## Summary

The chapter opens in the Forger family home, in which Loid is explaining fractions to Anya to help her with her studies. Anya is visibly confused by Loid's teaching, so Yor turns and pauses as she is cleaning the room and suggests they take a break. Loid turns down the suggestion and says that Anya needs to memorize the math by today, thinking to himself that plan A, to get Anya Imperial Scholar status, is now the best option for his operation's success since plan B, to get Anya to befriend the target's son Damian, failed when the two fell out. He reminds his daughter that if she does not finish it quickly, she will miss her spy cartoon, and a now startled Anya decides to read his mind in order to get the answer. She finds it too talkative to read, however, and, when opting to read Yor's mind, finds that hers is too empty and that she is just as clueless, and Anya falls to the ground in shock. Yor asks if she is okay, and Loid asks why she cannot solve it, and Anya runs away to her room despite Loid's protests, screaming that she hates studying.

Yor says to Loid that he should not be forcing her to study like that, but he just says that she needs to if she wants to be an Imperial Scholar. Yor asks if that is what she even wants to be, and Loid thinks to himself that it is just convenient for his mission. Yor then says that she just wants Anya to enjoy her time at school and study enough that she passes. Loid sighs and agrees, Yor then growing flustered and apologizing for telling him how to raise his own daughter. Her husband dismisses this, admitting that she is right and thanking her for speaking up before expressing his trouble dealing with children and suggesting they take a break for some tea.

Loid calls into Anya's room that he is making hot chocolate if she wants any, sighing when he is met with silence as Yor laughs and comments on how Anya's stubbornness is similar to that of her and her younger brother when they were young. Loid then says that his intelligence must be impressive since he works for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and asks how he studied back when he was younger, to which Yor just says that he is more on top of things than she is. She says that embarrassing as it is, he taught her more than she ever taught him, remembering their numerous lessons, and telling Loid how happy he seemed when she praised him for his studies. Loid comments that using praise as motivation may have been his reason to study so hard, and Yor agrees, suggesting he could do something similar for Anya. Loid says he does not know about that as he thinks to himself that he is far from the ideal father for her, but his wife tells him to have confidence and explains that Anya thinks he is a wonderful father as she reminds him that she gave him 100 points during the Eden interview. Touched, Loid thanks her, and Yor again grows flustered and apologizes for being so forward despite being an outsider, but Loid tells her that she is part of the family now and he will always be counting on her for things he cannot do. Yor then remembers that she is his wife and Loid laughs and says not to forget that when they are outside, then asks her if she could help with Anya's study sessions. She agrees, saying there is no rush and that they can do it together.

Loid thinks to himself that she is right, there is no need to rush, as, if all he wanted to do was assassinate Donovan Desmond, he could have done that in many other ways since it will not resolve anything. He reminds himself that as a spy he needs to play the waiting game and earn his target's trust, but he must understand Anya first. He tells Yor he is going to check up on Anya, and she says that she will do the dishes. Loid calls into Anya's room that her spy show is about to start and that he is sorry for earlier. When met with silence, he enters to find her fast asleep after studying on her own, mumbling to herself that she will be number one for her father. Loid smiles and carries Anya to her bed, a little confused as she then mutters in her sleep that her mother should not kill her father. As he exits her room, Loid wonders how he would feel if this was a real family.

In town, Dominic reunites with Yuri Briar at their apartment building and asks him if he is working hard, to which Yuri replies he has been so busy he has not been home for a while. Dominic comments that it must be difficult, and Yuri then remembers the party, asking him what Yor's boyfriend was like. Confused, Dominic asks if he has not congratulated Yor on her marriage, and a now very shocked Yuri asks him if she is actually married.
