There are many types of intimacy and I love the way Spy x Family shows developing trust, especially between Loid and Yor.
This first moment when Loid explicitly recognizes Yor as the mother in the Folger household is especially important in their relationship.
Even though he is focused on his mission, he is actually exhibiting a vulnerability that he repeatedly tells himself he can’t indulge in as a spy. This isn’t one of his calculated statements. He is trusting Yor not only with supporting him in his mission (however unbeknown to her) but also with helping him uphold one of his core values - protecting the well-being and happiness of children - with Anya. Yor is a real partner to him regardless of the reasons their arrangement began.
