She could kill before they get a chance to think.

I do wonder if Yor will stop being an assassin. I hope not.

Plot dartboard: Nightfall gets the hit/kidnapping job on lady mob-boss that would have gone to Twilight if he weren't vacationing, leads to confrontation with Yor Thorn Princess.

Comedy option: as above, but with Daybreak.

Oh man, we need Daybreak and Nightfall on this cruise as well for maximum carnage.

So now Yor is dressed up while looking exactly like the old photograph of Shaty, and she's also holding her baby boy. I wonder if that was intentional. It's a good thing that Yor is Yor, or I'd be more worried.

Also that Mom outfit is absolutely adorable and I need Loid to see her in it.

Man the assassin is in for a rude surprise if it stays like that.


edit: Also lol at Yor's "Don't crush the baby!"

All I wanted from this arc was for Yor to be able to flex her skills and murder some people. She's been crazy in the sense that she kicks cars, scares attack dogs, etc. But she hasn't gotten her hands dirty really since her introduction. Coupled with bodyguard duty and her director getting first blood last chapter I was worried how soft a ball the director would be pitching to Yor this arc.

I'm glad my concerns were unfounded.


Same. :same:
Also loving how creative she is at ending the threats.


Also loved the frog pun. Even if the flogging seems a bit weird it’s an ace translation if you ask me.


And Loid is a good father. :colbert: Hé got her the keychain.

Fully agree with the people here saying this is what Yor needed. This elevates her from housewife status and I’m happy to see it handled so well.

I’ actually also pretty happy to see Yor struggle. She’s beastly strong, but not invincible.

I hope the old guy is okay.

I like how considerate Anya was this chapter. She knew Yor didn't want to show her wound so she changed her mind about diving. Of course they got to go anyway once they saw the suits, but I feel like the telepathy has made her more considerate than most kids her age would be. Also, just a beautiful chapter.

There’s a darker side to it though. Anja is aware her family is together because of the mission and that both mom and dad need eachother to pretend to be a real family.
She’s incredibly scared that something will cause the family to break up causing her to go back to a fosterhome. :(


Now I made myself sad. I’ll just read this chapter again to make me feel better. :unsmith:

Loid's mused that WISE will watch over Yor and Anya after the mission's finished and he's left, so the worst-case scenario probably wouldn't happen... but Anya doesn't know that, and even if she did, she'd probably still be terrified of him leaving because she's been desperate for a stable family.

You're doing a terrible job at making me feel better about Anya's anxiety. :(

I'm going to read this chapter again.

It’s impossible to appreciate him more. He’s the best teacher, an old man who just really wants the best for all his students, even if they seem dim witted and/or don’t share his values. He’s great.

We've never seen Desmond interact or think about his mother either, so I feel like their relationship likely isn't ideal...

This. I actually assumed they were divorced since Desmond never mentioned her.


Regarding the reveal:
When Loid finds out a wife is going to be very kissed indeed.

:aaaaa:

And here I thought we were in for just a simple "Yor is a superwoman" antics plot with a dash of "oh but she's also socially inept" melancholy. Wasn't expecting plot development!

Got a good laugh out of Yor not understanding "piercing eyes". I wonder if she's ever heard the expression "staring daggers".

Also same.
It had some good and relatable lines though, like Yor’s quest to be normal.
