• libraries
• muted mashing of a person attempting to eat quietly in a silent room
• others people's book annotations
• seat warmers
• subtly fidgeting while concentrating
• the smell of gasoline
• the smell of water
• the sound and smell of cooking ground beef
• time spent in muji
• tornado sirens
• verbality
• when Loren brushes her teeth in the castle
• when orthodox jews ask if I'm jewish while distributing information on holidays
