Takeru would probably say that and try to make his 'niece' figure out why she felt that way. And then try to convince her to be a bit less like Makoto.
Riko's aunt (Riko means "Truth Child") is just a tad sensitive herself, though not at the seeing things level. Her Ganma ancestor was from way too many generations ago. She'd get Riko to do her best to support Chiyo because she figures that Chiyo might be a spirit's child (as she would think of it) and need someone to be there for her. Which may end up with either a close friendship or an asexual relationship. (Chiyo would not want to pass on her Ganma genes anyway.)
-- "Are you all right?" Riko asked. She'd been there when the man had arrived at Chiyo's uncle's temple, sweeping in and asking Chiyo's mother if "this" had been the result of her "gestation" (an awfully scientific word, to be honest). Chiyo's mother had not answered. Chiyo had torn out of there, followed by Riko.
"No." They were in some kind of basement, and Chiyo was sobbing. Riko held her, unsure of what to do. "I hate this! I hate the Ganma."
Riko hated the Ganma herself, but even more so for what the man's - Ganma's, aparently - visit was doing to Chiyo. She'd picked up some things that Chiyo's family thought they were not mentioning to outsiders, and how much all of this was causing Chiyo to increasingly hate herself.
"And he could be my father." That sentence was half-muffled by sobs, but Riko understood. She held Chiyo closer, still not knowing what to do other than hold her and be there for her.
