Spy x Family is not even halfway done with its first season, but even still, the anime has become the one to beat this year. The Forger family has made fans with netizens all over the world, after all. Loid and his precious clan are enough to make anyone smitten. But over in the manga, well – fans are at a low after learning about one of Twilight’s most painful moments growing up.
If you are caught up with the manga, you will know Spy x Family has been busy exploring Twilight’s past as a child. The flashback sequence has given fans an understanding of the war between East and West as it was. Of course, it followed Twilight as he was forced into hiding with his family and watched those closest to him die. But of course, the flashback’s final phase took that angst to the next level.

For years, Twilight kept that grief bottled inside, and he blamed himself for their deaths. So of course, it was reassuring to see Twilight reunite with his friends.
