Guys, I have a theory why Donovan Desmond is so freaky and wierd, and might even explain his scars on his head... I think he might have been given an artificial mind reading ability, likely a copy/maybe advanced version from Anya, after she was tested in the labs.
Clues:
1: Donovan rarely talks, is an isolated person and the entire premise of the series is to get close to him, but it is impossible even though he is an important politician. If he can read minds, than he is likely to know who is a threat to him just by standing next to him for a while.
2: The eyes narrowing on people of interest. In Chapter 37-38, Twilight meets Donovan face-to face, and the result is... shocking for him. His usual subtle manipulation does not work, and Donovan takes control of the conversation quite easily. His eyes are narrow, has a suspicous look, and talks like he knows his ideology well, even if that was their first meeting.
3: In this Chapter, at the dinner where nobody says a word, it still feels tense. He looks at everyone, like he is scanning them, and his eyes narrow again, as she looks at Melinda. If the theory is correct, he realizes that her wife became best friends with Yor, the wife of the spy who was sent to gather information on him. If he read Loid's mind, it would not be a wild guess that he already suspects that the Forgers might be a fake/cover family for Twilight.
So, if this idea proves to be true, than he LITERALLY sees into their deepest thoughts, explaining why his wife, children, butlers and the entire country feel distraught by his presence, and how he can be the True Endgame Boss, and maybe he will be the reason Loid and Yor come to know each others identities, and how Anya's powers tie into the plot: a Natural Born Psychic Child vs an Artificial Esper Politician.
(PS: It is just a theory, I might be absolutely wrong about everything. If you have any ideas or better proofs, you can correct me)
