Loid Forger, one of the protagonists of the Spy x Family manga series, is best known for being one of the most determined and focused individuals in the series. As the world’s greatest spy, Agent Twilight has worked tirelessly to overcome his weaknesses. Yet, the series has hinted in many chapters that Loid’s wife may be becoming his weak point.

As the manga has progressed, it becomes clearer that Yor found a way to sneak into Loid’s heart. The more time he spends with her, the more his defenses begin to come down. Nonetheless, this may not be a bad thing for Agent Twilight, as Yor has given him something he had been missing for many years.

Loid Has Begun To Drop His Defenses When Around Yor

His Wife Has Given Him The Security To Be Vulnerable

In chapter #62 of Spy x Family, it was revealed that Loid’s friends and family died during the war between Ostania and Westalis. This traumatic loss is what pushed him to try and become the world’s greatest spy, in an attempt to prevent children from suffering the way he did. His desire to create a better world led him to sacrifice many things, from his former identity to his emotions. After becoming an agent of W.I.S.E., Twilight renounced any semblance of a normal life, staying distant from anyone trying to form a connection with him.

Still, once he was forced to create a fake family, as was required for Operation Strix, his plans of staying stoic and alone crumbled before his eyes. Despite how much Anya’s father tries to refute it, he is slowly but surely beginning to see his wife, daughter, and even dog, as more than just assets for him to use. Many times in the series, fans have witnessed Loid going against his usual behavior all because of his family. This trend seems to occur around Yor more often than with the others.

For example, in chapter #30, when Fionna Frost visited the Forger household for the first time, she noticed that Twilight’s smile when talking to Yor was not fake. Agent Nightfall had familiarized herself with Loid’s acting skills, and she realized that his happiness when around his wife was becoming genuine. Another great example of Loid becoming more vulnerable around Yor appears in chapter #86. After his arduous battle against the Secret Police and W.I.S.E.’s mole, the mere sight of her smile instantly made his body relax, causing him to fall to the floor exhausted.

As the Spy x Family manga advances, the love and care felt among the of the Forger family has increased significantly. Despite how tiring it can be for Loid to lead a double life, spending time with his family has genuinely helped him get rid of the stress being one of anime's best spies puts on him. Due to her nurturing nature, Yor has become a person whom Loid and Anya can trust to protect and care for them. Yor has become the glue that keeps the Forgers together.

The Spy x Family manga series has often emphasized the importance of family and friendship. Yor is one of the best examples of why having a caring and nurturing individual in one’s life is so important. The Thorn Princess may not be perfect, but she is just what Loid and Anya needed to obtain the happy life that they always desired.
