Hello I read your theory and analysis of chapter 120 and I find it very relevant, however I find that you did not talk about a rather important moment in the chapter The one where yor decides to ask Anya to keep the secret as well as for her She does not consider herself a "Good girl" And that according to her, she is not a person who can lead a normal life I would like your opinion on this quote from yor

Thank you

Hello!

I had planned on writing an analysis of that panel later this week, but I decided to do it early. Here you go 😊

Thank you for your ask!!

Yor is NOT a Good Girl (Thankfully)

I really mean it, but put down those forks! Let me explain what being a good girl means, so you too can quit being a good girl 😎

If you are a woman, no matter your age, you've probably heard it at some point in your life: "Be a good girl and..." "You're such a good girl!" "Why can't you be a good girl?" "Good girls don't..."

Let me tell you a little secret: Being a good girl is a way to control women.

There, I said it. Look me in the eyes and tell me that's not true. Whenever someone said that, it was because they wanted to make you behave a certain way or to prevent you from doing something or to mold you into something. Am I right?

"A good girl" is nothing more than a stereotype of a woman that is "good" because she behaves a in a way that benefits others but often hurts herself. A good girl often endures abuse, violence, bullying, and neglect in silence because "good girls" are not "good" if they complain or speak up. It's a way of teaching young women not to bother others even when they are uncomfortable or in distress.

The worst part is that this stereotype comes not only from people who raise women, but also from media, especially in older decades (think about all the dramas Becky watches.)

That being said, let's go back to Yor. She hears this "good girl" thing from Anya, who has probably heard it more than a few times at school 🤨

Let's analyze this panel:

It actually has a double meaning.

The first one is pretty obvious and exactly what she's thinking: Because of her assassin job, she cannot live a "normal" life. That one is crystal clear (and kind of funny that her husband thinks exactly the same thing 🤭)

The second one is a little more complicated and it has everything to do with that "good girl" stereotype I talked about a few paragraphs ago. She's right, she's not a good girl because she does not fit in that awful role imposed by a society that wants to control women. Yor is not a good girl, she's a strong woman and a protector. That's who she really is and how she feels most comfortable. And that's exactly what Twilight loves about her! It's not a surprise that in the last panel of this chapter, after finally admitting she's in love, she even mentions it:

She wants to protect her home!! And we see the silhouettes of the people she loves: Loid, Anya, Bond, and HERSELF! Because the home is not complete without her 🤧 A "good girl" would have removed herself from the equation but she didn't and what an amazing thing that is for all of us women. Don't you think?

*Big sigh* So, yeah, Yor is not a good girl and neither should you.

I have a feeling that it could be in the route of The Last days of operation strix.....

Hey Cat-anime! Nice to see you around during this fantastic chapter 😊

To answer your question, even though I would love for canon to go that route, I doubt it. Canon SxF's universe if bigger and has many more characters, even new characters that hadn't showed up when I wrote that fic. Also, Last Days of Operation Strix focuses mainly on Twilight and Yor's relationship and it's at its core a love story. Canon has many other elements that I suspect will be extremely important, like Eden.

However, there are elements from Last Days of Operation Strix that canon may actually share. For example, I think the [Redacted] theory is still pretty much on. The thing with Twilight's dad being you know who 😉(sorry, but I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't read the fic) may happen as well. And also, at some point, Anya will probably get kidnapped by those awful scientists.

So, as you can see, it may not play exactly like the fic, but it may end up having some similarities. Either way, I'm excited to see what Endo has in store for us 😎

(For those who have no clue what we're talking about, you can read that fic here on ao3 😊)

Thank you for this lovely ask! I'm so happy people still cherish that story 💖

That may well be a sensible move...

Spoiler warning ahead: I’ve noticed that many people seem to feel a disconnect with Twilight, especially because of his seemingly polite indifference toward Yor and her feelings. In the latest chapter, some interpreted that he’s considering replacing her with Fiona… but honestly, I’d like to offer a different perspective:

From the very beginning of the chapter, we see something unusual: Twilight can’t focus — not even on Handler’s orders. This is significant because, although he’s always been under pressure from Operation Strix, we’ve never seen him lose his composure like this.

Sylvia notices it immediately: Twilight is mentally somewhere else entirely.

It’s interesting how many people took his earlier reaction as indifference or a polite rejection of Yor… when in reality, Twilight isn’t even fully processing what Yor is trying to tell him. He doesn’t realize she’s sending subtle signals — that she wants their marriage to be real, that there are feelings involved. He just doesn’t get it.

This connects back to the "honey trap" moment, when Twilight hastily (but accurately) assumed that Yor was romantically jealous of him and — absurdly — tried to seduce her while she was drunk, only to receive a (well-deserved) punch.

Clearly, his spy logic was flawed and poorly executed, and that’s why he ended up being punished — because he was actively about to manipulate Yor’s emotions.

Back then, yes, Yor was feeling jealous, but she was also struggling with trust and self-worth — with her role as a fake wife, a mother, a woman, and her value within the household. Twilight was honest with her when he talked about his mother, and he also gave her the validation and support she desperately needed at that time.

But this time… things are not so simple.

Now, Yor is fully aware of her feelings — and her selfish desires — so any "right" answer Twilight might give her feels just as dissatisfying as Yor expect.

And I dare say that, between the two of them, Twilight is the one who’s been most affected by that conversation.

While Yor is —painfully, yes— reaching a certain clarity about her feelings, Twilight is spiraling into a pit of confusion and anxiety he doesn’t know how to escape.

Because yes, Yor is affected. She feels insecure, a bit frustrated, and she believes she doesn’t deserve to be loved in return. But she knows what she feels. She can name it, even admit it in front of her daughter. That gives her a certain kind of freedom — even if she has to keep it hidden.

