Like I said somewhere, the way Endo handle Melinda case is fully justifying taking those breaks by author... like medics often say if patient have delusions or hallucinations it's safer to accept those claims for patient well being and safety.

Also I don't know if other said this alredy but slowly author was introducing us to "Anya arc"!
+ someone correct me if I'm wrong but when Donovan met Loid was there eclipse so he couldn't read Loid's mind?

I wonder if Donovan actually reads minds like Anya does and it's not just Melinda being scared of her husband. Of course he changed, it's literally the war between two countries...

Donovan could have known Loid as Twilight during their first meeting. Twilight's doomed!! 😣😩 Anya's going to prepare "Plan D" if she is to encounter a mind-reading super boss. 🤣 And, poor Melinda...she's suffering all along from the mind-reading abilities of Donovan. And, Demitrius can hide his thoughts so that Donovan cannot read them.

@marquinti2 Ye fixed it, playing Mass Effect 2 and mixed up the name with one of the characters in the game, very similar XD.

Bet it's less alien possession and more pre-Anya experiment into psychic powers that ended up giving Desmond some kind of lobotomy-like side effect, although with this manga both is a possibility

So she does have Capgras syndrome. This chapter is huge, so Desmond can read minds. What was he thinking when he talked to Loid? This has got even more exciting, these chapters were soo good. Poor Melinda.

Both Anya and Desmond did a similar exhale during some high tensions scenes. Anya will be the real key learning about Desmond, if all this is true then Loid is def cooked, unless he and Anya can work together. Anya and Desmond are going to have a crazy telepathic conversation

also the real plot twist is that Desmond is def just a chill guy who can read minds

Not sure if Donovan can actually read people's thoughts the way Anya does, but yeah, this chapter has indeed clarified that he might be able to do that, even if to a certain extent.

But then again, his meeting with Loid back then didn't give anything away. If he was actually aware what Loid was up to, we would've seen something happening behind the scenes, or could it be that something is actually happening and Donovan is just observing. Really though, can't wait to see what turn story would take from here on.

Well, Donovan had surgeon scars around his head, so he could get some experiments. Besides, flashbacks with Demetrius shows, that Donovan acted different than now.

What a turnover! I would have never thought that Donovan is not a human anymore. AN ALIEN? That’s something.

Let’s see how Loid will deal with that. It would be interesting if Donovan showed up at his clinic.

What a bomb drop.

Donovan can be an esper, but I think he won't be as good as Anya. Maybe he can use the ability for short amount and/or after triggering it with some drug or something.

It's entirely possible he's so 200+IQ prodigy and knows Loid's identity but pretends to be oblivious for now. Can't wait to see how things go when we see him again.

Fascinating! So Donovan isn't an alien,
but is a telepath who can read minds like Anya.

I wonder if Melinda will visit again. I'd bet yes as Yor's friend.
I also wonder, yet doubt if Anya will now reveal herself as a telepath sooner than later to Loid to help him...

It would kinda ruin the buildup if it's kind of sudden, but I imagine it'll be epic however it happens. Awesome progress. Can't wait for the next chapter!

CALLED IT! I knew Donovan was able to read minds like Anya! Will this lead to Loid finding out sooner than later that she can read minds? I doubt so at this moment, but if he did then that would be outrageous and I'd have no idea where the manga would go from there.

So unless it turns out Desmond's ability isn't quite as advanced as Anya's, Loid is beyond screwed.

@AnimeNerd99 Yup. I'm thinking that Desmond knows that Loid isn't who he says he is but is observing him, putting together a net and will try to entrap him at some point.

Maybe the big break is that Desmond finds out that Anya has full unhindered mind reading powers and kidnaps her.

This was a great chapter. Not just for the content we got but for the fact that it made me go and look at the first interaction Loid had with Donovan. The way it was written it could really go either way.

At this point, I would like to think that Donovan cannot read minds. This is because it has been so long since then and nothing happened. Had he read Loid's mind he would know Loid is a spy and his cover was completely blown.

@Farabeuf The flip side of that is that Desmond is a hostage to the party and is keeping Loid being a spy to himself in an effort to work with him in the future. That would be a hell of a plot twist.

The author has opened themselves up to so many possibilities.

Nah. I doubt it and would personally hate that.
I believe they're just humans turned telepath with illegal experiments, just like Bond who can see the future.

I noticed that many people here called "Desmond" as Donovan. Desmond is the family's last name. His first name is Donovan. People also mistakenly call Damian's first name as "Desmond" too, which is somewhat confusing since there are four characters who share the last name Desmond.

Anyway, I have a feeling that if Donovan finds out Anya is a telepath like him, he would kidnap her and force her to work for him. Maybe even turn
her into a child solider, which is unfortunately what some countries in real life do to their own children. This also makes me think of when Loid was a young boy he wanted to join the military to fight in the war, and ended up being a child soldier himself before he became a spy for WISE.

‼️TRIGGER WARNING‼️
This chapter reminds me when my middle school had an assembly for this elderly man who was a war veteran who fought in one of the Stan countries, maybe Kazakhstan.

He told everyone that he was shocked to fight against child soldiers since he never seen children on the battlefield before. They were ruthless. They attempted to end his life with their own weapons. They all managed to stomp and break one of his arms, causing him to need surgery. Unfortunately, his arm could not be saved. The ER doctors surgically amputated his arm, resulting in him getting a replacement, which turned out to be a monkey's paw. The child soldiers even cut up his face with broken glass, so he had to get surgery on his face too. The doctors stitched someone else's skin to his face. I still vividly remember him rolling up his long sleeve slowly to show his arm to his audience.

War is no joke, and he reminded everyone in that auditorium that day. He was about to continue his traumatic experience, but in the end, the vice
principal cut him off before he started talking again. He said all of us students needed to go back to class. I still remember hearing everyone
groaning loudly in their seats.

But I believe it was mostly because his story was too horrific and brutal for middle schoolers to hear....😔

Chapter 110 is slowly building up the next chapter(s)/story arc to be a deeply depressing one. 😞

So it's confirmed that Donovan might not be "human" after all, due to Melinda strongly believing that he can hear people's thoughts like a telepathic alien from outer space. She believes her husband has been abducted by aliens, possibly for the sole purpose to "observe" humanity from a far to help escalate the war between the East and West.

This chapter low-key kinda reminds me of this one episode from The Twilight Zone. In that episode, an alien observer watches a neighborhood full of paranoid humans turn against each other as a result of high tensions, suspicions, and false accusations leading to various misunderstandings.

Since previous chapters mentioned there were two wars in the past, a potential third war will most likely end with even more catastrophe, considering the high stakes between the two countries involved.

Also, I think it's really sad and depressing that Melinda thinks people who can read minds are "aliens," not humans with supernatural powers. I hope she doesn't suspect Anya to be an "alien" like her husband since Anya is an innocent victim herself. 😥🤞

Damian is most likely the only Desmond to not know about his father's secret powers, which may be similar to Anya's ability. 😯
