Natsume 3
Natsume 3
A childless middle-aged couple and Takashi's current foster parents. Shigeru is a second
cousin of Takashi's dead father, and as a boy once met Reiko without recognizing it was her.
Both Touko and Shigeru assure Takashi that they consider him a part of their family. They
both worry often about him, wanting him to be as happy as possible. Despite this, Takashi
goes to great lengths to hide his ability from them. Slowly, Takashi comes to understand that
his keeping the Fujiwaras at a distance, including always addressing them formally
(see Honorific speech in Japanese), is preventing him from forming close human
attachments. Despite this, he still fears being rejected because of his ever
developing/increasing spiritual abilities.