Twilight no.

Twilight only feels that something is wrong, and his mind keeps alerting him that something is missing. That he said the right things, that the agreement is still in place... and yet, nothing feels right. Nothing feels clear. Everything has turned into internal chaos because Yor seems slightly distant.

And it’s precisely in this vulnerable state that Fiona pulls her classic move: “What if I became your new wife now?”

And the surprising part is… Twilight seems to accept.

This just confirms that Fiona is more attached to the idea of winning Twilight as a challenge than out of genuine love. The moment she gets what she wants, she’s both terrified and relieved that it didn’t actually happen.

But no — It’s not that he wants to replace Yor. The truth is, Twilight is suffering from mental fog.

He’s running on autopilot, and his mind is desperately asking for a break.

Even Fiona is thrown off. She clearly expected the usual script: he politely rejects her, and she silently repeats, “Someday, I’ll be your wife.” But no. Twilight responds with a soft, “Oh… well, yes…”

At that point, Fiona could have said:

"I’m going to parachute into a pack of grizzly bears — wanna come along and take a break from Strix?" And Twilight would’ve replied: “Oh, yeah… sounds like a good idea.”

In fact, the other agent present notices everything — that Twilight, like any man, is clearly being affected by being married.At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if Sylvia and he end up connecting the dots: Twilight is emotionally involved… more than he himself can see (if they haven’t already figured it out).

Because in any other scenario, Twilight would have rejected Nightfall like always — he’s not interested in replacing Yor.

She’s the one who’s truly thrown him off, who has awakened something real. He’s defended her as his wife more times than even Fiona can tolerate.

But now, he’s simply… overwhelmed. He doesn’t know what he’s supposed to do, what Yor expects from him, what’s expected of his role, or even what he should feel.

And his defense mechanism is keeping him trapped in fear, anxiety, and exhaustion.

Because according to him, every problem stems from ignorance. If he doesn’t understand what’s happening to him, then it must be because he still doesn’t know enough. What he doesn’t realize is that, this time, logic doesn’t hold the answer.

And maybe — just maybe — this is the beginning of his true emotional growth. Whether it leads to healing… or to completely falling apart.

Spy x Family Ch. 120: At Long Last!!

As many of you, I'm over the moon Yor finally admitted she has feelings for Loid. Everything since the chapter in which she went drinking with the office girls to the last chapter when she had a date with Loid had slowly but surely pointed out that Yor has fallen in love with Loid and I am so glad Endo decided to pull the trigger on that 😌

Remember the fake and the real twiyor moment? On my past analysis, I told you the fake moment happened when they held hands. I wasn't sure whether we would get a real twiyor moment, but we did. It's this one:

This means that Yor carries Loid in her heart 😌

In case you missed the post about Fake Twiyor Moment and Real Twiyor Moment, let me catch you up: a fake moment usually happens for appearances and it's what a "normal" couple should do, like holding hands. A real twiyor moment is perhaps non-traditional but it's something that brings them closer together (you can see other examples of this here.) As you can see, this moment, even though Loid isn't even in the same room, brought them closer together.

Now, where do we go from here?

It's a huge advancement for Yor's character to finally acknowledge her feelings for Loid. And not only that, she also knows perfectly well that these are romantic feelings *giggles*

Here, Anya tries to understand what her mama means by comparison hehe. By the way, what a beautiful thing was to see that Yor is able to talk sincerely about her feelings with Anya. It's a reflection of their mother-daughter relationship; these two are really close.

Yor knows she has romantic feelings for Loid, she understand that it's different from the love Anya feels for her papa, which is fantastic. She's being completely honest with herself!!

However, as of right now, Yor doesn't plan on acting on her feelings and that's okay. It's still brand new and she still has some growing to do before she finally gets that welcome home kiss 😊

In my opinion, it's a good thing that she's taking things slowly because her husband is not ready for any of that yet. (Let's face it, the man is at flight risk 😂)

Here's what I think it's going to happen:

I fully expect Yor to act flustered around Loid and think about him and her feelings A LOT. She will struggle a lot with this because she'll probably want to respect Loid's boundaries because she thinks he doesn't see her like a possible true romantic partner. HOWEVER...

Twilight is already distracted by her behavior and after this chapter we know that he will get closer to Yor to try to get to know her better in an attempt to keep her in the marriage "for the mission" 😆

Although he denies it, he already has feelings for her and spending more time with her is only going to make those feelings grow stronger. Same applies for Yor.

It's very logical: what happens when you spend a lot of time with someone you are in love with? You fall deeper in love.

Theory Time!

At some point, I think Yor, after spending a lot of time with her husband, will feel more confident and may think that she has a chance with Loid. If this happens, my theory is that she will confess and maybe even kiss him. This is pure speculation, but it makes sense for her character arc.

As for Twilight, I fully expect him to remain in complete denial until the day his wife finally confesses and kisses him. Don't get me wrong, we'll probably see plenty of signs of him being in love but he won't be able to see it.

This could potentially become dangerous for the relationship because once Twilight realizes it, it's going to hit him hard. We're talking about a guy who constantly tells himself he should not feel anything because he's nothing but a tool to achieve peace.

I suspect (and again, remember this is still pure speculation) that when Yor finally tells Loid that she loves him, he is going to reject her, precisely because he's in love with her.

Think about it. The first time he thought she had feelings for him, his immediate reaction was to set a honey trap. I believe he felt attracted to her, but he also wanted to use her and take advantage of her feelings. So, when this happens again, and he knows for sure she does love him, his own feelings will prevent him from using her...because he loves her!!

But it's still going to take a long time for that to happen (probably closer to the climax of the story) So, for now, let's just enjoy this amazing chapter 😊
