طوقُ الحمامةِ قلبُها التوَّاقُ".

it's "for the sake of my family".

This is in Twilight's head. These are his own thoughts that nobody else can hear. There's no reason for him to be playing a fake part in his own mind where there's nobody to convince of anything.

In Twilight's mind, in [REDACTED]'s mind, he is calling Yor (and by extension Anya) his family. Not Loid's family. Not "civilians." Not "Yor and Anya." That's his family.

"Don't get attached" doesn't even cross his mind anymore, because he's already too far gone. He's far past attached at this point.

His existential/identity crisis isn't just about his budding feelings for Yor that this arc is probably going to help him realize. It's not about how his need to sacrifice himself is going to affect Anya because "it's different, she's a kid, she doesn't know how quickly people can die".

It's the genuine love he's starting to feel for both of them.

It's realizing that for the first time since he was a little kid that he has a family.

It's always been Loid's family. It's always been about playing a part.

But now he's starting to realize he doesn't want to play that part anymore.
