seeing is believing: a resolution to yakumo's grief
one: yakumo states he's cursed and expresses his desire of wanting to see sanada, even as a ghost.
two: yatora's aoj piece is called "beyond the line of sight" and it is a triad painting of yakumo, hacchan, and momo's backs with an empty space left for sanada.
three: momo ends the chapter with the idea that children are the only ones able to see god.
at first i thought these were all separate moments, but they actually are all connected and provide the perfect conclusion to this arc. we can now understand why momo called yakumo a "brat" several chapters ago; yakumo acts like a child over sanada's death because he thought of her like a god and wanted to keep seeing her. he's been "seeing" her as a figment of his imagination, but even that version of sanada has become warped and untrue to the real, previously living sanada. and because he's cursed - either by not being in god's favor or simply because he's growing up (aka moving on) - he's lost the ability to see sanada anymore. she is now, like yatora states in his piece, beyond the line of sight.
by maturing and accepting the death of sanada and her human status, he can no longer see her. but like yotasuke told him last chapter, he can keep the grief he has over sanada with him forever. the next time yakumo and sanada see each other, it will be in death. it is only then that they can finally fulfill their past dream of having a joint exhibition of their art. and while their art is being displayed to be seen by others and can "leave a lasting impression on [their] hearts, for better or worse," they themselves will not be seen and therefore, are free from any worldly burdens :')

TGED Novel Comparison
Look, I like the Webtoon adaptation with all its humor or exaggerated meme expression, but I love the details in the novel even more. Like, this part where we get to see Javier's devotion to protect Lloyd:
Like, he's so down and ready to go take the elves life to safe Lloyd 😭 The utter concern and worry from Javier side described in the novel is just * chef kiss * There's so much moments of heartfelt and tenderness that got skipped in the Webtoon (like the baron dad going on a makeshift picnic with his son), though understandable. Honestly, the vibe between the novel and webtoon are pretty different, how Lloyd does things changed a bit but both medium are enjoyable!

I forgot to mention another parallel between the events occurred before the rewriting, and the ones that are shown in chapter 74...
Since I liked the Sakura/Tomoyo moment, I'm gonna add it here 😊
The sleeve of the costume that had already appeared in the dream of chapter 61 wasn't the only reference: this same scene also potrayed a couple of panels drawn exactly like the scene with the Repair Card in Clockland of chapter 65!
Chapter 74
Chapter 65
I love these constant call-backs, as if to indicate that no matter what happens (forbidden magic rewriting events, forgetting, etc) some things are just bound to happen .

Anime only watchers and people who aren't caught up with the Manga yet, BEWARE... Cuz I'm about to discuss Spy X Family Mission 65... You have been warned...! 👌
[SPOILERS AHEAD FROM THIS POINT ON]
OH MY GOSH...!! THIS CHAPTER!!! 😱😱😱
Okay... Before I start going crazy about THAT ENDING, I'm going to start by sharing my initial reactions and discussing the chapter as a whole...
First things first, this chapter was not initially about Anya like I thought it would be... But instead, it was all about Yor!! 😁
And since this chapter was about Yor, it delve into more of her worries about being "normal"... Which always makes me sad... 😔
You deserve the world, Yor...!! ❤
Continuing on, as Yor is out shopping, we are shown this woman and servant... And when I saw this panel, I knew that she was going to be important...!! I just didn't know how! 😅
As the woman is heading up the stairs, she suddenly trips and is about to fall...!! But luckily, Yor was there to help!! 😄
Amazed by her rescuer's skills, the woman offers Yor to come and join her for a rousing game of volleyball!! 😆
Which means that every member of the Forger family (except Bond) has been involved a sport...!! Which makes me laugh!! 😂
It turns though, this wasn't just a regular volleyball thing... It was an All-Mothers Volleyball League!! 😲 Which also had thinking that maybe some of these women were the mothers of some the Eden Academy kids...!! 🤔 Which, yet again, I didn't know for sure...!! 😅
Anyway, I kinda stop theorizing and just had so much fun watching Yor play volleyball with these other mothers!! 😄 There was so many great scenes in the volleyball match that wish I could put in here (y'know because of the 10 image limit), but I think my favorite has to be THIS:
GODDAMN YOR...!! 🤣
After all was said and done, Yor and the other mothers went out together...!! They asked her a few questions and Yor started to talk about how she doesn't know what's she supposed to do as mother or a wife... But, the women reassured Yor that none of them know what their doing either, which really warmed my heart...!!! 💗 But then...
THIS HAPPENED...:
I was like: "Wait...!! does that mean--"
AND THEN, THIS:
MY REACTION TO THE ENDING OF CH. 65:
OH MY GOD!!! WHAT!?
This chapter completely threw me for loop!! 😵 First I thought this chapter was going to be about Anya, then I thought it was just going to be a fun little chapter, and now... MY MIND IS BLOWN!!! 😲 I now have like 20 theories going on in my head...!! So here's a few:
Could Melinda be actual true mastermind and not Donovan?
Does Melinda know more about the Forger than she lets on?
If she does know more about the Forger family, could she possibly be the one ask Yor to assassinate Twilight?
Can she read minds like how some people believe that Donovan can?
Is Demetrius Desmond also apart of this?
These are only some of my thoughts but you get the idea... It's funny because I was actually going to write theory (more of a speculation) about Demetrius and how he might be working with his dad...! But now with Melinda Desmond showing up, a new can of worms has just opened up!! 🤔
Anyway, this chapter was freaking amazing and I can't wait to see what happens next!! 😆 Until the next Mission!! Peace!! ✌😎

I cannot believe I've become that Spot The Difference/Similarity fan, but I feel like I should've known she was related to the Desmond's because her eyes are drawn Just Like Damian's (in that they're drawn downward facing and have the under eye lashes)
Tbh there are probably characters who also have similar eye shapes, so apologies if this is just me grasping at straws but I just thought the similarity and consistency was neat!
