterward, Yor presents them with her "Yor Forger original" dish. Anya and Loid excitedly eat it before collapsing to the ground.

One day, the Forgers head to the playground for their outing, and Anya spots a dejected Franky across the street. Loid asks Franky about how he date invitation went, and while Franky confidently claims it went well, Anya hears his true thoughts and pats him in pity. Loid has Yor look after Anya at the playground while he consoles Franky, leaving the two to have fun there.

Becky greets Anya as they head to school for the morning. Becky asks if Anya saw the latest episode of Berlint in Love that aired last night, but Anya replies that she only watches cartoons. Becky begins talking about how childish Anya for not even knowing what love is. Anya sees Damian and his friends behind them and has a plan to befriend him. Yesterday, she had a new family photo taken with Bond so she could impress Damian with him. She drops the photo on the ground and brings attention to it. However, Damian and his gang walk ahead of them, ignoring her. Becky picks it up and after seeing Loid, is smitten by his appearance. Becky keeps the photo for herself and runs off with it while Anya tries to get it back.

The students go to their arts-and-crafts class, supervised by Henry, as the art teacher is sick. For their class, they are assigned to make a three-dimensional model with the provided materials, the theme being “animals.” Choosing the groups at random, Henry puts Anya in Damian’s group. Because Becky still has the family photo, Anya decides to make a Bond model for Damian to see. After finishing her paper Bond, Anya shows it off to Damian. Indifferent to it, Damian asks if she always names her garbage, putting Anya into despair. Anya reads Damian’s mind and sees his desire to make a griffin model based on his family crest and show it off to his father. Anya imagines herself helping him make it and showing it off to Damian's father with him. Anya tells Damian that she will help him and he can use all her paper which shocks him as he did not expect her to submit her Bond model. Anya tells Damian that she just wants to help him, which makes him blush.

Damian instructs Anya to make the hind legs of the griffin and gives her the plans for the model. She instead proceeds to make jet engines which angers Damian. He tells her instead to make feathers for the wings, to which she makes a few different-sized slips of paper. He shouts at her for wasting his paper and brings the attention of Henry, who tells him off. While the students continue working on their art projects, Anya decides to convert her Bond model into a small female griffin to pair with Damian's griffin, an apology for the wings. After submitting their projects, Damian and Anya learn that his art project won first prize, as the people who saw it believed it was a powerful vision of the nation's rebound from war. Anya tells Damian that his parents will probably be proud, but Damian tells her that he has no intention of showing the art to his parents.

Henry announces to the students that their midterm exams will be in two weeks. He says the top two students in each subject will receive a Stella Star, while students who fail an exam will receive a Tonitrus Bolt for each failed one. Henry proceeds to return their history quizzes from the day prior and is disappointed to show that Anya got 13%, telling her to stay after class for remedial lessons. Meanwhile, Damian got 91% which he brags to Anya about, to her irritation. In her remedial class, Anya realizes she should read Damian’s mind when taking history quizzes and tests and begins laughing to herself, upsetting Henry, who gives her extra homework.

On the bus ride home, Anya notices the full moon and starts panicking. Rushing home, Anya asks Loid what phase the moon will be in two weeks, to which he replies the new moon. Anya is shocked by this, as her power will not work on the day of a new moon due to her weakness known as "Eclipsing," meaning she will be unable to cheat during the exam. Anya attempts to get Bond to show her the questions from the future but instead sees her dinner for the night, hamburger steak. Distracted, Anya forgets about her worries for the rest of the night, then wakes up anxious the next day, realizing she has not studied yet.

Loid attempts to help her study, but he ultimately makes no progress. Yor remembers that Yuri had offered to help Anya study, so they call him over. Yuri arrives, and Anya attempts to read his mind and is overwhelmed by his thoughts about Yor. While Loid and Yuri chat about the recent peace talks, Anya reads their minds and is excited over their secret identities. Loid takes his leave to do some errands, but not before telling Anya that she and Yuri should get to studying.

Yuri starts by giving her hard problems to solve, and Anya gets them correct by reading his mind and surprising him and Yor. Anya is asked why she even needs to study, but after remembering her Eclipsing, she tells Yuri it was dumb luck, which he hesitantly accepts. They try studying again, but Yuri gets upset after realizing she is not that bright. However, when Yor asks Yuri for help and Anya exaggerates her love for her, Yuri begins being kinder with his critiquing.

The two continue studying, but after hitting some roadblocks, Yuri questions if Anya likes to study. Anya questions him right back after saying she hates it, to which he replies that he studied hard so that he could take care of Yor. Yuri explains to Anya that “knowledge is power,” and she can be or do anything she wants if she studies. Anya gets confused when Yuri tells her it is “the whole enchilada,” mishearing it as “a swole Chihuahua.” Despite that, she gets very excited about the concept of studying, and the two intensely continue their work. After an exhausting study session, Yuri questions whether Anya has mastered grammar yet, to which Anya asks what grammar even is.

Realizing he had wasted his time, Yuri angrily storms out of the house but returns for a brief moment to eat all the cookies Yor had just baked. Anya contemplates the idea that if she had been smarter, she could have been able to disarm the bomb herself during the terrorist incident. Anya decides to study hard by herself. Loid returns home later to learn that she had been studying a beginner foreign language workbook, a subject that is not part of the midterm exams. Two weeks later, the students at Eden Academy sit in the exam hall and prepare to take their exams. Anya gives Becky a statement of confidence and says she is ready to blow her away with her "swole Chihuahua" before Henry starts their exams.

After the midterm scores are posted in the quad, the students gather to find their score placement. Anya already knows she did not fail despite not doing very well on the tests. Becky finds Anya placed at 213th out of 228 students, and Damian attempts to console her before leaving. Despite Anya being proud of her achievement, Loid decides to be stricter with her studies. In his thoughts, Loid says Anya's efforts barely kept Operation Strix alive. After hearing this, Anya gives him a smug smirk, and in response, Loid tells her to think about her grades and they will see if she will be smirking after their studying session, to her shock.

With midterms over, the students of Eden Academy are cleaning the school grounds, and Becky comments to Anya about how things have calmed down. Anya says that Loid is probably more relaxed since she dodged getting a Tonitrus Bolt which makes Becky ask whether he gets strict or angry. Anya tells her he is a monster, which Becky sympathizes with having parents with high expectations but also finds the idea of a monster Loid attractive.

Their conversation is interrupted by Damian, who performs a move he calls "Desmond Style Rolling Sweep," flinging a bunch of dirt into Anya and Becky's faces and causing them to cough. Emile and Ewen both compliment Damian on his cleaning skills. A bunch of other students also surround him and shower him with compliments and ask about having a study group with him before the next exam. Becky annoyedly looks at Damian and complains about how obnoxious he is, but Anya says she wants to go to Damian's study group. Becky pauses for a moment and then comments that she forgot Anya had a thing for Damian, making Anya wonder what this "thing" is.

Suddenly, Anya overhears the thoughts of a boy saying: “I will never forgive you!” Anya asks Becky who the boy is and learns he is George Glooman, from their class. George questions how Damian was able to get a Stella Star despite having had his butler hire a spy to change Damian's test scores to make him fail. Anya is shocked to learn that the person who hired Daybreak was one of her classmates. Becky asks Anya if she likes Damian, but Anya ignores her and says she wants to know more about George. Becky is shocked, believing that Anya will just fall for any guy and tells her that she should stay away from George because of how gloomy he is. Anya watches as George tries to get Damian expelled by framing him for smoking and punching him.

When the teacher demands an explanation from Damian, Anya comes to Damian's defense and tells the teacher what happened. Intimidated by Anya and her reputation, the teacher leaves and tells the students not to call him over for nonsense again. Damian is stunned, and Anya tells him that his expulsion would only hurt her too, while her true motive is to keep Plan B going. Becky squeals, believing this was some romantic moment between Anya and Damian. Damian and George both question Anya on why they helped Damian. Damian then turns and asks George why he is trying to get him in trouble. George explains that his family company went bankrupt and claims that the Desmond Group, Damian’s family business, drove it out of business. George then says that with the family business gone, his family will be out on the streets and his life at Eden Academy will be over.

Pitying George’s situation, the students of Cecile Hall indulge in his final wishes before he leaves Eden, and even Anya assures him that he will be alright if he ends up going to Westalis. Seeing this, George is happy about all his classmates being so nice to him. George bursts into tears and asks for one last request: to sing the school chorus with everyone. Becky is the first to start singing, to Anya’s surprise, and eventually, everyone from Cecile Hall except Anya sings the chorus together. Afterwards, the students give George one of their belongings as parting gifts to remember them, while Anya gives him a leaf she found on the road. The students wish George a grand farewell and tell him that he will always be a part of Cecile Hall.

