Spy x Family is not even halfway done with its first season, but even still, the anime has become the one to beat this year. The Forger family has made fans with netizens all over the world, after all. Loid and his precious clan are enough to make anyone smitten. But over in the manga, well – fans are at a low after learning about one of Twilight's most painful moments growing up.

If you are caught up with the manga, you will know Spy x Family has been busy exploring Twilight's past as a child. The flashback sequence has given fans an understanding of the war between East and West as it was. Of course, it followed Twilight as he was forced into hiding with his family and watched those closest to him die. But of course, the flashback's final phase took that angst to the next level.

After all, the chapter revealed more about Twilight's time in the army, and it was there our hero was gifted something unexpected. The man found himself reuniting with his three childhood friends who he believed died during the assault on his hometown years ago. For years, Twilight kept that grief bottled inside, and he blamed himself for their deaths. So of course, it was reassuring to see Twilight reunite with his friends.

Well, until it all came crashing down that is. After being reunited with his estranged friends, Twilight lost them for real in an instant. The three were killed in action after their mission was botched due to poor intelligence. The troops went in underprepared, and that bad intel cost Twilight's his friends for real. That is why the soldier came around to spy work so easily, and given Twilight's record, we are sure he's saved many friends from a sad fate even if he couldn't prevent his own.
