Unanticipated approach

Accomplished mission

Taking the resemblance of Anya's two new classmates and where she's siding with, the respective parallel portrayal of Anya, Freddy, Tertius, and the fake mole would be Nightfall, Twilight, Wheeler, and WISE's compromised document.

Posed intimidation

Bonus: Damian portraying Yuri's parallel

The excluded participant

Note: While some may struck with the thought where the issue that took centre in both parts of Mission 112 had lacked of intensity or seriousness, rereading the said chapter in close reference to Mission 84 and Mission 85 may offer a refreshing perspective in the context of the featured clashes in Wheeler arc.

Full-fledged offence

Right after Damian's first attempt of starting a conversation with Donovan at the beginning of the chapter, Demetrius can be seen consuming his dinner in a rather continuous flow to the point where his speed eventually led to finishing most of his dishes first as compared to his family members.

While Demetrius can be seen as nonchalant towards the rare family dinner to the point of aiming to conclude it as soon as possible, his course of action had eventually gave way to a sliver of alone time between Donovan and Damian, right after Melinda similarly taking the cue to leave the table, in which had enabled Donovan to directly address Damian, despite only through short comments that thus strucked a sense of deep satisfaction in the latter.

Another instance taken from the past (Mission 37) would be the brief phone conversation between Demetrius and Damian, where upon the latter's request of meeting up with their father after the Imperial Scholars mixer, Demetrius had spoken up the possibility of Donovan not making it due to his busy nature in avoiding Damian from getting his hopes too high up. And despite the rather formal-like exchange between the two, Demetrius still left a space for Damian in case he needed to ask anything more before hanging up.

Note: Viewing things from the outer perspective of a situation would always grant the viewer with the ability of making effortless judgements, where most would be able to tell if one is better or worse than the other in an almost mirroring scenario, unconsciously leading them to assume which of the two is the "more correct" version and thus, adapting and expecting the said ideal to be a part of the majority's norm or standards.

Portrayal of the East, Yuri Briar

Bearing the sole purpose of meeting Yor upon hearing the news of her marriage, Yuri had only brought along a bouquet of flowers as a gift specifically for her despite being his first visit to the family residence.

Portrayal of the West, Fiona Frost (Nightfall)

Reasoning her visit with the need to access Operation Strix's progress, Nightfall made the move of visiting the residence as Fiona Frost to return Anya's magnifying glass. Similar to the representation of admiration through Yuri's flower bouquet gift, the magnifying glass may hint on Nightfall's scrutinising intent on the Forgers.

The point of intercept

Taking a more detailed look into the almost mirroring scenes featuring Yuri and Nightfall from the residental building's perspective, their taken paths were directly opposite to one another. In Yuri's scene, the residental building was located on his left side when he arrived, where as in Nightfall's scene, the residental building was located on her left when she departed.

From the perspective of the Forgers' residence, Yuri's path was on the right side of the building while Nightfall's path was on its opposing left side. Viewing these points as the cardinal directions of the compass, Yuri's path involved the Eastern direction while Nightfall's path was mainly on the Western direction, making them the respective symbolism of Ostania and Westalis.

With the absence of interactions between Yuri and Nightfall (up to the current timeline of Mission 113), their common point of intercept had been the Forgers' residence, making the said location akin to the front line of the cold war, replicating the underlying tense nature of Berlint.

Note: While interactions are anticipated, the eventual intercept between Yuri and Nightfall will only be brought to the surface by the author to relay a new depth into the storyline.

The first joint project came from the random assignment in the arts and crafts class that grouped Damian and Anya together. While Anya's intention to help Damian with his model Griffin went astray, her contributed piece had led to a moving interpretation that earned the project the first prize.

Damian's cardboard manifestation of the Paradise Fist seemed to serve as a reminder to the 3D model project that involved similar arts and crafts materials. And while those who caught sight of it had criticised and scrutinised upon the crafted fist, Anya had been the only one who shared the same epic sentiment behind it through plain excitement.

Note: Where most would view Anya's excitement on Damian's manifested Paradise Fist as purely out of its "strangeness", this alone served as another connection to their similar line of imaginations. But alas, most had failed to catch on to such depth of their dynamic despite being hinted on.

The Kanji for the name Orchid, 蘭 (らん, ran) was composed of individual characters for "door", 門 (もん, mon) and "East", 東 (ひがし, higashi).

In the language of flowers, Orchids generally symbolise "refined beauty" regardless of its colour. Conveying the said meaning alongside the white symbolism of "innocence", Yuri had presented the bouquet to Yor on his first visit to the Forgers' residence.

The emphasis on the term "pretty", or きれい (kirei) in Japanese manga translation, was brought up by Yor upon Nightfall's visit. Through the perspective of the chapter being a part of Volume 5, the Orchid bouquet featured in the cover may also indicate Nightfall all due to Yor's first impression on her and having the flower colour close to her hair shade.

Outer Cover

Arranging both covers in the traditional Japanese tategaki (縦書き) format (from right to left), the clear-cut white space that existed between the two subsequently released volumes could be joined and viewed as a completed piece. A shared portrayal showcased by Yuri and Nightfall would be the single-lifted right leg sitting posture. While that, the title design used across both covers had the exact same alignment.

Starting Illustration

Both illustrations had emphasised Yuri and Nightfall's motivations, with the respective image of Yuri spending time with Yor as well as a focus on Twilight from Nightfall's side.

Inside Cover

Replicating the outer cover into the context of their internal goals, both inside covers could be similarly viewed as a joint piece due to the maintained positions of the characters involved, with an additional detail on the inclusion of a divorce certificate from Yuri's side and a marriage certificate from Nightfall's side. Out of the other volumes' inside covers, only volume 5 and 6 had their versions styled in the form of a thought bubble.

Ending Cover

As part of the remarkable sides of both Yuri and Nightfall, the extra ending cover for their volumes had highlighted their main thought process and referring back to the starting illustration, the intent had been directed towards Yor and Twilight respectively.

Note: Having Nightfall's debut (Mission 29) and introduction (Mission 30) featured in Yuri's volume instead of her own had offered a perspective of seeing the connection of similarities included in both volumes' content.

The assumptions taken in the volume order direction (tategaki) and volume covers combination had been based on the author's release updates for volume 9, volume 11, and volume 15.
