About Natsume Yujin-cho the Movie: Ephemeral Bond:
A kind yet sad lie was told.

Natsume has been busy, navigating between humans and yokai when he coincidentally reunites with an old classmate, Yuki.

The reunion brings back painful memories of a certain yokai. Meanwhile, Natsume also becomes acquainted with Yorie Tsumura, a woman in the memories of a yokai whose name Natsume had returned. Yorie knows much about Reiko, and now lives a peaceful life with her only son, Mukuo. Interacting with this family is comforting for Natsume, but a mysterious yokai has been lurking in their town. On the way back from investigating, a “yokai seed” that had latched itself to Nyanko-sensei drops into the Fujiwara Family's garden and grows overnight into a fruit tree.

When Nyanko-sensei eats a fruit that is somewhat shaped like himself, he suddenly splits into three!
