This is mainly a question for Shiroko-san and Ai-san, but I felt like leaving this open for others to weigh in their opinions too.

How do you live comfortably with both parts of yourself, as a hybrid?

I don't know much about my non-human side, other than I'm a demon with insect qualities. I don't know if I come from a specific line of demons, or what they would be called. My abilities and what I'm capable of I've had to explore myself, and I still do training with them once or twice a week to explore them.
So as you can imagine, I do feel very out of touch with that side of myself, where I feel much more comfortable with my human side.

I'm just not sure how to feel comfortable living not as just a human, or just a demon, but as both at the same time.

I guess I was just curious if there are other hybrids who feel this way, like they're in touch with one side more than the other, or if there are others out there who have found a way to feel more comfortable with their hybrid identity.

I just want to make sure that I feel comfortable and proud of who I am, not just for myself, but also for any children Yuma and I may have in the future too, as they wouldn't only have my demon heritage, but Yuma's Astral heritage too, so I'd want to be able to teach them to be comfortable with it and be proud of who they are.

Nothing much I can add, that Shiroko and Ai haven't, but you honestly just live with it.

Like being a Grimro is natural to me anymore, as much as being mayor or being a Roman Catholic.

"How do you juxtaposition being a demon and being a member of the faith that says demons are bad"

Well, God's got to forgive all of us at some point here, that's kind of the whole kit and kaboodle, right?

Hmm, so I guess it really is just giving myself time and to keep exploring it while doing so and hopefully it'll gradually feel natural for me too.