Returning home, Anya recounts what happened with George to Loid and Yor. While Yor is touched, Loid wonders aloud how Glooman Pharmaceuticals being bought out is the same as going bankrupt. The next day, an embarrassed George returns to school, and as his classmates remind him of his debt to them, Anya simply pats him on the shoulder.

Campbelldon Tennis Arc
For their upcoming social studies project, Henry instructs the students to investigate an occupation that interests them. He suggests various methods and adds that they will each prepare a report about their chosen profession and present it to the class on Friday. Anya returns home to choose Yor for her "job investigation" and explains how it works to her. As Yor is briefly confused about what to do and which job she should talk about, she imagines bringing Anya to her secret job as an assassin, with Anya dressed in a similar assassin outfit as Yor's. In this scenario, Yor helps Anya with her assignment by explaining and thoroughly demonstrating her work conduct and killing methods to Anya. After Yor kills her imaginary target, a blank-faced Anya is splashed in blood. Yor asks if she is alright, then says they will tell Loid that they were at a tomato festival. Back in reality, the two agree that Anya should make her report on Loid's job. When Loid returns, Anya asks him to bring her to his work for her project, and he agrees.

Two days later, Loid brings Anya to the Berlint General Hospital, where he works as a psychiatrist. Anya dresses up as a detective, stating that is how investigators dress. While showing Anya around the hospital, Loid answers her interview questions, but she listens to and records his thoughts relating to his work as a spy instead. They then run into the staff, who start doting on Anya and give her candy, much to her pleasure. When she asks what Loid is like at work, they say he is a polite and humble man that is very popular around the hospital, so much so that he was invited to play golf with the hospital's director. Loid tries to emphasize the importance of building relationships to Anya, but she gets distracted while eating the candy given by the staff, and they continue to indulge her, causing an irritated Loid to finish the interview.

As the staff leave, Anya tells Loid she wants to see him work, but he says he cannot. Loid instead shows Anya one of the empty consultation rooms, where she begins to fiddle with the bookshelf in boredom. Loid quickly stops Anya, revealing an emergency escape route for when he goes on missions in the bookshelf through his thoughts. After a WISE colleague knocks on the door, Loid tells Anya that something urgent has come up and asks Anya if she wants Loid to have Yor pick her up. Anya says she will wait for him, so he provides her with a sand table to play with while she waits. Loid warns her not to touch anything else and leaves. Anya quickly gets a scheming look after he leaves.

Anya pulls a lever hidden in the bookshelf, revealing a ladder leading below the room. An excited Anya investigates the escape route, squeezing past a tight passage before she hears a voice from a vent. Down below, several men are having a meeting about the neuroscience behind paranormal perception. Anya is excited about ghosts and lies down to listen, accidentally hitting a metal pipe. The men are confused about the sudden noise but nervously dismiss it. Anya remembers she needs to return before Loid does. However, she realizes her leg is stuck under a pipe and struggles to get free. Her sounds are mistaken for a ghost and the men are spooked. She eventually escapes, then hurries back.

Anya returns in time when she hears Loid's thoughts as he returns. She quickly makes something on the sand table before he comes in. Loid analyzes her sand table to observe her subconscious mind but is shocked by her sand table being utter chaos. Loid starts believing Anya is subconsciously stressed by her recent adoption, blaming himself for failing as a parent and a spy and decides she needs immediate care. Anya tries explaining that she mixed it all up but flushes in embarrassment at Loid's thoughts. Loid suggests they buy the new Spy Wars on their way home and offers to work on the report together. He picks up her notebook to read, causing Anya to panic as notes of his spy work is written there. However, Anya's writing is unreadable to Loid, so Anya says she will work on the report herself. When they return home, Yor asks if Anya managed to see Loid perform his concussive therapy, describing the way he punches and kicks and leg sweeps his patients. Loid tries to explain to Yor that it is only for extreme circumstances.

On Friday, Anya reads out her report to the class. While initially presenting Loid's job as a psychiatrist, Anya starts mentioning how Loid is determined to make connections, plays golf at his job and uses a secret escape route. Anya adds that he sometimes punches and kicks his patients, shocking Henry. When Loid is summoned to the school, he manages to talk his way out with his equivocation skills.

Loid and Anya take Bond for a walk but return early when it looks like it is about to rain. Anya bursts into the home and announces her arrival, then sees Fiona Frost, Loid’s co-worker, inside talking with Yor. Fiona dropped by to return Anya’s magnifying glass, left behind at the hospital. Loid and Fiona start communicating secretly, and after reading their minds, Anya is shocked to learn that Fiona is also a spy. When the agents start arguing, Anya wonders if she is a bad guy. However, Anya reads her mind and is stunned to learn that Fiona is deeply in love with Loid. After everyone sits together for some hot beverages, Yor serves Anya hot cocoa. Anya is amused while reading Fiona's thoughts, but accidentally spills her cup on the table. Fiona sees how clumsy Anya is and imagines herself training Anya and transforming her into a skilled child and a Stella Star procurement machine. Reading her mind, Anya decides she cannot let Fiona become her mother.

Anya begins clinging to Yor and calls her the best mother in the whole world for wiping up her cocoa. Fiona tries to appeal to Anya by offering imported cocoa, but Anya hisses at her angrily, shocking everyone. Loid then tells her to play with Bond, and she does, Anya talks about how happy and lucky she is to have her family. Moved by Anya's words, Yor tells Loid that she will try harder for the family. Loid smiles and tells Yor that she works hard enough as Anya cares a lot about Yor, and the family gather together with smiles on their faces. Anya then watches as Fiona gets up and abruptly leaves the house.

One night, Bond and Anya watch a cartoon and are shocked when the penguin character dies. Before she sleeps, Anya requests to sleep with her Penguinman plush for the night. In the morning, Anya is horrified to find that Penguinman has been "killed." When Loid points out the claw and bite marks on Penguinman, Anya reads Bond's mind and finds that Bond attacked Penguinman out of jealousy. Anya declares that she hates Bond, which shocks and saddens the dog. After Yor fails to fix Penguinman, Loid tells Anya he can buy her a new one, but Anya cries that she loves it because it is a gift from him. Loid is touched and decides to sew it up.

While Loid fixes Penguinman, Anya does her homework while still sobbing. When he returns the repaired penguin to Anya, he tells her the stitches are badges of honor and proof of Penguinman's fight for peace, which impresses Anya. Bond approaches Anya with a bag of peanuts, asking for forgiveness. With advice from Loid, Anya is able to forgive Bond for hurting Penguinman and she apologizes for what she said, and the two happily reconcile.

Loid decides to practice for an upcoming tennis competition he will be attending with work associates, and Anya and Yor join him in the practice after Anya demands to play as well. Anya plays tennis at the park with Bond and Yor. Anya calls out to Yor as the tennis ball bounces towards her from where she and Bond Forger are standing. Yor, lost in thought, takes a second to react before grabbing the ball. Anya questions whether she was daydreaming or not which Yor denies. Anya then reads Yor’s thoughts about Loid and Fiona’s relationship and what it means to her. Anya is shocked when Yor considers getting rid of Fiona, but assures her mother that she has nothing to worry about. Yor questions what Anya meant by that and wonders if she knew what she was thinking. Realizing her mistake, Anya covers it up by telling her not to worry because Loid will win and bring home the trophy. Yor smiles and agrees that Loid can accomplish anything and will give any opponent a beatdown.

After Loid's competition, Yor, Anya and Bond are still at the park playing tennis. Anya and Yor are surprised when Fiona and Loid appear, and Loid explains that she gave him a ride back. Fiona asks Yor if she plays tennis, and Yor explains that she and Anya practiced with Loid the other day, and Anya proudly states that she hit many home runs. Suddenly, Fiona challenges Yor to a game. Anya reads Fiona’s mind and sees her plan to have Yor relinquish her role as the mother. She then reads Yor’s mind and sees her belief that if she declines or loses, Loid will report her to the SSS for being a weak tennis player and replace her with Fiona. As Yor accepts Fiona’s challenge, Anya sees the tension between the women and recalls Becky telling her about a love rivalry from her favorite show. Relating this to the current situation, Anya says she now understands what Becky what talking about, saying that she likes action battles too.

As the game starts, Loid and Anya watch as Yor's serve breaks through Fiona's racket, completely and utterly beating her. Fiona declares Yor the victor for now but will one day challenge her to a revenge match before driving off, while Anya thinks about how energetic Fiona is. After Yor declares her victory to Loid, Anya says she’s hungry, and an exhausted Loid replies he will get something delivered. Sometime after, while Loid attends his briefing, Anya is with Yor at home while she plays with Bond.

