Summary
When Takashi dies, he dies young, like his grandmother and his parents. He is eighteen years old and newly graduated from high school. He takes a year off before going to college. He loves his home far too much to abandon it so easily.
When Takashi dies, he comes home.
The yōkai no longer speak about Natsume Reiko.
Or, wherein, death is not the end for Natsume Takashi, though it is the end for his family and friends.

Summary
[“Sometimes,” Tanuma murmurs, “I think he’s still alive. I turn around but no one’s there.” He leans against Tooru. Their spines curve into the grooves of the tree.
Taki dips her head down and scuffs a foot against the dirt. Her legs extend fully. “Sometimes,” she mimics, “I set up circles. It’s silly. As if that one day Natsume will step into it and I could see him again.” She pauses with a wry smile. “As if he ended up a yōkai. I know that’s not how it works.”]
An exploration of the yōkai Natsume Takashi with Tanuma Kaname and Taki Tooru.

Summary
An exploration of how Fujiwara Touko (and her husband) deals with the loss of her son and learns to recover.
[Fujiwara Touko plants her love deep into the earth, where no man or animal can dig it up. From her hands, a dizzying array of seeds of all sizes and colors scatter. The earth greedily swallows all that which she offers. The earth knows greed but it, too, knows when to nourish and so these seeds crack open and sprout.
She reveres the garden.]
