1  Marriage? Conventional happiness? I got rid of those aspirations as well as my identity, the day I became a spy – Loid Forger

Twilight was a man who had devoted his life to the betterment of the world. As a spy, he had to abandon all the aspects that made a man’s life normal. He couldn’t even love or look for a life beyond bloodshed for the greater good.

2  You will never earn any medals or make it into the papers. Even so, never forget that everyone else’s day to day lives are possible because of your blood sweat and tears – Unknown

Twilight was a spy. Even though his work was highly important for the world to keep functioning in a peaceful way, he would never receive any credit for it. There was no selfish intent behind his actions. He just wanted to create a better world.

3  Do the parents of the world normally carry out such difficult missions all the time? – Loid Forger

Loid was a skilled spy and had honed almost all the skills necessary for deduction and combat but the very basic task of taking care of a child seemed like a tedious mission. He was baffled to understand the effort that actually went into raising a child.

4  No one reached their hand out to save me – Loid Forger

Loid understood Anya’s helpless cries because he was once in the same position as her. Even the mighty Twilight was once a little orphan who kept crying and crying for a helping hand that never decided to reach out.

5  My mistake was putting that little girl in danger to begin with – Loid Forger

Loid had always put his mission before anything else. He would never think twice to sacrifice any subjects involved to secure the mission. Yet he did not want to involve a child into his life of never ending blood baths.

6  To create a world where children won’t have to cry, that’s why I became a spy – Loid Forger

Loid wasn’t just a killing machine. He had a goal, to create a world where orphans like him wouldn’t have to scream out for help. He couldn’t risk a child’s life to complete a puny mission.

7  If you leave me behind, I’m going to cry – Anya Forger

Anya had suffered a lot. After being burdened with the powers of telepathy, she had been adopted and abandoned again and again by different families. This time she did not want to lose someone who had risked their life to save her.

8  Papa is a huge liar, but he’s a cool liar – Anya Forger

Anya loved Loid. Even though they had met a few hours back. Loid had treated Anya like a loved daughter. She knew everytime that he was lying, but she loved it that he tried to protect her with those little lies.

9  I’m honestly content as long as I get to keep this job- Yor Forger

Yor was a simple girl when she wasn’t out killing targets. She just wanted to have a normal job and a good partner that she could live her life with.

10  When it comes to homemaking, cleaning is the only thing I can do – Yor Forger

Yor was a nice lady but her line of work was messier than usual. The Thorn Princess was a cold blooded killer who had to be a master at cleaning up after countless murders. The only thing she could offer a houslehold was her cleaning.

11  This must be what normal looks like – Yor Forger

Yor had live a tough life. After losing her parents, she had to survive on her own while taking care of her younger brother. When she sees everyone interacting at her co workers’ party, she is mesmerized by the environment. An environment she always wanted but never had.

12  Be it for someone else, or for a specific reason, having to endure a merciless job, requires an incredible amount of dedication – Loid Forger

Loid understood Yor and her past. Even though he couldn’t guess that she was an assassin, he commended her diligence towards her family. As someone who had thrown his life away for the world. Loid defended Yor with utmost empathy.

13  This color is lovely, but I’m concerned that blood splatters would be too noticeable – Yor Forger

Yor was a great assassin, and a very sweet lady. When Loid takes her to the tailor to get a suiting outfit for the Interview, Yor was worried that if she chose any colors besides black and grey the blood splatters would be too noticeable.

14  Predicting every possible situation, preparing for it and acting from a carefully laid out plan. Those are the ironclad rules of being a spy – Loid Forger

Twilight was a man of many faces and his initial instinct was to take no risks whatsoever. It didn’t matter to him if he was infiltrating a terrorist organisation or preparing for a child’s school interview, Loid Forger would never leave anything to chance.

15  Thinking about how the work I do helps everyone in this city out encourages me to work harder – Yor Forger

Yor was a really sweet person. Even though she was an assassin she would only attack those who were dangerous and traitorous to the country. Be it work at the ministry or killing, Yor was proud of the work she used to do.

16  I guess receiving a thanks every once in a while wouldn’t hurt – Loid Forger

Loid was a spy who had known anonymity his entire life. He had saved the world a million times and still never received or desired any credit for it. When the old lady thanked her for stopping the burglar, Twilight actually realised the greater good he was working for.

