Hi guys! I should be doing work right now but of course I'm going to talk about something that I've noticed throughout the course of the series and obsess over spy x family instead of doing said work. Yay!

No spoilers for the newest chapter, but spoilers for anime only watchers!

So, we all know about melinda saying that desmond was >!an alien!< back in chapter 110 I believe. Now, I'm not sure if this is quite true, but I find it VERY interesting that there are recurring mentions of stars and space in the series. Mentions include

• Stellas and the entire mission being based on obtaining them
• Damian, Emile and Ewen going on the field trip with Mr Green to see the Stella Lake
  • Interestingly, this is when Ewen first says that he wants to be an astronaut in the future. There is later a chapter specifically on this and I found it intriguing that such a minor detail has been mentioned multiple times.
  • Ewen mentions "wow, the universe is huge" in this chapter.
• That later chapter about ewen and anya bonding over space travel
• Anyas power being centered on the moon and affected by its phases.

I'm not sure if this means what melinda says is true... but I do think that we're going to get to see a LOT more of space in this series.

Hi! I have a brief but imo quite plausible theory about Donovan and Anya’s past after reading 139.2 and relevant discussion threads.

As we see in the chapter, Donovan has a deep desire to understand people and their thoughts. This could be because he’s a politician, but I think it could potentially also stem from being a father. Melinda said it was then that Donovan started to change, and I think that maybe Donovan felt frustrated he couldn’t understand his children. This would then connect to his conversation with Loid in Ch. 38!!!

I think that (now this is not anything revolutionary) Donovan funded research into mind reading for both political/military and personal reasons. Hence, the page in the new chapter referencing Desmond’s research and “…Nia” (of course this could also be talking about ostania, or perhaps Anya’s name derives from that… but I digress)

Next: once they gave anya powers, I think that Donovan tried to do the same procedure on himself. Hence, we see that he has scars in the roughly-same spot as Anya’s headgear. My assumption is that the procedure failed, or at least wasn’t completely successful, leading to the personality change Melinda noticed.

Thoughts?

…Is this a really basic theory. If so, my bad