When Loid decides to take Yor on a night out to clear up a misunderstanding, he has Franky come over to watch Anya and Bond. Anya and Bond happily play with Franky, and after he receives a payment from Loid, he takes them to the park. Later in the evening, Anya waits for Loid and Yor to return and notes how late they are, suggesting they are “shacking up together.” Franky asks where she learned that phrase, and she says it was mostly from Becky. Franky then asks if Anya likes her parents, to which she replies that she loves them. Soon after, Loid and Yor return home, and Anya begins to ask if they were smooching but stops when seeing Loid with a swelled-up chin. Anya teases his appearance, calling him a chin monster while Franky lifts her so she can try touching it. She later helps a tipsy Yor when she brings everyone tea.

Imperial Scholars Mixer Arc
Anya watches Damian and his friends from a corner and recaps her goal to become an Imperial Scholar and help Loid with his mission. However, Anya has given up on earning eight Stella Stars, discouraged by her lack of progress in academics and sports. Anya resolves to Plan B: befriending Damian, which is not going any better. While Anya thinks, the boys notice her staring; Damian tells her to stop, while Emile tells her to go away.

Anya expresses her frustration, and Becky appears and agrees, albeit for a different reason. Becky says she knows how Anya feels as love is hard to communicate. Her statement prompts Anya to think about what she loves: Loid, Yor, Bond, peanuts, and cartoons. When Anya applies this to Damian, she bluntly denies it, and Becky assumes she is being bashful. Becky decides to help make Damian fall for Anya. She says boys are easily fooled by outward appearances, so if Anya dresses up all cute, Damian is sure to fall for her. Thus, Becky and Anya go on a shopping trip on the weekend.

The girls are driven by Martha, Becky's butler, to the shopping center, where Anya is excited to be riding around in their fancy car. Becky complains about not seeing Loid when she picked up Anya and how tough of a rival Yor will be after seeing how pretty she is. Becky also compliments Anya’s bag (by working-class standards) and asks what is inside. Anya produces a large wad of cash, shocking Martha. Before leaving for work, Loid had gifted the spending money to Anya, who was shocked by the amount. Anya wonders how many peanuts she can buy with the money, but Becky reminds her that they are shopping for clothes.

At the shopping center, the staff treats Becky like royalty, and Anya is surprised by all this. She asks how much money Becky brought, and she replies that she has never brought money anywhere in her life. Becky tells Anya that the store usually brings stuff to her house, but she was so excited to go shopping with Anya that she reserved the whole store. With that, Becky helps Anya find a look that even Damian cannot resist.

Anya tries on various stylish outfits while Becky shares her thoughts. Afterward, Anya gets exhausted and remarks that fashion is hard. After Anya points out that Damian will not be able to see her new clothes since she wears her uniform at school every day, Becky says all the halls throw parties at the end of the term, where students will be allowed to wear street clothes with the teacher’s permission. Becky realizes that if the parties are open to parents, Loid will most likely be there. She shouts that she needs something too and tries on different outfits, wondering what Loid would like. Becky concludes that she does not even know anymore and decides to buy them all, much to Anya’s shock.

Becky asks what Anya has decided on, but she says she cannot look at clothes anymore, so Becky says they can check out the shoes. The girls check out all the accessories at the store while the boxes Martha carries continue to stack up. They stop at a café to rest and have sweets. Becky remarks that Anya did not get anything, and Anya says she does not even know what she wants, reiterating that fashion is hard. Becky looks quietly, then shyly asks if Anya had fun shopping. Anya smiles brightly and tells Becky that she had so much fun, as this is the first time she has gone shopping with a friend. Touched to be called a friend, Becky decides to find something Anya wants while Martha watches from the side with a smile.

The girls head to a stuffed animal shop, but a sheep keychain catches Anya’s attention. Anya asks what the sheep is, and Becky explains it is a department store’s mascot. Seeing how cute it is, Anya decides to buy one, while Becky remarks on how childish Anya is. Anya says it will be a memento of their shopping trip and proof that they survived. Becky seems hesitant about the idea, but before she can voice her opinion, Anya buys one for herself and for Becky. Martha urges her to accept the gesture of friendship, saying her father would say the same, so an embarrassed Becky then takes the keychain. She asks Anya why they went shopping in the first place, and Anya says she forgot. They brush it off and decide to head home, where they fall asleep on the drive back.

Returning home, Loid is stunned to see the keychain, which cost 300 dalc apiece, while Anya happily tells him that it is her and Becky's special thing. At the start of school, Becky and Anya greet each other and cheerily talk about their matching keychains. Passing by, Damian and his friends see the girls chatting. The sight of bright smiles on their faces catches Damian's eye. One of the boys asks Damian what is up with him, and he dismisses them in embarrassment.

On the day of the Imperial Scholars Mixer, Anya reads Damian's mind and learns of his plan to meet with his father. Seeing that her plan to win his heart with fashion failed, she decides to tail Damian and face 'the superboss' herself. The boys have already noticed Anya following them, so Damian yells at her to go away. Ewen and Emile tell Damian that Anya might be chasing him to curry favor with his father. Embarrassed and enraged, Damian calls Anya names before running away. Anya suggests punching him again, but Becky, who has been with her the entire time, reminds her that she will get expelled if she does. Suddenly, Anya hears Twilight’s thoughts, expressing his frustration at how Anya and Damian are not getting along and that Plan B is failing. Hearing her father’s plan to follow Damian, Anya runs off to do the same, saying they will "fight the superboss together."

When Damian decides to turn back after changing plans, he is stopped in his tracks by Anya, who cannot let him do that. Damian calls Anya a stalker, but she smugly taunts him, asking him if he is scared. Damian wonders if she is reading his mind, causing Anya to worry. Anya nervously reveals that Damian got 50 points on his reading test. When asked how she knew, Anya says she peeked over Damian’s shoulder, making Becky think Anya really is a stalker. Anya says Damian is scared his father will find out about his poor grade and tries empathizing with him, admitting to getting 17 points. Anya says she does not know if Loid likes her, so she is also scared to tell him. Despite that, Anya believes in her father because she loves him, so she will use all her courage to tell him that she failed.

Everyone stares at Anya in confusion, and she asks Becky what she was just talking about. Despite that, she manages to convince Damian to wait for his father after all. In the courtyard, Becky is surprised that Anya is waiting for the mixer to end, as she just wants to go home. She assumes Anya is eager to meet Damian’s parents because she wants their blessing to marry, misreading her seriousness. Becky decides to wait with Anya, hoping to see the "big moment" with her own eyes. Anya falls asleep shortly after and Becky realizes her mistake. She asks a nearby Martha to take Anya back to their car as they prepare to leave.

An asleep Anya is dropped off at the Forger home by Becky and Martha, to Yor's surprise. When Loid returns home from the Mixer, he finds Anya and Bond asleep on the couch. Anya mutters for Loid to wait so they can "fight the superboss together," and Loid has no idea what she is babbling about and thinks about how carefree she is.

Loid and Anya spend their night on the couch watching TV, and Anya asks Loid to change the channel so she can watch cartoons, bored of the news. Loid initially refuses but relents after seeing Anya get teary-eyed. As Anya happily watches Spy Wars, Yor arrives home with the groceries and a terrible look on her face. Reading her mind, Anya learns that Yor is in great pain after taking a gunshot to the butt. Anya is shocked and asks Yor if she will die, and Yor replies she will be fine before heading to bed. Anya is amazed by her mother's feat, but as she hears Loid wondering why Yor is upset, she thinks about how off the mark he is.

The next morning, Anya wakes up to see Loid inviting Yor out on a date and is excited to come. To her shock, Loid informs her that she cannot come, then has Franky come over to babysit her. Anya watches her parents start off their date terribly, and she expresses worry for them. Remembering a scene from Spy Wars, she proposes to Franky that they shadow Loid and Yor on their date. Franky happily agrees, and the two get into disguises to hide from Loid's watchful eye. Anya and Franky proceed to follow Loid and Yor throughout the date and see Loid continuously fail to cheer up Yor. Franky is gleefully amused by this, making Anya ask if he has a bad personality. Franky argues that he is allowed to make fun of Loid as someone who cannot get girls, which Anya calls pathetic. After Loid and Yor head into an expensive restaurant, Franky and Anya attempt to follow but get rejected due to their casual clothing and Anya's young age, which upsets her.

As she and Franky prepare to return home, Anya hears the thoughts of someone recognizing Yor as the "Thorn Princess." The thoughts are from a waiter inside the restaurant, a survivor of the Red Circus group Yor massacred the day before, who is now plotting to avenge his comrades by killing her. Although Anya knows Yor can likely take care of herself, she worries that Yor will expose her identity and cause Loid to break up the family. At her insistence, Franky and Anya decide to infiltrate the restaurant in spy getups. They enter the restaurant through the vents, and Anya is in a hurry to save her mother as she hears that the man has poisoned Yor's drink. Anya is too late to stop Yor from drinking the poison but is dumbfounded when she discovers that it has instead cured her of her pain.