17  Elegance is what makes this world a paradise – Housemaster Henry Henderson

Eden Academy was a school that was all about class and elegance and the Housemaster was the living embodiment of these values. The Housemaster made sure that no commoners were allowed in the school and only the truly elegant families were to be admitted.

18  Becoming exactly the person my target wants me to be is mere child’s play – Loid Forger

Twilight was a man of many faces, and as Loid Forger, it was easy for him to mould himself as the elegant aristocrat that the school was looking for. It was just another face for another one of his missions.

19  Children learn from their parent’s example – Housemaster Henry Henderson

Housemaster did not approve of Anya’s intelligence based on her test scores, but was baffled to see that her family was far more elegant than the top scorers. The housemaster believed that a child is only as good as the parent.

20  This isn’t about elegance anymore! These people are just scary! – Housemaster Henry Henderson

The housemaster was baffled by the Forgers being prepared for anyone and anything that was thrown their way. They were not just elegant, they were elegantly frightening.

21  Why are you getting irritated, Twilight? She’s not even your real wife! – Loid Forger

When one of the housemasters insults Yor about her not being a good wife, Loid gets all worked up. Even though she wasn’t his real wife, Loid was a man who had human emotions. Loid was conflicted but he did care about Yor or her image.

22  Spies don’t believe in anyone other than themselves – Loid Forger

Loid was a man who only believed in himself as a spy. But now he had to rely on his pretend family to decide his future. He was uneasy but their bond made him trust them a little bit in the end

23  If making light of a child’s feelings is part of your establishment’s education policies, then I’m afraid we’ve chosen the wrong school – Loid Forger

Loid was a man who would sacrifice anything for the sake of his mission. But he wouldn’t tolerate someone hurting his beloved daughter’s emotions. Loud was ready to swing at the housemaster who had made Anya cry, but collected himself and decided to walk away.

24  If all I can do is curry favor with the authorities, I have no right to call myself an educator – Housemaster Henry Henderson

Here we get to see that Housemaster Henry is not just about elegance but righteousness as well. He did not want to be the authority’s dog, but actually stood up to the headmaster’s son who had intentionally made an innocent child cry.

25  Anya doesn’t want to go to school anymore – Anya

The lady at the tailors’ warns the Forgers about the kidnappings and the bullying non-alumni’s children have to go through at Eden, which scares Anya into tears. No one would like to go to a place that puts their life at risk, but dangerous situations must be overcome for the sake of the mission.

26  You have the guts to give it to me so casually – Handler

Handler was pissed as it is about the expenses for renting a castle and the required furniture, when Loid decides to hand her the additional bill for admission expenses (and while she berates him too). The spies surely are learning how difficult it is to bring up a child healthily.

27  Well…I’ve been letting things unfold as they go lately, so…- Loid

Handler had full faith in the success of Operation Strix as Twilight was the one handling it, but Twilight was slowly coming to realize how unpredictable working with other people can be, and had decided to take decisions as the situations unfolded themselves.

28  In other words, you first have to raise your daughter to be an honors student. You may use any foul means necessary – Handler

When preventing a war that has the future of entire countries at stake, anything is fair, and that apparently includes making sure your daughter is among the top most students in the academy (i.e., according to Handler at least).

29  I know that we’re a fake family. But I wonder, how can I be more motherly to her. – Yor

Yor remembers Anya’s tears during the interview at Eden and watching the ladies interact with their children only fuels her desire to make sure that she can take care of Anya just like any other mother would, even though the forged Forgers came into being barely a month ago.

30  As long as I have some meat and vegetables, I’ll be able to make something. I don’t know what’s what, so I’ll just buy one of each – Yor

Yor was not very good at cooking, but she wanted to be a better mother for Anya, especially one who could cook for her. Loid was the one who usually cooked at home and despite having been told by him to get a takeout, Yor wanted to prepare the dinner by herself.

31  I’m that girl’s mother! Get out of here, unless you want to end up like that vegetable! – Yor

The kidnappers who kept asking for ransom to release Anya constantly referred to Yor as a nanny, which angered her to no extent. Yor deeply cherished Anya, and was ready to use her assassination skills to ensure the safety of her daughter.

32  I’m sorry…I shouldn’t have let you out of my sight! There, there. -Yor

Yor truly shows commendable parenting skills, because instead of scolding her child for running ahead, she made sure to console a terrified Anya who just went through a terrible experience (Mother of the year?).

