Curious as to the grouping of Donovan with Demetrius and Melinda with Damian in the full page of the family at the table.

Like, I guess character design-wise, the similarities were already drawn, given the distinctive eyes each side of the family has, but in those particular pages even the *expressions* aligned. I doubt we can say at this point that Demetrius is exactly like Donovan or Damian is exactly like Melinda, but the parallels seem to be deliberate enough we should be looking for similarities in how they act?

#spy x family #sxf manga spoilers #the seeming lack of expression vs clear nerves is the main theme for the groupings in this chapter ig.#I think it's harder to read into the lack of expression as it could be genuine obliviousness and doesn't necessarily have to be sinister #but the nerves? the way melinda barely touched her food whilst damian tried to draw out the meal so he had the chance to talk #how both melinda and damian reacted to even the sound of soup slurping? even if melinda doesn't crave the validation damian does #they're both ridiculously on edge the whole dinner
