Summary

Over breakfast, Loid takes stock of Operation Strix: Anya is enrolled at Eden Academy, but the punch she landed on Damian Desmond has sunk the Friendship Scheme before it started. Refusing to fold, he sends her off with instructions to make amends. At school, classmates keep a wary distance from the girl who struck the Desmond heir, while Damian privately marvels that no one, not even his own brother, has ever defied him. Becky Blackbell, oblivious to the stakes, appoints herself Anya's protector and repeatedly drags her away from apology attempts.

Convinced the mission needs a push, Loid infiltrates the campus dressed as a janitor and starts engineering contrition from the sidelines: a mirror flashes a coded message during outdoor science class, a storybook is doctored so its hero apologizes, hedges are trimmed to spell out the word sorry, and Anya's omelet rice arrives with the same message written in ketchup. A fake intercom summons finally pulls Becky off the field. Face to face with Damian at last, Anya reads the cruel insults forming in his friends' minds and breaks into genuine tears as she apologizes. The display hits Damian harder than the punch did; flushed and rattled by feelings he refuses to name, he bolts while shouting that she will never be forgiven, leaving the watching Loid to conclude that Plan B is dead.

At home, a pivot to academics goes nowhere. Loid's rapid-fire thoughts overwhelm Anya's telepathy, Yor's division analogy involves carving up bodies, and the frustrated girl storms off to her room. Talking it over, Yor recalls how her brother Yuri thrived on her praise whenever they studied together, handing Loid a gentler model to work from. Bringing a peace offering to Anya's door, he discovers her asleep over her textbooks after trying to study alone, and the sight moves him to tuck her in and record her spy show. A post-credits scene delivers the sting: Dominic congratulates Yuri on his sister's marriage, news the fiercely devoted brother is hearing for the very first time.

Notes

The English localization renders Anya's nickname for Damian as "Second Son" where the manga uses "Sy-on Boy." The metal nameplate on her door still misspells her name as "Ania," where the manga used carved wood.

Anime-original material includes the opening breakfast scene of Loid reviewing the mission (complete with a ketchup mishap he quietly takes on himself), a shot of Anya recalling her Episode 5 promise to work hard, and a background cameo by George Glooman, who does not debut in the manga until Chapter 28. Some of the boys' mental insults are toned down, and a gag of Anya turning into a tanuki is added over them.
