Anya/Relationships

## Omega

***Anya*** has a complicated relationship with her soulmate Omega, who is part of the android army and her enemy. Their official ship name is known as *Anyega* or *Omeya* to fans. Ever since meeting him, things have no longer been the same for either of them.

In Awakening (III), she officially meets him in the Dreamscape lab where she slept for twenty-five years. ***Anya*** is instantly aware of her connection with Omega once the numbers on her soulmate mark reach 0 when he appears in front of her. However, when she exits the pod and attempts to explain that the two of them are soulmate, he immediately kills her.

Following after in The Price of Survival (I), ***Anya*** has mysteriously come back to life after dying from the gunshot. After attempting to recollect herself from the shock, she immediately tries to flee from the lab. ***Anya*** almost makes it before a soldier captures her and she struggles to get away. He threatens to hurt her if she doesn’t cooperate, although he doesn’t finish his sentence before Omega kills him. ***Anya*** turns around, sensing him with her timer, before unofficially addressing him in confusion. When he attempts to walk toward her, she stops him before a group of humans ambush him and runs as he defends himself.

During The Price of Survival (III), Omega follows her and the group of soldiers into the tunnels before it is blown up in flames. She turns back to see him a second time before escaping with the other humans as the fire rapidly spreads.

Continuing on in Survivor, her older brother, Alexei, shows a hologram of Omega, proving he is alive after the explosion. Afterwards, he states how he wants ***Anya*** to fight in battle and kill him. However, she interrupts him, stating she will not since she is no killer. Alexei then tells her that Omega shot her without hesitation while questioning how she can be so naïve and selfish. As an invalid response, ***Anya*** brushes a finger against her soulmate mark.

***Anya*** and Omega meet again with their respective groups in Equivalent Exchange (I) as part of a deal to exchange prisoners — her, for Alexei’s squad leader. Alexei pushes her towards Omega and ***Anya*** stumbles until being caught in his arms. The two become very close in proximity, and remain in that position, until ***Anya*** uses a device against Omega that electrocutes him. Unprepared for the attack, he falls to the ground with the device in his chest. She then pulls a gun against him as he reboots, although her y shows extreme reluctance. ***Anya***’s hands shake as she hesitates pulling the trigger, giving Omega time to stop her. He holds her in place as she fights against him, before ***Anya*** pulls down his right sleeve to expose his own soulmate timer. Not wanting her to inspect it, he quickly snatches his arm away, allowing her the chance to escape.

As she attempts to find a place to hide, she notices Omega following after her in Hide and Seek. She enters a building that’s unstable without much thought. He warns ***Anya*** that it’s dangerous then says they have much to discuss. Omega promises not to harm her while she runs up the steps to hide from him. While ***Anya*** makes her escape, the stairs collapse from under her. He holds onto her soul marked arm with his own then says that he will pull her up. She refuses his help based on her trauma when meeting him, then falls to her death.

In Soulmates (I), ***Anya*** is lying on the ground on top of his jacket that Omega put down for her. Shortly after, she comes back to life as a result from breaking her neck during the fall. ***Anya*** tells him she doesn’t know why she keeps reviving. Omega says he can help her find out, to which she questions in disbelief how she can expect her to trust him after he shot her. While he states how they are at war and enemies, ***Anya*** shakily stands while showing her timer. She then retaliates by stating she is *not* his enemy, but his *soulmate*. Omega denies the fact as she glares at him, to which she continues insisting. He states how it is a *mistake*, that he is an android and she is a human. Omega then tells her she is to come with him after the storm passes. As a result, ***Anya*** calls him a monster while saying she won’t leave with him. Shortly after, his closes a distance between then and tells her humans are the ones responsible for the war.

