Anya Tells Damian His Mother’s Feelings in Spy x Family Chapter 108

Ever since the beginning, Damian has worked hard to get his family’s acknowledgment. Every member of the family is detached from one another, and Damian desperately seeks their love. He even thinks his mother doesn’t care about him at all. However, Anya’s telepathy allows her to read people’s thoughts. In Chapter 75, she’s confused by Melinda’s confusing thoughts about Damian. After the bus hijack incident, Melinda comes running to Damian and cries tears of joy after seeing him safe.

She thinks about how much she loves her son, making Anya believe the former is just like Yuri. However, Melinda snaps at the mere mention of her husband. Her thoughts instantly turn dark and she even wishes Damian died in the hijacking. Her inner monologue is extremely contradictory, is unable to decide if she’s happy after seeing Damian safe or not. Anya realizes there’s something wrong with Melinda but can’t put her finger on it. However, Spy x Family Chapter 108 finally reveals that Melinda is extremely scared of her husband.

She wants to get close to Damian but is helpless against Donnavan’s warning. Anya and Yor meet her and the former easily realizes Melinda’s true feelings. She tells Damian that his mother actually loves him, and even Yor chimes in. Damian runs away after blushing but it’s clear he’s genuinely happy about it. Loid’s mission relies heavily on the friendship scheme and Anya’s message to Damian has a positive impact on their friendship. Anya and Yor are both getting closer to the Desmond Family, which will surely aid Loid in the grand scheme of Spy x Family’s Operation Strix to broker peace through Donovan.
