Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Garden, while ultimately an assassination organization, focused on maintaining the peace between countries? IIRC some of Yor's targets were people who were gonna betray Ostania but cause massive incidents in how they did it. Also Yor's boss was worried her husband wanted closer contact woth Desmond who is pro-war as far as we know, but it was ambiguous if the worry was Loid having pro-Desmond views or trying to get close to him. And I might be confused but I think Frankie's contacts were caught by the SS, not merked?

If I'm not wrong then Garden is a blacker version of WISE in that they also work towards maintaining the peace, just with murders instead of spy work. Of course as I said I could be remembering wrong, it's been a while.

I hope Garden and WISE enter an uneasy alliance to stop all-out war and then they both decide to send their best agents out on a joint operation.

I think that's kind of the perception, but honestly we still know so incredibly little about them it's hard to get a read on what their deal is.

Okay, checking back Garden seems to focus on murdering traitors to the country, including Red Circus which originated as an anti-war, anti-government group even if they radicalized. I got it confused with Yor's cover boss/fellow assassin believing people who seek war are scum. So yeah it's still up in the air what the motivations of Garden are.

Loid asked if it was the SSS, but Franky stated he beloved Garden were behind that contact's murder cause it was not really the SSS's style.

Eventually you have to assume Damian will realize his dad is a prick and realize he's not worth trying to impress, I figure that's when he'll change course.

Anya is effortlessly sweeping her mark off his feet and she's not even aware of how successful she is. I could not be more proud of her.

I feel like if this goes on long enough, Damian is going to end up writing an agonizing love poem.

I can see a little scenario where Damian keeps a cringy notebook full of poems, one of his crew sees it and asks what inside and Damian lies to save face. Anya reads said crewmate's mind later and assumes the notebook has stuff that would be useful to her father. Hilarity ensues as everyone in the class has their own ideas what Damian has written into the notebook and tries to steal it.

If rolls can be crunchy, so can cakes.

Cakes frequently have crunchy bits like chocolate, nuts, sprinkles, candies, and some frostings on them.

However it's important to remember that Desmond got tea cakes, which are different than what we good non-Britains(and some Southerners) are thinking of. Tea cakes are essentially a type of cookie, and thus are even more likely to have a crunch to them, especially on the edge.

Yuri care about an isekai? He'd be trying to get back to Yor as soon as possible. The only reason he'd bother is if it had a Yor lookalike.