Following up in part two, Soulmates (II), they continue their discussion. ***Anya*** appearing in denial for the possibility of humans ending the world. She then states how the androids took everything from her, including her younger sister. While Omega is distracted by the conversation, she takes his gun. She warns Omega to stay back, positioning herself to shoot him. He ignores ***Anya’s*** warning by stepping closer, their discussion continuing. He then mentions their bond as soulmates, questioning her whether she will shoot. Unexpectedly, tears fall from her eyes before Anya takes the shot at Omega’s chest. This gives her a chance to escape, having her immediately run away.

Continuing in the next chapter, Lucky Once, Lucky Twice, ***Anya*** runs into her friend named Ivan. As she stares at the gun she took from Omega, she tells him—mostly to herself—about how she shot him. Her face appears distressed, before positioning to throw the gun away until Ivan stops her.

In, Mind Over Matter, ***Anya*** and Ivan have a discussion revolving the topic around soulmates. When he states how one is tied down to waiting and that it is unfortunate, she disagrees. She states how the universe has bounded the two people—using her mother's words from her childhood—, clinging onto the hope over soulmates. Shortly after, ***Anya*** retaliates back by when Ivan states the androids have killed many humans. He analyzes her before pointing out her sympathy for them.

During, Perspective when ***Anya*** is patching up Ivan’s wound from a battle, she asks him whether he fought against Omega, while attempting to appear casual. He denies it, stating he has never gone one-on-one with him before.

In Into the Abyss, the mysterious group called Wraiths have a conversation involving Omega, unaware ***Anya*** is hearing. They state how they were finally able to face against him. When mentioning the shards of Dramaxil that will erode his program, ***Anya*** shakily clutches onto her soulmate timer. Once a Wraith mentions the result may end up in his death, her face shows immense worry. Following it up by the leader stating she will use Omega then kill him, having ***Anya*** filled with fear and shock over him. When she questions Ivan about who they are and what they said, concern is flashed over her face.

During ...It Stared Back, ***Anya*** is having a conservation with Ivan as to the real reason she accompanied him. However, once Omega arrives to the scene, she quickly notices his presence. The two officially meet eyes and are seeing each other again after some time.

The scene continues in Quick Draw, where ***Anya*** exhales a breath and touches her soulmate timer when looking at him. When one of Omega’s eyes glow red, she appears surprised and worried again. Afterwards, when he’s positioned to shoot Ivan and vice versa, ***Anya*** steps in between them. She says how this will only end in death, although when Ivan states only Omega will be dying, she protests. She then offers herself to leave with him, knowing it is what he wants. Once walking closer to him, ***Anya*** states it is a fair deal, and there will be no tricks on her end if he lets Ivan and another human, Galina, go. When asking if Omega accepts, he responds with an: “*I do*.”

Following up in Coalescence, ***Anya*** is utterly surprised when Omega pulls out his gun and shoots. However, he takes the shot at a Wraith instead. When she hides against a podium, she realizes Omega is struggling with a group of the Wraiths. ***Anya’s*** eyes are flashed with concern at his clenched jaw and red eyes. Once Ivan prepares himself to take a shot at Omega, she appears visibly upset until Ivan misses. After ***Anya*** faces a Wraith, a Dramaxil rod targets her. However, she is left vulnerable and screams in response, expecting the hit. Although, when nothing comes, she is confused until she is shown visibly surprised at Omega stopping it. Thus, saving her life.

Continuing forward in The Killer, Omega attempts to crush the rod, but ***Anya*** stops him while stating it will hurt him. When she's takes it from him and is wounded by the Dramaxil as a result, he steps in front of her then destroys it. He instantly appears weakened, and ***Anya*** worriedly asks him if he's alright. He looks into her eyes with his red ones as a response while her face displays unmasked concern. Galina then shows up, pulling ***Anya*** away from the incoming Wraiths but she breaks from her grasp and returns to hold Omega's arm. She then tugs him along while the four of them attempt to escape. His eyes slowly turn from red to a glowing blue halfway once she continues to talk to him. As gunfire approaches them, he doesn't hesitate before shielding her body with his own, taking a few shots to his back. When the two hide in an abandoned building, ***Anya*** once again looks at Omega with concern as he clutches onto his chest, appearing vulnerable in front of her. Galina enters, ready to shoot him, and he's instantly on guard. ***Anya*** stands in between him and the gun, pleading for their to be a way to stop everything without violence. Galina is undeterred, calling Omega a monster as he glares back from his position on the ground with now glowing, red eyes.

