Taki seems concerned about her older brother, Yu, who has recently returned from college. Although Yu is often away from home, his actions leave Taki uneasy. The siblings have a complicated relationship; Taki’s fondness for her Yokai-loving grandfather contrasts sharply with Yu’s pragmatic, reality-driven mindset, creating tension between them.

Natsume’s Book of Friends Season 7 Episode 6 recap
Natsume’s Book of Friends Season 7 Episode 6 is titled ‘The Abandoned Station, Two Wheels.’ The episode sees Natsume and Nyanko-Sensei seek shelter from the rain at an old bus stop and unexpectedly encounter Matoba Seiji.
Matoba, the head of a prominent exorcist clan, reveals that he is being hunted by a Yokai that targets exorcists during rainstorms. To protect them, he gives Natsume a birdcage cover, which hides them from the Yokai’s sight when it appears.
The next day, Natsume revisits the Hakozaki mansion to assist Beniko in investigating the mysterious presences she senses, even though she lacks spiritual powers. During their conversation, Natsume inquires if Beniko knows anything about his maternal grandfather in Natsume’s Book of Friends Season 7 Episode 6, but she has no information.
Outside, he and Nyanko-Sensei find mirror fragments near a tree and run into Matoba again. Matoba explains that these fragments are traps to capture a Yokai seeking revenge on his clan for breaking a promise.
By using the fragments, Natsume and Matoba disable a doll Yokai, ultimately tricking the vengeful Yokai into consuming it. This encounter gives Natsume a deeper understanding of the challenges the Matoba clan faces in Natsume’s Book of Friends Season 7 Episode 6.
