I can't get over how this is the first time that seiji sounds so defeated (while also revealing a different, unfortunate side of being a matoba heir)... the animators and suwajun really came in to whack me in the head one by one when I'm still reeling from reading this scene in the manga 😭

#like. he didn't even realize that he's talking about something so personal. that he's freely unloading a weight that's been #lingering for what must've been YEARS on his mind... all because he got a single loquat. in front of natsume of all people #it almost feels like he doesn't allow himself to feel and/or think about the upsetting parts of being a heir until he was forced to do so #he's really just one lonely guy. makes me wonder if being a matoba also affects his social relationship outside of the exorcist community?#that would help to explain why he's “insistant” in being close to shuuichi and offering help. he's not just looking for an ally (or rival)#when someone of his age came around. he's probably isolated around adults all the time. and look at what being born as a matoba did to him #when he reached out to others for the first time (even if it wasn't the most genuine attempt with “i'm looking for someone useful” line)#actually want to pass out thinking about how at their very core... seiji and shuuichi couldn't know each other better because of themselves #as in: seiji seemed like he had “given up” to be anything more than an ally to shuuichi (judging from the bittersweet acceptance here)#while shuuichi still had the wall of insecurity blocking them from making any earnest relationship because of his wavering worldview #this makes shuuichi taking the first step in fixing that with “a person doesn't have to bear it alone” all the more heartwrenching 😭😭😭#do you think this is the first time that someone offered seiji support! and how it came from a non-matoba... from SHUUICHI of all people 🥲#natsume yuujinchou #natsume yuujinchou s7 #natsume's book of friends #natsuyuu #natsuyuu s7 #matoba seiji #natsuyuu anime
