Friendship is one of the most rewarding parts of life
Anya formed many friendships at Eden Academy, and her parents did the same in their lives
Anya got into a long-running rivalry with Damian Desmond, one of her classmates at Eden Academy, who ironically was the student Loid hoped she would befriend because he needed to get closer to Damian's father, Donovan, for Operation Strix. Damian bullied Anya, and she retaliated just as rudely, punching him in the face and creating a deeper barrier between them. Loid told Anya, “Friendships are important. Cherish them,” encouraging her adopted daughter to realize how necessary these bonds are to living a fulfilling life.
He also explained to her that one of the best parts about attending school is the ability to meet new people and hopefully build relationships with peers that will last well beyond the classroom. Anya found one such bond with a classmate, Becky Blackbell, who she began to trust and even go out to play with outside of school, such as at the mall. Anya gradually began to mend the gap between her and Damian, defending him and helping him with a school art project, for example.

You never know what someone else is secretly struggling with
Damian attacked Anya so harshly because of her problems within his family
Damian was cruel to most of his classmates, and in particular, he spoke badly of Anya as if she were beneath him. He seemed to believe he was the smartest and most talented member of his class at Eden Academy, strolling around the school with arrogance and constantly surrounded by a group of bullies to fuel his inflated self-perception. Little did Anya or anyone else notice, Damian felt ignored by their own family and was incredibly insecure deep down.
His brother, Demetrius, receives more attention and praise from their father than Damian, and no achievement he achieves is enough to impress Donovanwhich continually breaks Damian's heart. He strives to rise to the top, constantly upholding the image of a dignified and orderly member of the Desmond family, while also crumbling inside due to his father's neglect and the years he spent living in Demetrius' shadow. Because of the difficulties he faced, Damian hesitates to trust anyone, pushing Anya away and even mistreating her.
While his evil isn't excusable, it makes more sense considering everything he's dealing with, and once those struggles came to light, Damian becomes a much more relatable and sympathetic character. Real life is similar, and the rudest, rudest people often carry the most emotional baggage on their shoulders, afraid to let others in and risk getting hurt again. Notably, Anya shows genuine kindness to Damian even after he has treated her so badly, which helps him make his first genuine friend. This beautiful lesson shows that sometimes a gesture of love is enough to reach even the coldest person and make them feel valued, perhaps for the first time.
The Forger family is technically “fake,” but the love between them couldn't be more real
The Forger family's incredible connection seems to prove the saying “blood is thicker than water” false, because although none of the family members are actually related or linked in any way, they have one of the best, most supportive and happiest living arrangements. Loid was forced to create a fake family for his mission, Operation Strix, aimed at achieving peace between East and West, and he complied.
He adopted Anya and set up a fake marriage with Yor, and while a dynamic like that could be quite strange, the same wasn't true for the Forgers. Whether any of them are willing to admit it or not, Yor and Loid appear to be developing genuine feelings of romance for each other, evidenced by some flirtatious encounters and blushing moments together, and the entire family developed a genuine love for each other.
For example, when Anya was threatened by criminals, Yor fought off the attackers as if Anya were his own daughter, and when Yor was feeling insecure that Loid might have feelings for another woman, he took her on a date and assured her your affection. for her. These gestures can be attributed to the Forgers doing what was necessary to preserve the family for the benefit of all, but the story makes clear that These actions go beyond mere obligation. Whenever the Forgers are together, they laugh, smile, and deeply enjoy each other's company, which is incontrovertible proof that families come in many different forms and each one is uniquely amazing.
