"Why scientists?" he added perplex
"Anime"
"Ha??"
"Anya watches anime with spies"
"Ah, let me guess this anime says that they are the bad guys, right?" he added
"Yep, and Anya agrees. If they were not bad scientists, there would no weapon, no harm, no orphans, no wars" she added hugging her pinguin tightly as she gently smiled.
"Only peanuts" she added.
"That desire of protecting", he thought as he was thinking about his grandpa's words.
"Incredible, I wasn't that selfless at your age" he thought again.
"Like that Anya will be loved and acclaimed by everyone" she added as she put her sunglasses all proud, thinking about a little annoying creatures called "Damian and his speers".
"And that's when Syeon boy would have no choice but to respect Anya" she added smiling with all her theeths.
"Oh, so you want to get noticed by your crush at school?"
"No way, Anya absolutely hates him" she responded shaking her head left to right in the most robotic stoicly cold way.
"But you know you don't need to be loved by everyone, you are already loved by your parents" he said
"If Anya gets a stellar papa will love Anya for real and more, papa won't get ride of Anya for sure", she added all seriouse and ambitious as she was staring into Yuji's eyes.
"You mean proud?"
"Yes, like that papa, mama and Anya will remain together forever" she said as she confidently twirled and danced all around the room, thinking of a bright future with the three of them.
"I mean.... I know that he got married to Yor as a cover to put his daughter into that school to get to that Desmond guy, but I don't think that he would use her in such a heartless way. He wouldn't throw her back into an orphanage, would he?"
"I believe in you Anya, you'll be the strongest and the best spy the world has known"
Those words hyped little pinky head's soul, coming from someone she thought was a new recruit in her Loid's spy agency, her chest plus shoulders was filled with some kind of super power that almost made her jump.
Hellas that excitement was joined with a feeling of terror after trying to read more into Yuji's mind.
He noticed it.
"Are you okay? Something's wrong?" he asked intrigued.
"No, Anya is just..." she said after thinking "Too exited" she added smiling as if she was apologizing.
"Well, that's something to be excited about, isn't it?" he responded with enthusiasm, his big smile warmed Anya's mood, and made her feel happy and somehow safe. A sense of safety that Yuji figured was needed.
"This little girl, she was able to connect with my cursed energy, hmmmm, interesting" he thought as he was staring at her play with her stuffed animals
"You seem so lonely" he thought again, and surprisingly Anya couldn't hear anything, she was just so focused on playing spies with that young man who made her feel safe for a moment, he made her forget about whatever mission Loid had to take on again.
