In response to these threats, the legendary spy and master of disguise known as "Twilight" undertakes dangerous missions without rest, fueled by a desire to shield future generations from the horrors of war. Within the Ostanian city of Berlint, Twilight assumes the alias "Loid Forger," posing as a respected psychiatrist. His true goal is to gather intelligence on the prominent politician Donovan Desmond, who seldom appears in public except at his children's school, the prestigious Eden Academy. To accomplish this, Loid recruits city hall employee Yor Briar to serve as his wife and adopts the mysterious six-year-old orphan Anya as his daughter. By securing Anya's enrollment at Eden Academy, Loid hopes to generate opportunities for discreet interactions with Donovan.
