"That's..." Kosuke looked for a way to word it, "because demons have a stereotype of being bad and evil, and really they are, I'm just an exception. But I don't want those prejudices' to get in the way of meeting someone new. I'd rather have time to build a positive relationship, and then tell them myself out of trust and respect," he said stroking the bird's head. It cuddled against his hand. "It would be easier if more people were like you and were open to exceptions to the stereotype. But a lot of people let that block their decisions. In other words, I prefer choices to restrictions. And I want to have a choice in who I become friends with." He sighed, "But here's where that becomes hypocritical: if the only friends I can choose to have are those that either don't know or don't mind, then that's still more of a restriction than a choice." The bird climbed onto his hand and Kosuke leaned back. "People--not just humans--are really complicated. Besides, people don't like demons. If I show myself to too great of a degree, I'm likely to be assaulted by some of the older kids here. And if I tried to fight back, I could hurt them. And if any of the demon inside of me says it likes that, bye bye humanity." He held the bird a little closer to him and it looked at him, not a bit of fear in its eyes. "I don't know if these reasons would be important to you or someone else, but they mean a lot to me. That's why if I have a choice I won't reveal myself as a demon. So, what's your next question? Are you curious about how a demon's body work? Cause it's really not the same as a human." Kosuke waited for whatever her next question may be,