Anya then hears the waiter hatching a new plan to kill Yor by creating a makeshift bomb with items from the storeroom, which Anya is above. Anya exits the vents and, listening to the bomb instructions the waiter thinks about, creates a non-lethal peanut bomb while setting up a few booby traps for the man on his way to the storeroom. After the waiter finds the bomb and gets caught in the explosion, Anya reveals herself while pointing a toy gun at him. She tells him to stay away from Yor and abandon his life of crime to make his girlfriend happy, which shocks him. Anya then returns to Franky, and they leave the restaurant to continue shadowing Loid and Yor, with Anya proud of herself for Yor acting back to normal. She then reveals herself from hiding after Yor and Loid talk about going to a carnival, wanting to ride the Ferris wheel.

While Bond sprawls on the couch, Anya asks if he could be any lazier. After Yor tells her to do her homework, Anya goes to her room to get it done. After Bond receives a vague vision and believes he will die soon, he goes to Anya's door to say goodbye. To Bond's shock, Anya says she is busy with homework and does not have time to play, shutting the door on him. Bond later concludes that he will die if he eats the dinner Yor will make for him and fears he will be killed if he refuses, in part to an exaggeration Anya made about Yor. This fear prompts the family pet to run away to find Loid so he can make his dinner instead. After Bond succeeds in his goal, he has a future vision of the family watching him as he enjoys dinner, with Anya present among them.

When Yuri visits the Forger home to see Yor after a complicated mission, Anya reads his mind and gives him a consoling pat. After Yor praises Yuri for working hard, his thoughts become full of his sister, overwhelming Anya.

At the school cafeteria, Anya and Becky play-pretend with their matching sheep dolls. Becky tries to play a romantic story with a prince, then a battle story with twins separated at birth, but Anya does not understand and refuses to play along. Becky tells Anya news about how the students will be divided into new classes by performance at the end of the term. After hearing Becky's explanation, Anya is horrified that she might be all alone, so Becky encourages her to work harder. Becky adds that the grouping is rumored to be based on not just midterms and finals, but tomorrow's quizzes too.

The girls overhear two older students gossiping about the Pastries of Knowledge, made by a formal royal chef and can guarantee a spot as an Imperial Scholar. Hearing this, the girls rush to the dining hall where the pastries are. Anya thinks she could be a genius if she eats one, while Becky is excited to try macarons from a former royal chef. They soon see a queue of students for the pastries, but Damian and his friends run up next to them with the same goal. The server announces that there is only one order left of the special Pierre Pommier Macaron set. The two groups try to be first to get the last set but are stunned when George has already ordered the macarons.

Damian and Becky rush up to George and demand he gives the macarons to them. When George says they are his as he bought them with his allowance, the kids remind him what he owes them. George concedes to give up four macarons out of the set of five macarons. They realize they have five people and decide to have a round of Old Maid to determine who gets the macarons.

Anya is unaware of the rules as she has never played cards before, so Becky quickly explains the rules. Damian and Emile scheme to stick Anya with the joker, but Anya easily figures out which of their cards is the joker with her mind-reading abilities and flawlessly wins the game. Damian and his friends are in disbelief and accuse her of cheating. Damian thinks the only other explanation is that she can read minds if she is not cheating, shocking Anya. Anya panics and suggests they play another round, where she decides to make mistakes on purpose. On Anya's turn, she purposefully takes the joker from Ewen's deck. Damian and his friends laugh at Anya, tempting her to hit them, but Becky calms her down.

Damian's turn to take a card from Anya has arrived, and her facial expressions are very easy to read. Damian easily picks out another card from her deck. Everyone else gets rid of the cards, leaving only Anya and Damian. Anya panics at the thought of not getting a macaron, thus failing her tests and being in a different class from Becky. As Damian is about to take a card, Anya begins to cry.

George gives everyone their share of the macaron, except Damian, after purposefully taking the joker at the sight of her crying face. Anya offers to share half of her macaron with Damian. Damian blushes and rudely rejects her in embarrassment, walking away. The four students eat their macarons. Anya becomes fired up after eating the pastry and studies excitedly until the quizzes the next day. When their results come back, Henry Henderson shows that Anya's quiz results are just as bad as before, and the other students stare at Anya in disbelief. Becky tries to cheer up the depressed Anya so that she will make it up on her finals.

At home, Loid and Yor look at Anya's quiz papers while she goes to her room to sulk. Seeing her marks for the Classical Language test, Loid wonders if she is well-acquainted with it due to her upbringing but decides to brush those thoughts aside. He tells Anya that he made her favorite hamburg steak for dinner, and Anya is cheered up.

Cruise Adventure Arc
At Central Mall, the department store is hosting the biannual mega raffle, with the grand prize being a pair of tickets for a voyage on a cruise ship. Having completed their shopping, Anya notices the raffle and asks Loid for the raffle ticket they have earned to try her luck. As Anya queues for the raffle, she discovers through her telepathy that the man in charge of the event has rigged it after sticking the winning ticket to the top of the raffle box. With this information in mind, Anya pulls out the winning ticket.

Back home, Anya happily parades the tickets she won as Yor arrives home. Loid suggests Yor go with Anya because he has work, but Yor reveals she is already going on the same boat as part of her work trip after glancing at the tickets. After hearing that Yor would be troubled if they came along on the boat, Anya's conscience tells her to give up on the trip to avoid causing Yor trouble. However, she also makes the excuse that she could help Yor with her work if she went. Wanting to go to the ocean and ride the boat, Anya throws a tantrum. Reluctant, Loid agrees to ask if he can get time off his work, which Sylvia grants him.

The big day arrives, and as the Forgers make their way to the port, Anya is very excited. Upon seeing the ship at the port, Anya is amazed by its size and shouts excitedly, and Loid tells her to calm down. Before Loid and Anya part ways with Yor, Anya wishes her mother good luck.

Aboard Princess Lorelei, Anya excitedly observes the various facilities on the ship, including a pool, a circus, and the game room. Anya is eager to explore the ship on an adventure but is disappointed upon seeing that their third-class suite is small and cramped, assuming that it's one of the ship's jail cells. However, she quickly recovers and is excited to sleep on a bunk bed for the first time.

In the ship's atrium, Anya tells Loid they must explore the ship before it sinks, embarrassing her father. When she sees Loid still in his spy mode, Anya notes that he is not having fun. This causes Loid to remember Handler telling him to treat the trip like any other mission. Loid decides to refocus his efforts on attaining optimal recreation and tells Anya they should watch a show, while she thinks about how serious her father is.

In the evening, Loid and Anya have dinner at a buffet, where Anya feverishly eats an array of food, hungry from playing all day. She then pauses and notes how strange it is to have dinner without Yor. Loid agrees and gets flustered when Anya calls him sappy. Heading to their room, they pass through the ship’s shopping promenade, where Anya sees a keychain and wants it, but Loid refuses. However, when he assumes their conversation is most likely being heard by SSS agents, Loid stresses over buying the keychain, overthinking the risks of his choices. Seeing her father in this predicament, Anya starts to feel a little guilty.

Suddenly, she overhears the thoughts of hitman Sickle-and-Chain Barnaby, who plans on taking a bounty for himself. As Barnaby walks through the promenade, he sees Yor and her group and decides to kill her first. Anya realizes Yor and the hitman are going to fight. Although she knows Yor can likely take care of herself, Anya fears that Yor will expose her identity and cause Loid to divorce Yor (and abandon Anya). As Anya wonders what to do, Loid has decided to buy her the keychain but is shocked after Anya asks who cares and shouts at him to stay back.

Anya watches apprehensively as Yor and Barnaby are about to cross paths. She knows Loid will see the battle if he steps outside the shop and will have even more reason to do so if he hears someone scream. Anya makes a wincing face, worried about the situation. This expression confuses Loid, who wonders if Anya was hurt when he first refused to buy the keychain and misreads his daughter's mental state, flattering her as she reads his thoughts.

When the shop employee offers Loid souvenir apparel, Anya speaks up, saying that trips are supposed to be fun. She claims to be dragged down by Loid for not having fun, so he must be dressed like it if he wants her to have fun. Persuaded by her words, Loid decides to transform himself inside and out to become the quintessential fun and upbeat father. Loid asks for every article of clothing the shop has and heads into the fitting room to change. Anya gets ready to help Yor, but realizes that Loid, a master of disguise, has already finished getting dressed. Anya then hears Loid thinking about reworking the outfit and leaves, knowing he will be busy.

