A sign of it is dreaming about the past that was forgotten. I know this is a storytelling tool, but this is actually how it happens irl too. It means your subconscious is ready to process what was suppressed.

This happens when the body feels safe enough to begin healing.

So why now?…

Because of Yor and Anya. In this case, they’re next to him after he wakes up from a nightmare, symbolically and literally creating a sense of safety, a safe space. He feels safe with them in “Loid’s house.” Even if he doesn’t realize it, his body does.

This is also why he collapses when he returns home and sees Yor.

And Anya gives him comfort with a headpat (physical affection) when he wakes up from the nightmare. Real comfort, telling him that he has nothing to be afraid of. He’s safe.

His heart, his home, his safe space, held by two people.

He’s been panicking for two whole chapters. He’s surrounded by SSS. He's running out of ideas. He knows if they catch him, they’ll either torture or kill him. There’s a long con mission riding on him getting out safely. Of course he’s stressed and willing to do anything possible to get out of that party.

Why is potentially tranquillising someone his biggest sin? HE’S AN ACTUAL SPY PEOPLE. He has a body count!!! He’s not some squeaky-clean law-abiding citizen. Tranquillising someone is not out of the realm and would honestly be pretty tame on the list of Twilight’s crimes. It's also not being painted as the heroic thing to do here anyway. It's a desperate act. So the outrage seems disproportionate to me. Like, that man is a spy. He is not thinking straight. He is not normal. He never has been...

Also, it’s a comedy. What about that setup and Endo as the author tells you it’ll be played straight? Tranq probably wouldn’t even work on Yor since she has a strong immunity to poisons and sedatives. Plus, Twilight is not getting off scot-free. This chapter is literally him suffering the consequences of bugging and interrogating Yor disguised as the SSS agent earlier in the story. He is well acquainted with karma by now.

AND he has chronic gut issues.

Anyway, this is my favourite panel from the chapter. Look at him. Pathetic loser.
