Tips appreciated to help this Texan keep taking estrogen! Warning - puzzles often crass, anarchic, and approaching NC-17 territory.

      The AKIHITO/KAITO crossing was rough but luckily everything else was fine so I just had to guess that one. This was challenging as expected but even with all the names it was quite doable. I've never asked, does "Sheydah" mean anything?

        Sheyd/sheydah is the Jewish concept of a "malicious" spirit. There's a lot of lore out there regarding these spirits that I'm admittedly too zonked to paste here, but I chose the naming scheme of having the midis be called Menace, the full Sheydah (female form of sheyd), and the jumbo/Sunday Ashmedai (the ruler of the demons).