Anya runs to Yor, who has just started her fight with Barnaby. As a confused crowd gathers around the assassins, Anya cheers Yor on. While Yor is horrified to have her daughter see her like this, Anya pretends not to notice and calls Yor a circus lady, which convinces the onlookers that they are watching a street performance. After Yor quickly incapacitates Barnaby, Anya remarks on how scary her mother is.

Anya hears Loid finally finished with his outfit and hurries back to the shop. While asked where she went, Anya revels in the fact that she helped Yor without Loid suspecting a thing and is thrilled by the experience. Loid emerges from the fitting room, dressed in an outlandish combination of clothes and accessories, and believes he has achieved his goal. To his shock, Anya is unimpressed and calls him uncool. The two head back to their room, and a drowsy Anya heads in the opposite direction while muttering Yor's name, eventually walking into a wall and falling asleep, forcing Loid to carry her.

On the second day of the trip, Loid and Anya walk around the ship, Anya singing a little tune. She decides that to help Yor, she will need to ditch Loid, who she believes will freak out if he hears about Yor's secret job. Anya sees a golf-putting center and decides to hatch her plan there. To her shock, Loid gets a hole-in-one on every hole. Loid asks Anya if she wants to try, and she does just that. However, Anya struggles to get the ball into the hole and is adamant about accomplishing it, refusing to have lunch until she gets it.

After spending half of their day putting, Anya believes she fell into Loid's trap and plans more ways to ditch him. She starts with a library, where Loid has already read all the books in the room, while Anya gets distracted reading comics. She then attempts to use a big jigsaw puzzle, which Loid quickly assembles in his mind, shocking the girl as she reads his thoughts. This continues as Anya tries distracting Loid with more activities, but gets herself absorbed in all of them.

At dinnertime, Anya grimaces as she eats, in disbelief over forgetting Yor and instead enjoying herself. Meanwhile, Loid wonders why Anya looks upset after having fun all day and starts overthinking the problem. Anya realizes she is worrying Loid and says she is enjoying herself but wishes Yor could be with them. Loid agrees and tells Anya that he can ask if Yor has time to meet tomorrow by sending a message through the concierge. He then says there will be fireworks after dinner and asks Anya if she wants to see them, adding that they might find Yor there. Hearing this, an excited Anya agrees to go. They head out to the deck to watch the fireworks. Anya sees a child getting a piggyback ride and tells Loid that she cannot see the sky, prompting him to give her a piggyback as well. Anya looks around the crowd, then tries to listen to everyone's thoughts to find Yor, but cannot due to everyone's excitement.

The fireworks show starts, and Anya is in awe of the spectacle. After the show finishes, Anya tells Loid how exciting it was. While he is happy for her, he apologizes for not being able to find Yor in the crowd, making Anya remember her goal to help Yor. Suddenly, Loid overhears that there is a bomb in the ship, which Anya also learns. Wanting to help Loid focus on saving the boat, Anya says she wants to do more stuff and shows her father a drop-in daycare. After Loid drops off Anya, Anya leaves to find Yor.

Anya runs around the ship looking for Yor. She then hears the thoughts of an informant, who plans to make his exit, and mentions where Yor is. Anya hears his thoughts coming from the front of the boat and rushes to Yor's location. There, Anya finds Yor's weapon, which she had dropped earlier. While Anya tries removing it from the floorboards, she hears the thoughts of Yor, who is fighting on the deck above her. Anya realizes Yor needs help and throws her weapon to the roof deck. Although it does not go far up, Anya manages to incapacitate two hitmen after one of them trips on the weapon, causing a chain reaction that knocks out both men. Yor hears the commotion and is able to retrieve her weapon, which she uses to win the battle against the Swordsman. Hearing that Yor won, Anya celebrates her mother's victory.

Yor wonders how she found her weapon the way she did and if someone was behind it. Anya hears her thoughts and retreats, not wanting to be spotted. Running back to the daycare, Anya encounters the Assassins' Leader, who catches the scent of explosives inside a clock in the lobby. Anya thinks about telling this to Loid, but does not know where he is and wants to avoid revealing her secret. Instead, she tells a nearby shipmate that she saw a strange man wiping a booger on the clock. While initially skeptical, the man decides to have it checked out.

Anya then watches from afar as Loid disposes of the clock bomb and credits herself for the success. Suddenly, the daycare worker appears behind Anya, upset at her for running off. Anya says she had to use the bathroom, and as she gets dragged back to the daycare, she says that it might not have been the last bomb, which the lady interprets as Anya needing to go the bathroom again. At the daycare, Anya waits for Loid to come to pick her up, eventually falling asleep after all the excitement.

The Princess Lorelei arrives at the resort island. After jumping rashly out of excitement, Loid warns Anya to be cautious. Loid becomes unnerved when he sees SSS agents nearby, and Anya convinces him that a normal father would jump in excitement as well, which Loid does. The pair are reunited with Yor, who received their message the day before and was able to take the whole day off. With her work done, the Forgers spend the rest of the day touring the island to enjoy the resort accommodations and activities: walking around town, zip-lining, riding a tandem bike, cave-exploring, riding horses and a swing, and sightseeing. At a petting zoo, Anya approaches a flock of sheep and plays with them, comparing their fluffiness to Bond's.

Anya then points at a scuba-diving poster, insisting that she wants to dive into the ocean and look at the fish next. Yor internally worries about wearing a bikini at the risk of exposing her new chest wound, which makes Anya change her mind, saying she does not want to be eaten by a shark. To her luck, Yor finds a rental poster for swimwear and decides to wear a rashguard bathing suit instead. She agrees to scuba-dive with Anya and assures her that there will not be any sharks present in the water. The Forgers scuba-dive, then surf soon afterward. Clutching a surfboard, Anya readies herself to be pushed into a wave by Yor but gets propelled with force as Yor forgets to hold back her strength. She is taken by the wave and launched into the air, but Loid quickly comes to her rescue. Once the wave has passed, Anya asks Loid to go again but gets strictly rejected. Meanwhile, Yor panics and apologizes for the mishap.

Back in the town, Anya is delighted that they had fun the entire day. Suddenly, Yor is hit with exhaustion from the night before, and she collapses into Loid, sending her into a deep sleep. Anya becomes tired as well, and she falls asleep. With the two girls knocked out in his arms, Loid is embarrassed at having to carry them back to the boat.

After the cruise, the Forgers come back home and are welcomed by Bond and Franky. Afterward, they commune in the living room over coffee. While Loid goes out for a briefing, Yor and Anya sleep soundly in the living room, where Anya has made a drawing of their great cruise adventure.

As the students return to Eden Academy after their midterm break, Anya confidently walks to her class with a smile. She enters and is greeted by Becky, who notices that she has become a little tan and asks her friend where she went during her break. Anya tells Becky about going to the "Grandest Luxury Liner in all of Ostania." Becky and Damian are surprised by this, the latter saying that the Forgers are worthy of coming over to his house; at least, that is what Anya imagines will happen.

In reality, Becky brushes it off as nothing special, surprising Anya. Anya says her trip was special and struggles to say the ship's name. Becky recognizes it as Princess Lorelei and says she went on it before the start of school, mentioning how she stayed in the Imperial Suite. Anya is shocked and says she stayed in a third-class prison cell. Emile laughs at her while Ewen remarks how Anya is not embarrassed to admit to staying in a lower-class suite. Anya hears their insults and reddens up in embarrassment and irritation.

The boys brag about their fancy escapades during their break, and Becky talks about how she had her father let her meet the famous starlet Rachel at a party. The other students gather around Becky, praising her and her family, and ask about her meeting with Rachel. Wanting a share of the attention, Anya gets up and exaggerates about the villains on the boat. The students ask about the villains, thinking they are from a show. Anya claims the villains were from foreign lands, making the students believe they are international movie stars and ask who was there. Anya decides to tell them about Sickle-and-Chain Barnaby, who she calls “Sickly Chain Bartebly.”

The students have no idea what Anya is talking about and only ask more questions. Anya stammers around, talking about the abilities of the enemies. The students laugh at Anya, saying she got attacked by pirates. One of them points out how it would have been on the news, and Anya remembers how the incident on the cruise was covered up. She tells her classmates that the enemies were secret villains from beneath the sea: the Octopeople. Anya tries to continue her story of slaying the Octopeople, but the students ignore her to ask Becky about Rachel. Watching from the side, Damian and his friends are impressed by how much Anya is making herself look like a fool. Their teacher walks in and tells the students to take their seats. He asks if the students made the most of their midterm break, and a student mentions Anya's story. The rest of the class bursts into laughter while Anya's face flushes in embarrassment.

