Not sure if this will interest people but after catching up with nb and letting this simmer in my head for a while, I kind of want to look at the parallels between these two so I will ramble:
As og tags point out, Lucifer's existence must severely look like a big contradiction to Luke. I imagine the Celestial Realm must have hit hard on the message of the supposed wrong he and his brothers must have done contradicting their Father's wishes, and if we are following actual biblical lore, it will be one of the first few instances where sin was introduced into the realms. (The sin in this case was free will, a concept that must have been foreign to them) So it's a given they would constantly talk about what started and what ended that day. It's important to learn from history's mistakes in order not to repeat them.
So we have an angel (a child) who is being taught about a hero and a villain. One of heaven's highest blessings, a kin of your kind, betraying your family and everyone you love and becoming the being you are innate to hate.
Then you meet him. You want to hate him. You HAVE to hate him, but you can't. Not when you see how much he cares for his brothers. Not when you see your own pseudo-father/brother also silently mourning and rejoicing his passing and rebirth. Not when you see how truly tired he is. Especially less when you find out what was the reason for his fall (Protecting his family, your family.)
As much as he was born and taught to fight evil, Luke was also raised to love and care. He hates demons, but how is he able to pick a side without holding doubts when he develops a connection with said enemy? How can he blindly follow what he was raised to believe when it's not so clear cut to pick a side as he thought it was? (He would still stay with Simeon and the rest of the angels, however, because it's safer and it was the role he was assigned too,ย he doesn't want to disappoint)ย It's easier to judge from a distance after all, because you don't have the attachment to be hurt by then.
But now Luke is attached, he has the weirdest estranged uncle(s) who has an awful personality and teases him yet they will both care so much (Neither will admit it, because again, it's safer that way).
They were taught to be so different, yet they are the same kind, and for an angel who still has many centuries to learn while a former one has lived long enough to understand, it must be straining. They would want to interfere in their lives, but they just can't. It's why Lucifer detaches himself from any one who wants to approach him ( e.g. MC, Simeon and Diavolo) and Luke insists he doesn't understand demons (almost to the level of ignorance) because it's just less of a risk of hurting themselves and more importantly, others.ย
They are both a constant reminder of the burden and failures of their existences. They can't escape it.
