## Summary

At the end of the school day, Martha Marriott and Becky Blackbell leave Anya Forger at the school bus station. However, as Anya waits for the bus, someone announces that due to a medical emergency with the bus driver, the next service will be late, so Anya decides to stay and wait. Henry Henderson sees her alone and asks her to help him carry some school supplies. Anya is hesitant but agrees when he offers her some tea cakes. As they walk back to the school, Henderson asks Anya if she is having fun at school. Anya replies that she is doing okay, but quickly asks if she will get a Tonitrus for not having fun. Henderson tells Anya that she will not and can rely on him if she is having problems at school.

When Anya obliviously says she is fine, Henderson is shocked to see her in a good mood despite already receiving two Tonitrus Bolts, and feels embarrassed for thinking he needed to step in and show teacherly concern for her. As Anya reads his mind, she too is shocked since she completely forgot about that. Worried about not getting her sweets, Anya says she is a little bit worried about the Tonitrus, calming Henderson. Anya tells him she now carries many handkerchiefs since her last Tonitrus was for not having one.

Henderson explains that the real issue is one's attitude toward preparedness and personal grooming, citing them as building blocks for elegance. Donna Schlag's harshness is her way of keeping students from getting sloppy as they grow comfortable with school. Anya responds in confusion, which Henderson attributes to her youth. Anya tries to impress him by saying she understands while spitting out a nonsensical response, shocking Henderson even more as he realized Anya really did not understand a single word he said. Henderson tells her she must be disciplined at all times, and Anya asks if she will get a Stella by being disciplined. Henderson understands that Anya wants to be an Imperial Scholar and asks what her reasons and goals are. Anya thinks of Loid's mission but tells her teacher that she thinks the Stellas look cool. Henderson believes Anya is superficial and reminds her that in the admissions interview, she said she wanted to be like the headmaster. As Anya does not remember saying it, she repeats she only cares about getting all the Stars quickly.

An upset Henderson tells her not to disrespect the Imperial Scholars and Stella since most of the students who got to be Imperial Scholars spilled blood and sweat to become great people and achieve big things. He takes her to the hall of fame of the most outstanding students from Eden, all of whom are Imperial Scholars, and explains how hard they worked to achieve that title. Anya realizes that she must work hard one day at a time, like with Loid's mission, and asks Henderson if he thinks she can become an Imperial Scholar. He says he cannot respond to that, as every student must decide that for themselves, and there is no need to rush.

They arrive at Henderson's office, and as promised, he gives Anya tea cakes. He asks Anya if she would like to review some problems she got wrong on a quiz, but she leaves once she finishes eating to watch *Spy Wars*. After she leaves, Henderson thinks to himself how education is never easy. Anya arrives home and greets her family before noticing her parents are worn out. Reading their minds, she realizes how hard they work. With newfound resolve, Anya asks Loid to study with her, but he jumps to the conclusion she got another Tonitrus and collapses, with Yor catching him.

## Trivia

* On page 12, there are four portraits shown which are based on real people. Those people are Shihei Lin (editor of the *SPY x FAMILY* manga) and the Japanese voice cast for the Forgers in the anime: Saori Hayami (Yor), Takuya Eguchi (Loid), and Atsumi Tanezaki (Anya).
* The tea cakes that Anya were given were likely based off Tunnock's Teacakes, a popular tea cake from Scotland, which features Italian meringue atop of crunchy shortbread.