At the end of the day, Becky comforts a gloomy Anya, saying she can understand the desire to make oneself look better. She says there is nothing wrong with it if it helps Anya to become the person she wants to be. While Anya is happy to hear this, George interjects, warning her not to lie too much lest she becomes an outcast like him.

When Anya returns home, Yor notices her glum demeanor and asks if something is wrong. After everyone sits in the living room, Anya tells the adults how her classmates mocked her for falsely boasting about her trip. Loid asks why she felt the need to lie in the first place, and she tells him that she wanted attention. Loid, Yuri, and Yor tell her that lying is wrong and to be more honest, but their thoughts say otherwise. The room falls silent, and Anya says she will try to stop lying, as being a liar seems pretty rough.

WISE Arc
Inspired by a seduction scene from Berlint in Love, Becky calls up Anya's home and pretends that she happens to be dropping by their house while in the neighborhood. Soon after, Becky is at their door, confusing Anya with her quick arrival. Becky's thoughts reveal her intent to confess her love to Loid, though Martha disapproves. Anya calls over Loid, announcing Becky's visit. Loid welcomes Becky to their home with a bright smile and thanks her for being a good friend to Anya, causing Becky to fall backward with a lovestruck expression and reminding Anya of Fiona.

Anya takes Becky on a quick tour of the house, but the gap between their financial status is evident when Becky assumes their living room is a storage vestibule and is amazed at Anya's room being smaller than her dog's doghouse, leading Anya to stop to their tour. After finding out Yor is out walking Bond, Becky begins fantasizing about her and Loid in a similar situation from her drama, with her marrying Loid. Anya is shocked but gets persuaded after reading Becky's mind about the benefits of being her mother. Deciding to choose world-class chefs over Yor, Anya decides to help Becky with her plan, asking Loid to play with them and cheering on her friend. Loid chats with Becky, trying to gain more intel on the activities of her father, while she gets flustered as she wonders if Loid is interested in her. Meanwhile, Anya takes enjoyment in this while reading their minds.

Yor arrives home with Bond and greets Becky. Anya tries to introduce Bond to Becky, but she is too preoccupied with planning on defeating Yor to notice. Becky tries using seduction techniques she learned from her television dramas, letting her hair down and flipping it, and Anya mimics her movements. Yor seats Becky beside Loid and serves everyone tea. Becky leans on Loid's arm, pretending to be tipsy after drinking the tea. Distraught at the notion of somehow pouring alcohol into Becky's tea, Yor rushes her to the hospital, despite Loid telling her to stop. Loid and Anya soon catch up with them at a park. Anya then watches Yor single-handedly wreck a strongman game with her strength, rendering everyone else speechless. Loid and Anya watch Becky asking to be under Yor's tutelage, then going home to train. Martha arrives and is confused at the sight of Yor training Becky, while Anya thinks Yor is more fun.

In Cecile Hall's classroom, Henry berates the students for the recent increase in tardiness and late homework assignments, eyeing Anya in particular. As Anya and Becky leave the classroom, they are interrupted by Damian, who mocks Anya's tardiness and bets she will be the first to be expelled for getting eight bolts. Becky defends Anya and begins to bicker with Emile and Ewen, with the pair eventually yelling loudly that the three of them will run through the school in their underpants if Damian gets a Tonitrus Bolt.

Before Damian can rebuke them, Bill Watkins runs towards them, warning them to run away before it is too late. Bill warns the students of Donna Schlag of the Disciplinary Committee. He explains her prior absence and a fearsome reputation for handing out Tonitrus Bolts for any infraction, rumored to have single-handedly expelled over a hundred students. He tells them to run away as his classroom has already fallen victim to 'Old Lady Tonitrus' and faints. Before the students can escape, Donna is already in front of them and introduces herself, instructing them to line up and prepare for a bag inspection. In the classroom, Donna checks their bags, giving out Tonitrus Bolts for snacks and playing cards she finds in the students' bags. To Anya's horror, she realizes Donna is gleefully having fun with punishing the students. Damian is relaxed since he and his friends did not bring anything prohibited. However, Donna punishes a student with a Tonitrus for not bringing a handkerchief.

She recounts the tale of an honors student who wiped his hands on his pants after forgetting to bring his handkerchief, earning him the nickname of "Mr. Pee Pants" and eventually getting expelled as a troublemaker. The students quickly check for their handkerchiefs, including Damian, who is dismayed to find that he did not bring his handkerchief. Anya initially takes joy in Damian's distress but panics when he thinks he will not be able to face his father if he gets a Tonitrus Bolt.

Anya quickly offers her handkerchief to Damian, reassuring him that she always brings two. Damian safely avoids getting a Tonitrus, but Anya is not as fortunate, realizing she did not bring a second handkerchief, so Donna gives her a Tonitrus. Seeing Anya cry, Damian feels conflicted and tries to admit the truth. However, Anya sees that Donna intends to give them two bolts each if she finds out they tricked her and quickly stops him. After the bag inspection, Damian tries to express his gratitude in a roundabout manner. Anya does not fully understand but is happy that she has gotten closer to Damian despite her new Tonitrus. Anya returns home to tell Loid that they have gotten closer. While he is elated to hear this, he quickly notices the Tonitrus on Anya's chest and faints.

Loid is placed on the sofa to rest until he jolts up in a cold sweat, and both Yor and Anya are relieved to see him awake. Anya asks if he had a dream and tries to read his thoughts, but Loid's mind is cloudy as he says he does not remember. Anya pats her father's head, assuring him that there is nothing to be afraid of, which embarrasses him. Loid wonders why he was asleep on the sofa, and Anya reminds him that he fainted after she got a Tonitrus Bolt. Loid thinks about how this damages Operation Strix, and Anya apologizes for messing up. Loid then asks Anya if it brought her closer to Damian, which she confirms. Loid says it is a good thing, telling her that friends are important and to cherish them. After Bond's stomach growls, Loid decides to prepare dinner, and upon Anya's request, he makes hot onion soup. Afterward, the Forgers sit in the living room to enjoy their meal.

Friendship Schemes Arc
At the end of the school day, Martha and Becky say goodbye to Anya as they leave. While Anya waits for the school bus, someone announces that the bus driver got sick and that the next service will be late. With nothing to do, Anya decides to stay and wait at the bus stop. Passing by, Henry sees her alone and asks her to help him carry some stuff. Anya is hesitant but agrees when he offers her some tea cakes. As they walk back to the school, Henderson asks Anya if she is having fun at school. Anya says it is okay but quickly asks if she will get a Tonitrus for not having fun. Henderson assures her that she will not and can rely on him if she has any problems.

Anya casually says she is fine, which shocks Henderson since he knows Anya has received two Tonitrus Bolts and is not bothered by it. Reading his mind, Anya is also shocked since she completely forgot about that. Worried about not getting her sweets, Anya says she is a little worried about the Tonitruses, calming Henderson. Anya tells him she now carries many handkerchiefs since her last Tonitrus was for not having one.

Henderson tries to explain the importance of preparedness and personal grooming, citing them as building blocks for elegance and how Donna's harshness is her way of keeping students in line. Anya does not understand him, which Henderson attributes to her youth. Anya tries to impress him by saying she understands while spitting out a nonsensical response, shocking Henderson even more as he realizes Anya completely misunderstood him. Henderson instructs Anya to remain disciplined at all times, and Anya asks if she will get a Stella for this. Henderson understands that Anya wants to be an Imperial Scholar and asks for her reason. Anya thinks of Loid's mission but ends up saying that the Stellas look cool. Henderson believes Anya is superficial and reminds her that she said she wanted to be like the headmaster in their interview. Anya does not remember she said that and wants the Stars as soon as possible.

Henderson angrily tells Anya not to disrespect the Imperial Scholars and Stella since all those students worked hard to achieve the title. He takes her to a hall displaying alumni from Eden Academy who were all Imperial Scholars. Anya realizes she must work hard one day at a time, just like with Loid's mission. She asks Henderson if she can become an Imperial Scholar, to which he says he cannot answer as every student must decide for themselves, and there is no need to rush.

They arrive at Henry's office, and as promised, he gives Anya some sweets. They talk about the cakes, and Anya says she likes that they are sweet, and Henry is shocked by her shallowness. He asks Anya if she would like to review some problems she got wrong on a quiz, but she leaves once she finishes eating. Anya arrives home and greets her family before noticing her worn-out parents. Reading their minds, she realizes how hard they work. With newfound resolve, Anya asks Loid to study with her, but he assumes that she got another Tonitrus and collapses, with Yor catching him.

Before Yor heads out shopping, she asks Anya if there is anything she wants. Anya asks for some tea cakes Henry gave her but cannot remember the name, so Yor promises to find them, along with an "amazing cake" that Anya says Damian owes her.