Following the scene in part one of the season finale, Queen's Gambit (I), they continue discussing and Ivan joins in on the conversation. ***Anya*** then admits she lost someone dear to her, and won't allow the same to happen towards anyone else. He states how what happened to her sister wasn't her fault, while she insists on making a difference now. As a result, Ivan exposes Omega for being her soulmate then states how Omega killed her anyways, causing Omega's gaze to harden over the last line. She questions Ivan in shock, before turning towards Omega, stating how he must help them otherwise all of them will die. He explains how he's the target and it will give them an advantage. He approaches ***Anya*** with his onyx-colored eyes, stating how she shouldn't forget her promise to go with him. Shortly after, she's tasked to take Galina to the human base, before she will have to return then leave with Omega, as both men stay back to fight the Wraiths. As everyone prepares to separate, ***Anya*** hands Omega the gun she used to shoot him in Soulmates (II). The holster is pointed towards his direction, while she promises again to keep her word to leave with him. He tells her to *go*, then crashes through a window right into battle as ***Anya*** runs away with Galina.

## Ivan

Anya and Ivan are partners as well as friends. Ivan has a great deal of trust in her as seen in the season finale. Although Ivan is second-in-command, he treats her like an equal when they go on their mission and is respectful towards her as he comforts her in various episodes.

They first met in Direct Action [ll] when Anya was being attacked by a group of androids. He saves her by killing the androids. He asks her to put her hands up and asks if she is him. She says that she is to which he says, “you’re lying.” He is suspicious of her as she is able to breathe the toxic air. She then tells him that she was attacked to which he sees that she is bleeding red blood and is surprised by it. They are interrupted by Alexei, and Ivan tries to help her up from the ground to which she either does not see or ignores it. Some fans see this as a parallel to inAwakening [ll] when Delta tries to help her up from the ground to which she rejects.

## Delta

***Anya*** has a rather interesting relationship with the leader of the androids named Delta. It has just started to develop in part two of the season finale, titled: Queen's Gambit (II). Many of the fans even call them *Deltanya*, whether romantic or platonic, it being a combination of their names.

The two are first shown together interacting in the second episode called Awakening (II), in a place called Dreamscape. The result being ***Anya*** attempting to chronologically sleep her problems away and Delta working there. The two run into each other in the hallway, having her drop some papers from not looking ahead. There, Delta questions her decision for using the program, only to be interrupted by his boss. Once ***Anya*** rushes to leave, she looks back not expecting him to already be staring. Feeling rattled at the exchange, she finally leaves.

Later on in Bloodletting, ***Anya*** is caught off guard at the fact that Delta is broadcasting over every frequency. His proposal is wanting to make an exchange for Anya in return for her brother, Alexei’s, squad leader. He then says he will give them four hours to comply, or else he will kill the human then tear the district apart in order to find them.

Following it up in the next chapter called Equivalent Exchange (I), the two respective groups meet up in order to seal the deal. There, ***Anya*** quickly recognizes Delta from the day she entered the pod twenty-five years ago. He then mentions it is interesting that she is the immortal.

During the second part of the chapter, Equivalent Exchange (II), ***Anya*** is utterly shocked when seeing Delta reboot after taking a bullet to the head.

In To Become, ***Anya*** questions Alexei and gains more insight on Delta, discovering that he appears to be targeting people with soulmate timers. He is even the reason Alexei has an amputated arm, being apparent that he has a long history with Delta.

