* BullyHunter: A non violent variation is seen when Anya is looking for her lost gloves a bulldog picks them up, and carries them off. When Anya asks for them back, the bulldog barks and growls at her, only for Bond to stand menacingly over the bulldog and silently signal that's it's in his best interest to give Anya her gloves back.

A promise on its own is People Sit On Chairs. The current standard for The Promise is summariszed here, which boils down that it should drive the plot in some way. As written, I don't see how this drives the plot.

As he looks at Anya and Bond playing in the dog park, he has an internal monologue about how when Operation Strix ends, he'll stop being Loid Forger and assume a new identity when he's assigned a new mission, although he'll try to stay in touch with Yor and Anya for as long as it's feasible.

* ShoutOut: The bulldog that picks up Anya's gloves refers to them as "my precious," much like Golum does to the ring of power in ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''

It's not really ambiguous. Sylvia told Twilight the dogs were important(i.e. not things they could just euthanize), Anya can read minds so she'd know if Sylvia was lying, and the manga outright notes a WISE agent adopted the dog Twilight trapped in the dumpster.


* AmbiguousSituation: Did Sylvia really intend to have the remaining dogs fed and taken care of? Or was it a lie to give Anya comfort without her giving notion to the idea of the remaining dogs being euthanized? It's important to consider that she's a high ranking member of an espionage group and lying is a valuable and mandatory talent.
