So I've spent the last few days in Heartland visiting my parents and helping Yuma go through some stuff at his old house, since Akari-san wanted him sort through it.

I talked to my parents and finally told them about everything. About Mr. Heartland and about my powers. It was a lot for them to take in, but they both love me and accept me for who I am. I know they also kept the truth about my actual father hidden to protect me, but I feel now this is all out, I'm that much more closer to them, especially my dad. He sacrificed a lot just to make sure mom and I were happy and safe. He stepped up when Heartland didn't. To me, he's more my real dad. He always will be.
I acknowledge I'm related to Heartland by blood, but I'll never consider him a real father.
He's out of my life for good anyway.

With that done, I want to focus on the positives and the future as much as I can.
Yuma and I more or less have the apartment to ourselves now. Haru-san moved back permanently to Heartland and Akari-san only stays when she needs to be in Domino City for her job.
She's still helping us financially, as are my parents from this weekend, until Yuma and I can stand on our own feet.

We now have a spare room in the apartment, so I've turned it into a working space for my fashion design work. It's so much better to have the extra room! It got a little too cluttered trying to work in a space shared by both me and Yuma.
The room also doubles as a guest room, for when Akari-san, or any of our friends stay over.

My small fashion design business is going well too. I've had a lot of custom orders recently for spring and summer wear lately! It's been really exciting working on it.

Overall... it's been a tough and emotional weekend... and last few months, but I really feel positive about the future. About my business, me and Yuma, everything!

So just to check, but Mr. Heartland...

Was he an insect at any point in his life, do you know?

Yes. The heritage I share with him is insect based.
He was an insect demon or something like that? Not really sure of the clear specifics of it sadly, but at least it gives an explanation to where my abilities came from.

Well, that does definitely explain quite a bit.

I'm glad you sound like you're doing... better in general, though. You got to talk to your parents, and they accepted it? Everything?

Yes, they did.
It was a shock to them and was a lot for them to take in, but I was able to explain it gently to them. I told them that I knew about Mr. Heartland first, and my relation to him, which lead me into explaining that he wasn't human, which my mom didn't know about at all, and then to my powers.
Once the shock had worn off, they were rather interested in what I could do with my abilities.

As I mentioned, I think it's brought me closer to both of them. They don't have the secret they had to keep from me weighing them down anymore and I feel like I can be really open with the both of them.

It's probably removed a great source of stress, too. Knowing that they'll support you, knowing it.

You'll probably be fine... but if you ever have issues again, I'll be glad to help. Now that I know a bit more about the source of the powers, I can do better research in anything that could help you, including medically in case there's any differences.

Thank you so much, Souha-san. For all your help and support you've given me with this. I've greatly appreciated it.

If there are any issues in the future, or something I feel I need advice on regarding this, I'm really glad to know I'll be able to turn to you for it.

Heh, of course. Don't ever hesitate about it, alright?

I won't.

Thanks again, Souha-san.