33  I’ve wasted all this food…I’m such an awful mother -Yor

Yor was afraid that she might not be able to give Anya a proper upbringing. The food she had bought for their dinner had been wasted in the fight with the kidnappers, which severely upsetted her.

34  Anya likes her mother who’s strong and cool! There, there. – Anya

Children learn from their parents, and aptly so, Anya consoles her mother who felt disappointed in herself after letting all that food she bought go to waste.

Anya always thought that her parents were the coolest because of their professions. Not only this, they also took care of her needs and discomforts. These words meant a lot to Yor.

36  Even if I can’t be like a normal mother, I’ll do my best with everything I can do!- Yor

Anya had asked Yor to train her so she could survive the bullying and protect herself against the discrimination at Eden. Yor felt relieved in the trust her daughter placed on her, and made sure that she trained Anya and educated her on when to use those moves too.

37  It’s difficult to send them off, isn’t it? I understand – Yor

Loid was surprised to see the ‘treasure trove of information’ Anya’s classmates were, and looked visibly worried as he mentally wished Anya the best of luck. Yor, who did not know about the mission, believed that Loid was just concerned about his daughter’s well-being, so she tried her best to reassure him.

38  Those who wield power by letting their emotions get the better of them are not truly strong. You’ll be a cool lady if you can laugh off some light bullying – Yor

Yor made sure she imparted valuable life-skills to Anya while teaching her how to protect herself. While she was worried about Anya’s safety, she also wanted her to get along with her classmates, so she taught Anya that she must not let her annoyance override her self-control.

39  Mother’s a liar. Smiling isn’t working- Anya

Yor had also taught Anya that she should laugh off some light bullying, but that only increased the bullying. The kids also made fun of her parents, and one thing we have learned so far is that The Forgers always stand up for each other.

40  The right time to use your strength is, for example, when helping your friend out of trouble- Anya

Anya was already in trouble on her first day after punching Damian, but she remembered her mother’s wise words, which eventually helped in reducing the penalty she received, since nothing is more elegant than ‘standing up to the boys for the sake of your friends’

41  No, it’s too early to give up. The plan has only begun – Loid Forger

Setbacks are a part of the road to success, and a few of them should never hold you back from trying again. After all, yesterday’s mistakes are today’s lessons.

42  Anya’s sorry she sucks at school – Anya Forger

Anya understands that punching Damian and getting a Tonito on her very first day was not a good idea when world peace is at stake, and she apologizes to Loid for the same. School is not just about studying, it’s about getting an education.

43  There is no point to worrying about the past – Loid Forger

Hanging over what has already happened will not fix your problems. It only increases your guilt (and anxiety).

44  It’s more constructive to use my thoughts on future measures than to drag out a mistake – Loid Forger

One must use their time to come up with ways to solve the issue at hand, and focus on pulling oneself up by one’s bootstraps.

45  People are so shallow. They can only see what’s visible on the surface- Becky Blackbell

People often believe what they hear, or follow others blindly, without trying to ponder over the facts and reason with themselves for a second. Of course Becky isn’t the same (as expected from CEO Blackbell’s daughter).

46  I hope we can become better friends!- Becky Blackbell

Becky has genuinely cared about Anya ever since she found out that Anya punched Damian for stepping on Becky’s leg (a lie in good name). Anya is starting to see how much of a positive effect Becky’s support has on her.

47  If I don’t apologize to the second son, the peace will be disturbed!- Anya Forger

Tranquility must be maintained if one needs to have a quiet life and avoid any ruckus (or perhaps, an entire war). It’s difficult to have the fate of the world resting on your tiny, four year old shoulders.

48  But don’t worry! I’m on your side! I’ll protect you no matter what happens!- Becky Blackbell

Becky firmly believes that Anya should not apologize to Damian, since he was the one bullying her. And even though Anya is worried about the consequences of that punch, Becky assures her that she is always on Anya’s side.

49  Why is it that I’m at a loss for words whenever she’s in front of me?- Damian Desmond

It is safe to say that Damian was flabbergasted with Anya’s response to his mean remarks, since no one had treated him this way in his life. He was the treasured son of the chairman, so he wasn’t sure how to react in front of Anya anymore. The rose tinted vision (literally), wasn’t helping either.

50  To be honest, I don’t understand what she doesn’t understand- Loid Forger
