i want beniko and yorishima to hang out. i think they'd balance each other out well. antisocial old man and woman who resents a different old man for dying before she could socialize him. yorishima probably knew her grandfather and probably was cranky about his whole youkai friendship situation, which beniko was also cranky about. ultimately beniko has to make her peace with the fact that she avoided her grandfather because she couldn't share his world and that now that he's dead it's too late to reach out to him. yorishima isn't a substitute for her grandfather, but he is a guy who's isolating himself not just from humans who can't see, but also from humans who can see and from youkai. his perspective overlaps with hers in some ways and with hakozaki's in some ways and completely diverges from both in others. i think it would be good for both of them and i would like to see it.

#i also want beniko to hang out with tanuma. though maybe after her grief is a little less fresh. because that will be #emotionally devastating for her probably #like oh here's a guy who made a completely different decision than you when faced with someone who could see things he couldn't see #and is reaping the rewards of the intimacy and friendship that result from that decision #the intimacy that you never had with your grandfather. that you could have had if you had chosen differently #<-is maybe how she would see it though obviously hakozaki and natsume are very different. natsume is trying harder for one thing #natsume's book of friends #my posts #natsume yuujinchou #hakozaki arc #yorishima #i'm thinking of this right now because of s07e06 but it's informed by ch 120
