"I need to hide my mind reading"

The whole reason he didn't want to dance with her was because he was too nervous to hold her hand 🥺

Spy x Family Ch 96 spoilers

Seeing people complain about Anya telling Damian that she can read minds before Loid/Yor is so mind boggling to me. Because even if we ignore the fact that Anya is scared of being abandoned by Loid and Yor if she tells them the truth, or the fact that Damian is someone her age/a peer, and it's common for kids to feel like it's easier to tell things to their peers then to their parents... even if we ignore all that, it was ALWAYS going to Damian. I feel like Endo has been hinting that for a long time. It's a recurring theme/gag that Damian questions if Anya can read minds... and I feel like Endo has also been building up the fact that Anya and Damian actually are in pretty similar situations... they both want to impress their father/make their father proud.

LIKE THIS PANEL... Anya isn't mind reading here. There are no sparkles around her head. She didnt need to mind read! She KNOWS that Damian loves his father!

And there have been many moments in which she seems to show some reflection/thought after hearing Damians thoughts about his father (like during the dodge ball game, or her apologizing when they were making their paper animals)

ALSO THIS SCENE...

Here Anya literally says she doesn't even know if Loid likes her, because he's so hard to understand. But she loves him, and believes in him. Isn't that EXACTLY what Damian is going through right now?

Perhaps people didn't completely register all these small moments bc of the gag/jokey vibe Damian and Anya moments have, but I feel like it's ALWAYS been there that Anya maybe relates to Damian in this way, which is why she has her moments where she tries to be kind to him.

Also I want to point out that, in a LOT of pivotal moments, Endo DOESNT tell us what Anya is thinking. Instead we have to guess or theorize... and we know that when Anya is doing a sobered up/serious expression, we should definitely pay attention. (Some random panels below to show u what I mean).

And in this panel, I feel like Endo is doing something similar... I mean look at Anya's expression!

So I feel like in this moment, where Damian is being honest, and kind, and true to himself-- it makes Anya want to be truthful too. And I don't think it came out of nowhere. I mean I was surprised LOL but I never thought it didn't make sense for this to happen.

I think people forget that Anya is probably the character we know the least about, and that a lot of her more "serious" thoughts are usually kept from us, but that doesn't mean she's not... thinking serious things lol!!

Anyway this was a long rant and idek if it made sense but if you got this far thanks for reading lol

A TWO PAGE SPREAD GUYS

Anya FELT COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO TELL DAMIAN WHAT SHE WAS AFRAID TO TELL ANYONE ELSE SHE FELT SHE COULD TRUST HIM BECAUSE HES NOT SUPERFICIAL HE HAS FEELINGS HES JUST A BOY WHO WANTS TO HAVE A PROPER FAMILY DYNAMIC!!!!!! HES JUST A BOY!!!!!

[marisakage]

I love this, because it shows that Anya really does know and care about Damian more than all those other little girls. She's his friend and she understands him (sometimes).

And this sweet and honest moment from him is SOOOOO CUUUUTE!!!! It shows that he cares for her too!!

MY HEART IS MELTING, SOMEONE HELP!!!!

The blushing…

The arm crossing…

The eye aversion…

The game excuse…

The repeated denials…

Oh, Damian—

You got it bad 😏😌

[marisakage]

All the times Damian managed catch Anya off guard with his selflessness and kindness...

HAS BEEN LEADING UP TO THIS MOMENT!

I'M WEAK!!!

[marisakage]

How it started

How it's going

[marisakage]

We all know when these scenes are animated, the Animators are gonna GO OFF!

And I am looking forward to it!

I've seen some readers questioning Endo's decision of making Anya confess her abilities to Damian when there's Becky, Loid and Yor. But hold it, it actually does make a LOT of sense.

I think most of us missed how much relatable Damian is to Anya. She sees through his loneliness and it reminds her of when she was alone and wishing for a happy family. And there's this other huge factor - for both of them, their main motivators in life are their fathers.

During the 96th chapter, you can see Anya having a wishful face when she says Papa is Damian's favorite person. And Damian's vulnerable admission about her family put the final nail in Anya's perception. At that moment she felt like Damian would understand her and accept her no matter what and it was an amazing and the best subtle build-up ever.

Endo, you are amazing 👏