During part two of the season finale, Queen's Gambit (II), ***Anya*** and Galina run into Delta after managing to escape the Wraiths. She explains the situation to him involving Omega and Ivan, begging him to rescue Ivan as well. As a response, he orders the androids to take Galina away while he stays behind. When ***Anya*** protests against it, Delta hits her pressure point causing her to faint then carries her bridal style. Once ***Anya*** awakens, she sternly asks him questions. Delta then questions whether she is surprised over his determination in finding his brother, Omega, while she states she is not. Afterwards, ***Anya*** makes a deal with him, while saying he does not need to threaten her considering she is already terrified. Although, she continues by adding how she will not give up despite that. Once Delta changes the subject, he questions ***Anya*** over her dreams involving water. When asking him on his knowledge over it, he states how dying must have changed her. Then, suppressed memories that were from her trauma, begin to return. They show ***Anya*** drowning at the Dreamscape lab years ago. While unable to stand upright from the shock, Delta states how her dreams are no coincidence, and they never were.

## Alexei

Unfortunately, the relationship between Anya and her older brother, Alexei, isn't very good at all. Though it is stated by Anya in Ignorance is Bliss, that he had promised to always protect her when they were kids after she was shot and imprisoned by him. It is clear that later in Awakening (I) at their younger sister's funeral, that the start of their relationship deteriorating was because of their sister's death. Alexei undoubtedly blames Anya for their sister's death, saying: "God, Anya! We just put our sister in the ground, our baby sister-! ... And you let one of those things- .. Listen, I know it's not fair of me to blame you but ...". With Anya replying "But you do".

As we know, this was Anya's last interaction with her older brother before going to Dreamscape.

Twenty-five years later, Anya wakes up bewildered and wholly unaware of the ongoing human-android war. In Reunion, where Anya finally meets her brother again after all those years, Alexei ultimately shoots her in the head. He did this because no human could breathe the toxic air without a mask, and him suspecting that Anya was an Android trick. Meaning a ploy, an android pretending to be a human.

Anya wakes up from this, recovering and defeating death a second time after Omega shot her in the head the first time. She wakes up in a cell, where now Alexei tells her everything that has happened. The war, how it has been 25 years, and how the country is now a wasteland ... Anya cannot believe this. Saying, "Is this a joke? Because it's not funny!! No, this must be your version of revenge for what happened! Do you really hate me that much Alexei?". This shows that Alexei has a disliking to Anya even now, (probably because of their sister's death once again) and Anya knows he has hatred for her too.

Skipping forward to episode 18, Equivalent Exchange (I), Anya has been treated as if she is a war instrument thus far. Especially by Alexei, who is clearly using her for her ability to come back to life for an advantage in the war.

In this episode, key things are revealed about how Alexei feels about his younger sister, Anya. When the Androids and Humans are exchanging the squad leader and Anya, Omega asks "You would give one of your own away so easily?", with Alexei answering "She is **nothing** to me. Why should I care for a stranger?".

Despite what happened during this exchange, Anya and Alexei managed to get back to the human base safely, with Alexei being slightly injured.

In episode 26, To Become, Anya and Alexei finally have a proper conversation. Alexei finally reveals what has happened to him after all these years. With Delta torturing him, his dead soulmate numbers, not knowing if Anya was alive or not, and his amputated arm (which was caused by him getting captured by Delta).

All in all, the relationship between Anya and Alexei is very bitter. Alexei does not care for Anya very much, blames her for their sister's death, and views her very little as family.

## Anya's Mom

***Anya*** and her mother, whose name we do not know, have a very loving relationship with each other. When she was six, her mother was affectionate in words and through actions. Despite her already having a younger sister, her mother would occasionally call her *Little One*. Once ***Anya*** became an adult, there was no further insight on her relationship with her mother. However, in the first chapter called Awakening (I), it is mentioned that her mother passed away early on.

Following up with the chapter, ***Anya*** is shown as a little girl in her balcony talking to her mother. As of now, this is the only chapter in which they are together. ***Anya*** questions her mother as to why her soulmate timer is different; fifty years away from meeting her soulmate. She also worries over missing them in a room full of people or walking past them, never knowing who they are. Her mother reassures her that meeting her soulmate will be worth the wait. She even tells ***Anya*** that she will *know* who they are by looking into their eyes. These words are paralleled in chapter Equivalent Exchange (I), when ***Anya*** locks eyes with her soulmate, Omega, for the first time. Her mother follows it up by saying the universe itself has bounded them. During Mind Over Matter, ***Anya*** repeats those same words words to her friend named Ivan, over their topic of soulmates.

