One thing I am really loving about this series as I watch it, is seeing how Natsume and Nyanko-sensei's relationship plays out. At the end of nearly every episode, they have a small moment where Natsume sort of reflects on the themes brought up in the episode. And a lot of them have to do with losing the people you love, loneliness, and a lack of a sense of belonging. And I feel like they both can relate to that. Nyanko-sensei is very adamant about not having any love for Natsume and only being with him because he gets something out of it but I really don't think that's the case. And I think (and I hope) that as the series goes on, they will explore that more.
Also regarding this episode specifically, I loved the artistic choice to completely leave out the koto song as it was, just like she said, a song she wanted to play for only Brelly-San's ears. Beautifully done.
