Chapter 118 of Spy x Family brings significant twists and further deepens Yor's character development. During Garden's mission to eliminate a group of poachers, Hemlock attacks Yor directly with a surprise attack.
The confrontation between the two reveals an intense battle not only physical but also ideological. Hemlock, guided by a distorted belief that solitude is an assassin's true power, considers Yor weak for having grown close to others, especially after her marriage to Loid. To him, the emotional bond made her useless for the Garden's dirty work.
Yor proves her emotional strength and surprises those who underestimated her
Yor, however, doesn't back down. Even shaken by Hemlock's words, she proves otherwise. By winning the battle, Yor not only physically defeats her opponent but also deals a severe psychological blow to the assassin. The defeat to Yor shakes Hemlock, who cannot accept having lost to someone he considered "weakened" by affection.
Despite the victory, the main mission isn't over. Yor's next step is to continue the hunt for the poachers. The chapter makes it clear that the character is at a breaking point between her identity as an assassin and the new life she's built with her fake family, something that, paradoxically, has strengthened her.