## Anya's Sister

***Anya*** and her unnamed younger sister appeared to be close despite their six year difference in age. During Awakening (I), she is shown as a child while her sister is a baby. Anya's Mom states her sister is tired from playing with ***Anya*** for too long. Her sister soon grabs her finger then giggles at her as ***Anya*** promises to always keep her safe. Unfortunately, later on in the chapter when they are adults, it is shown that her sister has passed away. The cause being from an android malfunction. It is even hinted at that ***Anya*** was somehow involved when the incident happened, and believes it is her fault.

In This is Reality, it is confirmed that ***Anya*** was with her sister right before her passing through a nightmare she had. In it, a different version of her sister blames ***Anya***, stating it should have been *her* who died. Her sister grabs onto her arm, making ***Anya*** bleed red from the scratches. Her sister pulls her into the crib from their childhood that she was hiding in, submerging her in water. Instantly, ***Anya*** wakes up.

## Luka

Luka and Anya have a special relationship. Some fans believe it to almost be a mother and son-like relationship. They first met when Luka was a cancer patient at Union Medical Clinic twenty-five years before the war. In “Awakening” Anya notices a boy crying as he gets ill after his treatment. While comforting the young boy, Anya says [he is] “the bravest boy I’ve ever met” and goes on to say that he makes her and his family proud. Luka then asks her to stay as he is scared to which Anya agrees but only if he smiles for her.

Twenty-five years later during the war, in “The Outsider,” Anya’s is killed and then placed in a cell by Alexei. Luka is a soldier at this time and tells Alexei that Irina has a report for him. It is unclear if he recognizes Anya at this time, but he shows concern so it is likely. She does not seem too aware of his presence due to her emotional state and confusion.

## Irina

Anya's relationship with her older brother's lieutenant, Irina, is quite a tense and hostile relationship from the few interactions they have had. In Reunion, it's clear from the very beginning that Irina has a grudge against Anya and doesn't trust her, immediately pointing a gun to her head.

In a later episode, Confrontation, Irina is pinning Anya to a wall, holding a hand to her neck, and blaming her for why Alexei's plan didn't work. This still shows she doesn't entirely trust her even after 15 episodes. Later in Confrontation, Irina continues to confront Anya about how she feels about her. "Poor, little failure. You know, it's no wonder Alexei only ever mentioned having one dead sister".

## Galina

Anya first met Galina in “-...It stared back” when Ivan and Anya were having an argument. Galina is introduced to Anya by Ivan. When the trio encounters Omega and Anya offers herself in exchange for the androids attacks to stop, Galina states, “Are you insane? He will kill you.” They are interrupted after Omega agrees to the deal by the Wraiths.

Anya makes a difficult decision during the Wraith’s attack to kill a Wraith that hit Galina in the head. Anya kills the Wraith and therefore saves Galina’s life.

When Galina’s shield goes up in “The Killer” Anya stands in front of Galina’s gun and tells her not to kill Omega. In “Queen’s Gambit [I]” Ivan gets frustrated at Anya for defending Omega which then leads to him revealing that he knows Anya and Omega are soulmates. Galina is shocked by this and is confused by Anya.

Galina is angry that Ivan agreed to the deal to work together with Omega and says, “We’ve been fighting this guy and his twisted family for decades. He’s killed thousands!” Anya then is instructed by Ivan to take Galina away from the battle with the Wraiths.

## Anya's Dad

Anya and her dad’s relationship is still unknown. The one time he is shown is from a framed picture of her entire family, as seen in Awakening (I). Another insight is that her older brother, Alexei, has been taking care of him after a devastating turn of events in their family.