Yor returns home with several boxes of cake and the news that she met Melinda Desmond, to the surprise of Loid and Anya. While Yor tells Anya about all the cakes she got from Melinda, Loid begins to suspect that the meeting was premeditated. Hearing his thoughts, Anya loudly clarifies why Yor went out, dissuading his suspicions. With Yor and Melinda able to interact, Loid conceives Plan C: The Mommy-Friends Scheme. Depending on Melinda's standing within the Desmond family, this plan could provide an even more direct route to Donovan than Plan B. Reading his mind, Anya is shocked and sees this as a battle of friendship schemes. Determined not to lose, Anya runs off to study, and Loid notices this new motivation. In her room, Anya tries thinking of ways to become better friends with Damian but ends up falling asleep.

Heading to Eden Academy, a tired Anya reflects on not having made any plans to befriend Damian. After Becky greets Anya, she asks for a way to get closer to Damian, which excites Becky. She tells Anya about a technique in which a girl holds bread in her mouth and bumps into a boy while turning a corner, which will link their fates forever. Becky then buys a yakisoba burger and stuffs it in Anya's mouth. As Damian and his friends approach, Anya moves in for a 'Friendship Crash.' To her surprise, Damian dodges her attack, knowing she might do something like this. While Anya kneels on the floor with the food in her mouth, Damian and his friends make fun of her lowly appearance. Anya angrily shouts at them but accidentally spits the burger onto Damian's head, both buns placed in a similar manner to Anya's hair buns. Emile and Ewen tease him, and Anya apologizes for wasting the food. Aggravated, Damian yells at her, shocking Anya. His friends warn him not to hit her, while Becky tells Anya they need to run.

The next day, Anya confronts Damian, demanding the cake she believes she was promised. Damian says he never promised her anything, then yells at her for demanding anything after she spilled noodles on him. Damian wonders if Anya has an ulterior motive but is relieved she only wants cake instead of asking to meet his father. Hearing his thoughts, Anya then tells Damian that she wants to go to his house with her family instead. While Damian gets flustered, Becky tells Anya she is being too aggressive, and Ewen says the idea of her family interacting with the Desmonds is laughable. In response, Anya says that Yor has become friends with Melinda.

The kids are shocked to hear this, and Damian demands to know if his mother said anything about him. He thinks that if she learns about any of his dark preschool-era secrets, he is done for. He then thinks about said secrets, from wetting the bed to not sleeping without his favorite plush toy. Anya sees his thoughts and gets amused. She assures Damian that Melinda did not say much about him, and he becomes stoic. Damian turns around in a huff and says Anya's family is no different from the rest, a bunch of flies buzzing around the Desmond name. Anya gets irritated and says she and her family are serious, referring to the mission, but Damian and Becky interpret it as romantically. Later that day, when Loid returns home and wonders if Plan C can finally get moving, Anya fears she will fall behind and starts to anguish over the meaning of "friendship."

Red Circus Arc
All students from the first grade are seen in school buses heading to the museum. Anya gets excited about going on a field trip, but Becky corrects that it is a cultural experience. Anya prepares a strange plan in which she makes an ugly face at Damian which he will call ugly, and the teacher will come and try to expel him for lying. Then, Anya will intervene to defend him, and they will become friends. This goes wrong as Damian gets mad at her, but he wonders if her odd behavior towards him is because he has not returned a favor since Anya got her Tonitrus for him. He tries to take some cake he brought and give it to her but is interrupted by Emile and Ewen. Anya checks her bag for food, only to show Becky that she brought peanuts. Suddenly the bus starts to take another direction, and some terrorists get on, immobilize the dorm tutor who was on the bus as a monitor, and report to the students that their bus was hijacked, scaring Anya and the others.

Billy Squire, the leader of the terrorists, starts passing by the bus with a rifle in his hand, scaring all the children and causing them to start thinking too much about how scared they are and that they want everything to end. This causes Anya to start feeling bad since she reads all the children's thoughts, and Becky notices that Anya feels bad and worries about her. Bill gets up and tells his classmates to calm down and tells them help is on the way. Billy notices this and decides to point the rifle at him so that he stops talking, but the boy's words managed to calm all the kids, making Anya feel better.

Billy begins to tell them that he knows how important their parents are, while he begins to call the Eden students by their surnames and for the work of their parents, and tells them how they were born with all the luck in the world, threatening them to dare to pray to their parents to use the power they occupy to rescue them. Anya stares at him while she thinks about her parents. Anya decides to read the Red Circus members' minds to get an idea of where they are going. To do this, Anya loudly shouts that she has to go to the bathroom, and one of the members tells her to hold it in while thinking about where they are heading, Papier Park. Becky hears Anya repeat the location and asks her how she found out, and Anya lies that she read their lips. With the location determined, the girls devise a plan to send a message to the people outside.

Anya writes a letter, but because it is unreadable, Becky writes it instead. Damian notices them acting strangely and sends them a letter asking what are they planning. Anya throws him a reply, which Damian cannot read, so Becky has to write it again. Now aware of the plan, Damian decides to distract the terrorists. The girls take advantage of the situation, and Becky quickly opens the window to let Anya throw her I.D. with the Blackbell's help code out the bus, attracting the attention of some passersby. Billy notices this, then grabs a collar and puts it on Anya. A confused Anya tries to touch the collar to see what it is, but Billy tells her not to. He then reveals to the children that it is a bomb, and warns them that if someone on the bus tries anything else, he will blow it up along with Anya.

Anya is initially frightened by this but realizes it is a fluke after Billy thinks to himself that it is fake and is only a distraction to keep the children quiet. Anya calms down, casually plopping back to her seat and saying she is hungry, and her classmates are shocked by her lack of distress. After hearing Damian's thoughts reacting to her, Anya taunts him by whacking on the bomb with her smug smile, which frightens everyone. Anya gets dizzy by their overwhelming thoughts, and Damian assumes she was just doing it for show and did not want the others to be scared. Damian approaches Billy and asks him to attach Anya's bomb to him instead, surprising Anya. Billy acknowledges this by putting another bomb on Damian, shocking the boy. On the other hand, Anya happily says they match, which enrages him.

Anya notices Damian fearing for his life, so she takes his hand, assuring him that it will be okay and not to be scared. She then whispers to him that she overheard the terrorists saying the bombs are fake. Damian denies his fear, yanking his hand away from hers. Becky calls Anya mature for this, which makes her so proud that she knocks on her bomb again. This scares Becky and Damian, who call Anya an idiot. Suddenly, they are interrupted by a loud pop, and the bus starts to swerve. The bus makes a stop, and the students are surprised to be unharmed. Police surround the bus shortly after, and the children are relieved to see them.

While the students get excited at the thought of being rescued, Billy quickly shoots it down by firing at the ceiling and yelling at them to sit back in their seats. Billy and the other terrorists wonder how the police managed to get ahead of them, remarking that the students could not have known where they were going. Watching from her seat, Anya gets nervous. Billy then makes the students cover the bus windows with black sheets, then steps outside with Damian in tow to make his demands with the police.While Billy waits for a response, the children are left to wait in anxiety, and Anya gets dizzy from their overwhelming thoughts. Later, the Blackbell company provides the children with rations and water, brought to them by Henry, and Anya is surprised to see him present. Henry tells the students to make sure they eat, but Anya is already eating and exclaims how hungry she is, shocking the housemaster. While eating the rations, Anya remarks that she has had better and worse food than this.

Anya reads Billy's mind and learns about his past and daughter, Biddy. After the Red Circus is told that the second bus has been secured with their comrades dead, the driver, Vadim, plans to explode the bus once the strike force storms inside. Anya hears his thoughts and is shocked that they have a real bomb. She then hears the thoughts of the Secret Police planning on storming the bus. As their thoughts grow closer to the bus, Anya worries they will all explode when the terrorists find out. Determined to do something about this, Anya bravely gets up from her seat with Billy set in her sights, surprising her classmates.

As Billy notices her, Anya realizes she should have thought of what to say before getting up. Anya considers mentioning the Secret Police's advance but fears they will explode the bus immediately. She then thinks about what to say as Henry tells her to sit back down. Suddenly, Anya gets the idea to ask for more rations, as the police held back when the students were eating. Anya's bold statement shocks everyone, and Billy threatens to detonate her collar bomb. Anya is undeterred because she knows it is fake and says she is not afraid, mirroring Biddy's speech.

This unnerves Billy as he begins to see his daughter in Anya. He begins thinking about Biddy's words, and Anya tries to parrot some of them while reading his mind. Billy snaps and removes the bomb from Anya, telling her to leave. However, Anya realizes he does not want to do his misdeeds while she is on the bus, so she refuses, to everyone's shock once again. Billy yells at Anya, saying that the Eden students are selfish elites, and yells at her to get off. Anya refuses and demands the rations, making Billy believe that the children are not eating enough at home and is astonished that Anya is willing to ask for food for her classmates' sake, embarrassing the girl.

