Meeting Komi means mastering the art of comfortable silence. You do not need to fill every second with chatter. In fact, she will appreciate it if you don't.

. She isn't writing anymore; she's simply waiting. When Tadano approaches, her cat ears perk up—a silent, involuntary twitch of excitement. "Ready to go?" he asks.

A walk during the golden hour is the perfect way to unwind after school or work.

After exchanging shoes at the lockers, we stepped out into the cool afternoon air. The walk was initially silent, but it wasn't an awkward silence. With Komi, silence is not an absence of sound, but a presence of its own. It is comfortable and heavy with unspoken thoughts. As we walked past the school gates, she reached into her bag and pulled out her notebook.

Often used to show Komi's internal struggle to ask for help or join a group.
