Short Mission 13 (
Summary[]
Bond prepares to stay vigilant on Loid's advice
As Loid, Anya, and Yor leave home for their daily lives, Loid asks Bond to watch the place. After watching his family leave through the window, Bond briefly paces around the house before flopping to the floor in boredom. Bond is then startled by the delivery man ringing the doorbell. Remembering Loid's advice to be vigilant in the case that the enemy could be posing as a delivery man, Bond growls at the door but quickly relaxes after the delivery man leaves. Seeing that his work is done, Bond remembers Yor saying that dinner tastes best after a hard day of work and snoops around the kitchen for food. He accidentally breaks a glass and runs to Anya's room in fear after imagining Yor threatening to kill him for this mistake.
Hiding in Anya's bed, the terrified Bond sees Anya's Penguin plush in her closet and believes it holds a grudge against him for murdering it. Unbeknownst to him, the neighbors outside are gossiping about a relationship, and the paranoid Bond mishears some of their words as the plush's. Agent Penguinman suggests settling their war, but Bond brings up how they sealed a peace treaty with Anya. However, Penguinman is firm about not forgiving him.
Bond licks the stitches on Agent Penguinman
As a gesture of reconciliation, Bond fetches two pieces of fish from the fridge as an offering to the plush. Now face-to-face with Penguinman, Bond begins to recall his memories in Project Apple, witnessing fellow dogs being mistreated and experimented on. Bond then licks the stitches on Penguinman, another wounded soul. When the Forgers return home, Yor is confused by the missing fish and asks Anya, who is just as clueless. When Anya tries to open her room, Bond is seen resting next to Penguinman. With the fish he left still on the floor, Anya's room ends up smelling like fish for days.