Billy asks Anya why she is doing this for everyone, and after some thinking, Anya repeats Loid's motivation for becoming a spy, wanting to make a world where kids don't need to cry. A noble goal, although she is a kid herself. Billy's resolve is shaken even more, but Vadim tries to motivate him by avenging his daughter and aims his gun at Anya, but Henry stands in the way. Moved by the memory of Biddy, Billy takes the group's guns and bags. He then steps out of the bus and surrenders, dumbfounding Anya. An enraged Vadim tries to drive away but gets blocked by armored police vehicles. As the bus comes to a sudden halt, Anya falls face-first to the floor. Vadim picks up Anya as he leaves the bus, waving her around as his hostage. However, Martha leaps from above and immobilizes Vadim with a taser. Martha safely catches Anya, and the police move in to arrest the terrorists. After the hostages are freed, Anya waves to a crying Becky, who runs over to her and Martha.

At Eden Academy, an awards ceremony is held for Anya, Becky, Damian, and Bill as they each receive a Stella Star for their courageous efforts during the hijacking crisis. As the students celebrate their achievement, Henry reflects on how no one was hurt during the crisis.

Going back to the arrest of the Red Circus members, the information blackout gets lifted, and the student's guardians are informed and instructed to pick up their children. One by one, the students get picked up by their parents until only Anya and Damian are left. Damian praises Anya for what she did and apologizes for how he treated her before. Anya also praises Damian, calling the time he asked for her bomb to be put on him a "hero move." Damian quickly gets flustered and says anyone would have done that, as that is how friends look out for each other. Anya is stunned by this statement and believes she has fulfilled the Friendship Scheme. Anya tries to propose going to Damian's house, claiming that is what friends do, along with introducing their parents to each other and talking about world peace, making Damian double back on calling her a friend. Damian then looks to the children with their parents and says there is no point in trying to cozy up to him since he barely has a relationship with his parents. Anya pitifully pats him on the back, and he retorts that her parents are also not there. Just as the Police Chief offers to give Anya a ride home, Yor speeds over to her. Yor asks Anya if she is alright, which she initially affirms, then begins bawling in her mother's arms.

As Yor comforts Anya, Anya hears the thoughts of Loid, who had raced back to Berlint from his mission, and he thinks of making Anya's favorite dinner when he returns home, which excites her. Melinda arrives shortly after and reunites with Damian. Anya hears Melinda's thoughts that affectionately dote on Damian and remind her of Yuri. After Damian mentions his father, Anya is taken aback by Melinda's negative thoughts on Damian conflicting with her motherly affection.

At the Forger home, Anya celebrates her new Stella Star while the family has breakfast. While Loid and Yor are proud of her, they scold her for her recklessness during the bus hijacking. Loid drives Anya to school and apologizes for not being there to pick her up, although Anya is fine since she knows he was. Anya looks outside and sees a family, then asks Loid if the families that came to pick up their kids love them more, thinking about how strange Melinda was with Damian. Loid assumes that Anya now resents him because he did not come to pick her up and wonders how to overcome this. Hearing his thoughts, Anya steers Loid into buying her some cake after school.

At school, Anya, now going by "Double Starlight Anya," has gained an increase in popularity among her classmates. Seeing this, Anya begins making plans to make many friends that could conquer the world. Damian steps in and tells their classmates how Anya is a commoner. However, this boosts her image as their classmates gain even more admiration for her. Intrigued by the lower class, the kids ask Anya what kinds of meals she eats, and she replies with the breakfast Yor made for her. Anya believes that instead of pushing to get into Damian's house, she should have done the opposite and invited him to hers. Now dubbing this reverse scheme the "B Plan," Anya tries to impress Damian with her family's strength.

To get good responses from her classmates, Anya begins embellishing the stories of her life as a commoner, worrying Becky. Becky chimes in by mentioning how she and Anya have gotten trained by Yor, who is strong. Anya becomes jealous that her classmates now want to get trained by Yor, so she makes up an excuse and tries to train them herself. Damian butts in to stop them, and Anya directs her frustration toward him, calling him a jerk. Damian fires back by insulting Anya and her family, making the girl tear up a little. With this defeat, their classmates now believe that Damian and his family are stronger, and Anya begins to bawl as she angrily shouts that she is supposed to be the stronger one. Damian apologizes to Anya and promises to buy her candy, which gets her to stop crying. Emile and Ewen are shocked by what he just did, but Damian reasons that properly apologizing makes him the stronger man, which Anya rebukes, and the two start bickering. Their classmates leave them behind, and the two end up arriving late to class.

After a half-day at school, Anya insists on playing, so Loid takes her and Bond to the dog park, where he also has his meeting with Sylvia. As the two spies talk in code, Anya recognizes the disguised Sylvia as Loid's boss and approaches her to look at Aaron. As Loid recalls meeting Aaron beforehand, Anya also recognizes him as "one of the bad guy's dogs." Bond and Aaron get close, and, with her telepathy, Anya can hear the two talk. Bond does not remember Aaron, which upsets him, and having finished their meeting, Sylvia decides to leave. However, Anya knows Bond wants to play with Aaron, so the two run after Sylvia, asking for his name and how he got it. Anya then declares that the two dogs should have a showdown to see who is better, and to Loid's surprise, Sylvia accepts. After Sylvia promises to remove his new extra mission if he wins, Loid quickly accepts. Reading their minds, Anya is entertained by their feud.

The first event is the obstacle course, and whoever finishes it to the end faster wins. Aaron and Sylvia earn a flawless 39 seconds, impressing Anya. On the contrary, Bond stumbles across the course and finishes at over 2 minutes. However, Loid refuses to back down. The next event is "tracking and retrieving," in which the dogs must find their opposing owner's handkerchiefs, which have been hidden around the park. The dogs begin by familiarizing themselves with Loid and Sylvia's scents, who have wiped away their scent as much as possible. The dogs start tracking, and Bond quickly retrieves the handkerchief from Sylvia's jacket, although he was actually tracking the dried pasta stuck on it.

The final event is frisbee tracking and the dog who can catch a frisbee thrown the farthest wins. Bond suddenly foresees Loid and Sylvia throwing their frisbees, but a sudden gust of wind brings it back to them, and they restart. Anya sees the vision, and she and Bond smugly believe that the match is theirs. The events of the vision play out as Loid and Sylvia throw their frisbees, but Bond stays in place, to Loid's confusion. As the sudden gust of wind comes, the frisbee returns to Bond, who runs over to catch it as Anya cheers him on. However, the frisbee hits him in the face, and he falls over, to Loid and Anya's concern, and Sylvia decides to call it a tie.

Afterward, Anya tells Aaron that she had fun playing with him, and together with Bond, the three play some more. Sylvia prepares to leave with Aaron, and Anya accidentally strikes a nerve when she says that someone at her age had fun. Despite that, Sylvia confirms that she did have fun and tells Anya they should play again sometime, to Anya's excitement.

Mole Hunt Arc
Chaos ensues as Loid welcomes a drunk Yor home, and sleepy Anya mutters that they get noisy when they kiss. The next morning, Anya wakes up early, and Loid prepares her breakfast, reminding her to get ready for her trip to the zoo with Becky. Moments later, Martha and Becky arrive at the Forger residence to pick up Anya. Before they leave, Martha has to muffle Becky's mouth to shut her when she tries to chat with Loid, and Loid thanks them for letting Anya go with them. Anya says goodbye to her dad, asking him to come home early, and he retorts that she is the one leaving. Anya has a fun time at the zoo with Becky, so much so that she quickly fell asleep as soon as she got home.

The next day, the family has breakfast made by Yor, and Anya says her cooking has gotten a little bit better. Hearing his thoughts, Anya is shocked to learn that Loid had a "spy battle" yesterday. Before Loid goes to his room, he tells Anya to come to him if she needs help with homework, but Anya tells him to go ahead and rest. Yor and Anya sit together in the living room, where Anya draws several animals. After Yor asks if she had fun at the zoo, Anya excitedly tells her about it and shows her a stuffed toy lion she got there.

Jealous at Anya's new toy, Bond ruffles his fur to imitate a lion's mane to impress Anya. After attempting to imitate other animals at Anya's request, Yor brushes Bond's fur to normal, saying he looks better the way he is. Yor comments how Bond's fur has become more shinier since they got him, and Anya asks to be shiny too, so Yor brushes her hair. Franky makes a sudden appearance with things that Loid asked for. Anya gets the idea to brush Franky's hair, and the four start to engage in a noisy chatter, with Anya and Bond attempting to make Franky's hair shiny and silky.
