Chapter 80

Yor wakes mortified over her drunken behavior with Loid the night before and cannot face the family. Once Anya leaves for a zoo playdate with Becky and Martha, Loid gently probes whether Yor drank out of unhappiness with their home life. Yor, convinced he is scolding her for oversleeping, decides she ought to produce a complaint of her own and vaguely announces that everything about their life together dissatisfies her. Yuri chooses that exact moment to burst through the door, hears the declaration, and demands a divorce on his sister's behalf, which Yor flatly refuses.

Loid tries to pin down when the grievance began, briefly panicking that her coworkers may have exposed his true identity, and apologizes under Yuri's pressure, though the tangle of misread intentions only deepens. A phone call from the hospital cuts the standoff short: a coded emergency summons pulls Loid away, and Yor, borrowing one of Sharon's stock complaints, gripes about him abandoning the family for his job. Suspicious of the abrupt exit, Yuri drags Yor into tailing her husband, lecturing her on stealth basics she knows far better than he does, while Loid clocks the siblings instantly. Yuri peels off when the Lieutenant signals an SSS emergency, and Yor, watching Loid enter the hospital as her buzz fades, concludes he is not cheating and heads home, deciding grievances are not worth keeping.

Inside, Fiona briefs Loid on an "extreme level 3 situation." A mole discovered at WISE headquarters has gone underground with stolen secrets, among them a coded map of the agency's operational zones in Ostania, Operation Strix among them. At the same time, the SSS chief orders Yuri's division to help secure an agent returning from Westalis once he crosses the border and to keep the pursuing WISE from interfering.

A chain of misunderstandings leaves Yor publicly claiming dissatisfaction with the marriage while Loid scrambles to identify a grievance that never existed. Yuri learns of the supposed rift and urges divorce, but Yor shuts him down and tells him to stay out of the couple's affairs.

WISE discovers that a traitor has stolen documents exposing its agents' zones of activity in Ostania, putting Operation Strix at risk, while the SSS mobilizes to receive the defector at the border. The chapter sets the Wheeler Arc's central conflict in motion.

The chapter reveals the existence of a WISE mole preparing to hand the agency's Ostanian footprint to the SSS. Chloe, a female officer in Yuri's unit, makes her debut, and Yuri's shoulder injury from the truck accident in Chapter 73 receives a follow-up mention, with Yuri insisting it has already healed.
