I love Natsume (character and show) with all my heart but rewatching it really makes his monologues at the end of every episode and the similar themes they tend to fit stand out and I can only imagine if he actually said these out loud and how irritating it would be for Nyanko-sensei
End of Episode music plays
Nyanko-sensei: oh no
Natsume: my bonds with people and youkai...they're both important
Nyanko-sensei: oh god he's doing it again
Natsume: i'm not alone anymore...
Nyanko-sensei: We know! We all know! that's very obvious, i'm literally right here!
Natsume: There are so many people I care about and want to protect...
Nyanko-sensei: Can you protect me from hearing this every day
Natsume: but i'm constantly anxious it will all go away.
Nyanko sensei: I keep telling you to go to therapy for that.
Natsume: Others have shown me so much kindness I want to be kind myself
Nyanko sensei: I GET IT. YOU'RE ALREADY TOO KIND IN MY OPINION.
Natsume: telling the truth and letting people in is hard but slowly. I'm getting there...
Nyanko-sensei: Oh thank my noble majestic self, we're fading to black now, FINALLY.
