let me be brave

To complete my post about Twilight's steady feelings development, I tried to make the similar one with Yor.

But it turns out, Yor's feeling development is more difficult to pinpoint. But nevertheless, I think these are the moments.

---------

"This man.... He understands me..... I..." 💘💘

"I'm so useless. But he still accept me for who I am. I.... I really am glad I married him" 💖💘

"Can I at least feed them a propper meal? I am the wife dangnabit!!"

"Who is she?! I will not let her ruined what I already have. I'm doing this for Yuri's sake. (Aren't I?)"

"Oh my. I don't do this just for Yuri, huh? I do it for them too. I better get up, finish this, and go home."

"He.... he sees what I think is my greatest flaws, and turned it into my greatest strength. I guess that's why he's special to me."

"What... what is this uncontrolable shaking of my heart??? Why is this always happens when I'm with him??!!"

-------

Hmm... I guess Yor does fall first. And Loid fell harder.

But Loid already get a bit of realization of his feelings (as per chp 86). Meanwhile Yor is still trying to grasp what is happening with her.

She's so adorable, OmG 🥰🥰🥰🥰

so what yor was trying to say is

"Oh my... this woman is kinda interesting, huh?"

Cupid strikeeee!!!! 💘💘💘💘💘

(Lost at words)

"Why is she able to invoke one of the dearest memory of mine?"

"Where's she? She's been gone too long."

"Finally back in my arms. Welcome home....."

"Oh dear heaven. I've fallen, haven't I?"

Twilight's growth of feelings that has been developing for around 4 months sxf world time (my guess)

He is growing allright 🥰🥰

Good for him.

He’s all better, Anya. He looks kind of Frankensteiny. That couldn’t be helped. S-Scars are medals of valor for soldiers. Agent Penguin suffered honorable injuries in battle. Medals… Correct. His scars are nothing to be ashamed of.

My favorite manga panel finally got animated 😭❤

*MANGA SPOILERS AHEAD*

It's interesting how Twilight is slowly getting worse at lying to others and himself since being with Anya and Yor - something that Handler has noted (although she might also just be teasing him, she seems to be one of the few who he allows to make fun of him).

Very early in the series, Twilight effs up (or did he?... hmmm) when he mixes up his lie with Yor's lie. Maybe he is a bit concussed, but this man's Westalis' best spy, you'd think he'd know how to keep his head straight even after a few blows to it. He is slipping.

Then there's the issue of Twilight leaving loose ends to his lies and not being ready for when they come back to him like a boomerang. In the latest 'take your daughter to work day' episode, Yor excitedly asks about Loid's "concussive recovery method", a lie he told her during their first date/ punch-session with smugglers (they are a weird couple). Sure, maybe Twilight really thinks Yor would be too dense to remember... but a master spy would never assume that, much less look completely caught off-guard by the mention of an old lie. He is slipping.

And of course, there's the lies he tells himself. After Twilight defuses the bombs during the Cruise Arc, he returns to the childcare area to see his daughter fast asleep. He chides himself for abandoning his family... but catches himself abandoning his 'for the mission' lie. Would Westalis' best spy forget the life he's tailored for Operation Strix is just a lie? No. He is slipping.

Or is he? If Twilight's gotten worse at lying, it's because he's had to lie less. Increasingly, what he tells Anya and Yor is the truth - he is proud of his daughter, he appreciates his wife. And increasingly too, the lie of Loid Forger has become his life, and Loid Forger is becoming him. We've seen throughout the series that [redacted]'s history is becoming Loid's history - when he tells the tailor Loid is from the countryside, when he tells Yor about his mother and the war... those are all [redacted]'s background, not some cover story.

Twilight is slipping, but he's slipping away from his lying and his lies. He is slipping into something at once more scary and more comfortable - a real life as a father, a spouse... his own person rather than someone else's lies.

“Lord must have been generous to you. He never answers any of my prayers. I don’t know why. What did I do? What is wrong with me? Please just tell me so I can get better. I don’t wanna end up like Mama I wanna be dancing up on the screen like the pretty girls in the pictures. I want what they have so badly… to be perfect… to be loved by as many people as possible to make up for all my time spent suffering”.

But also, I'll be honest. It's not only the narrative importance of this entire sequence. It's just fucking hilarious. Twilight's already had enough with Nightfall's "suggestions" and he's like

You ain't talk shit about the Forger family
