Once in a while I’ll just think about the scene when Natsume could no longer see yokai and Nyanko- sensei transformed into his true form and Natsume couldn’t see him.
The look in Madara’s eyes, the way it pans out to show Natsume surrounded by Madara but not seeing him, the utter sense of loneliness within that one scene is so fucking good.
It really just fully shows how important they are to one another. Natsume wasn’t too sad when he couldn’t see Chobihige. It’s only when he realizes he could no longer see Madara, that he finally feels that loneliness again. Similarly, the focus on Madara’s eyes and despite him not saying anything you know he’s hurt that Natsume could no longer see him.
It’s such a bittersweet but beautiful scene and whenever I think about Natsuyuu that’s one of the first image that pops in my head.
