Donovan's power speculations and other stuff
This is a SpyxFamily theory that I've been wanting to write down for a while.
So Donovan was probably experimented on since he has scars on his head right? Probably in the same project Anya was involved in. I don't think he has telepathy like Anya (just like Bond was the only dog that could see the future) but he definitely has some sort of power (or more than one). I think one of his power is to block other people's powers. This is kinda random but I have a specific reason for thinking he has this power and if it turns out I'm right I want to write it down first.
I believe there is a deeper reason why Endo made Anya fall asleep when Twilight met Donovan, more than just comedic purpose. Other than the fact that Anya being there would have distracted from the two main interactions Damian-Donovan and Twilight-Donovan, what if the reason is that she would have figured something out had she been there? What if she would have noticed she couldn't read his mind and therefore understood he was involved in the experiment? Also it makes kinda sense for him to make sure to be immune to the powers of the people he was experimenting on, so that they couldn't go directly against him. It would also tie well with what he said about people not being able to understand each other. Twilight couldn't understand him, so what if his power prevented even the literal telepath from reading him, an 'inscrutable person'.
Anyway, aside from Donovan hypothetical power, I really think that fact that Anya fell asleep is important somehow. If she was relevant enough in the experiment, it's possible that Donovan might have recognized her. Or if he can sense these powers somehow (maybe that's his power idk) he might have perceived her. It's kinda ironic to think that if he was closer to his son he would have actually found Anya already. It would tie with the theme of family, the fact that he is distant from his family is what is making him fail in retrieving the kid that escaped.
I really think whenever Anya and Donovan will meet something big will be revealed. Either she figures out he was involved in the experiments or he recognize her. Granted, this will probably happen towards the end of the story so I'm really getting ahead of myself here ahah. But I can't stop thinking about the fact that, since Donovan was experimented on and was involved in the project, Anya being removed from that first encounter is significant.
