Yor is the best

 

[mlow44]

Mom's gonna assassinate the bad thoughts and nightmares.

 

[Nobi]

Anya probably remembers the voice of the comatose doctor.

Also, feel free to speculate about the scar on Desmond's head.

Could Desmond have trained himself to think in ways to convince other mind readers that he can't read minds? If someone knows that there are telepaths out there, and if someone can be given that ability through surgery or whatever, then it would make sense that you'd try to think of a way to keep other telepaths off the scent.

Like that Pazaak thing from KOTOR 2, train yourself to think in ways that throws mind readers off.

HNNNNNNNNG

It does seem awfully on the nose that Desmond was thinking what amounts to "Gee, I sure wish I could read minds so I could understand this dude. That sure would be convenient, oh well!" like he was putting on a show. On the other hand, he did start randomly thinking about his research which if Anya hadn't been interrupted by Yor would have been (assumedly) pretty confidential information so I'm not entirely convinced.

Maybe he was thinking about telepathy because his research does involve that but he himself was a failed test subject (maybe he started by experimenting on himself first which is why he has the scar). It could just be that he's ridiculously autistic and everyone else just interprets that as weird and off putting because they don't know any better so he wishes he could read people's minds since he has trouble reading body language or between the lines of people's words. Could be any number of things really, hopefully the story starts leaning more into developing him as an actual character instead of just having him be this nebulous MacGuffin.

And here I thought he was a misunderstood guy who doesnt know how to get along with others

 

[ansonh92]

My guess is the following:

Spoiler: The guess

Former Prime Minister Desmond doesn't have special power.
He is, however, aware of mindreader because of his "research".
That is why he is stonecold to avoid having thought.
Former, former Prime Minister Chapman must have something in his mind that Desmond truly wants.
What is this thing? No idea yet.

 

[Wildfire]

It's kinda curious how Chapman starts thinking about his itching brain after Anya starts reading his mind, that kinda suggests it's possible to feel mind reading and that it's more of an offensive power rather then an passive.

 

[Shinigamisama]

Oh Anya, never change.

 

[Grailm]

Desmond aside, i'm curious if Anya was having traumatic flashbacks to her time as a test subject. Does she remember everything that was done? So much yet to be revealed.

 

[Donjueves]

Anya is so precius

 

[Metonym]

Never mind the past, experiencing the feelings of sick and dying people is plenty disturbing.

 

[Hamerin]

Ah Anya deserves everything good in life.

 

[sisio]

oh ok, she can focus on target now, but her body still cant handle the weight, kinda understandable she's still 6 yrs old

 

[dowiet]

the last panel is so lovely

 

[fight2live]

...i still think Desmond is a mindreader. or at least knows the existence of mindreaders
