Natsume's Book of Friends season 4 episode 8, titled "The Time I Hesitated," follows the continuing journey of Takashi Natsume, a high school student with the unique ability to see spirits and monsters invisible to others. Natsume has inherited a powerful book from his grandmother, Reiko, which contains the names of countless spirits who were either saved or defeated by Reiko during her lifetime. With this book, Natsume can command these spirits as his own and use them to help other spirits in need.

In this episode, Natsume is requested by a spirit named Mogu to find and return a precious item that was stolen from him. The item in question is a small, brown egg that Mogu claims is incredibly important to him. Despite not knowing what the egg's significance is, Natsume agrees to help Mogu and sets out on a journey to find the thief.

As Natsume travels with Mogu through the forest, he reflects on a time in his past when he hesitated to help a spirit in need. This spirit was being tormented by a group of mischievous spirits, and Natsume had the power to stop them. However, he hesitated to act, unsure of his own abilities and the potential consequences of interfering in the spirits' affairs. In the end, the spirit was able to take care of itself, but Natsume was left with a sense of regret and guilt for not doing more.

Natsume's journey with Mogu is not an easy one, as they encounter many obstacles along the way. They are chased by hostile spirits, fall into a pit, and come across a strange shrine filled with ominous symbols. Despite all of this, Natsume is determined to find the stolen egg and help Mogu get it back.

As the episode progresses, Natsume learns more about the significance of the egg and why Mogu is so desperate to retrieve it. He also confronts his own hesitations and doubts, gaining a new sense of confidence in his abilities to help spirits in need.

Overall, "The Time I Hesitated" is a powerful episode that explores the complex emotions of regret, guilt, and hesitation that can arise when trying to navigate the complicated world of spirits and monsters. Through Natsume's journey with Mogu, viewers are reminded of the importance of trust, determination, and never giving up on a worthy cause.
