I thought what if Komi Shouko was part of the 40. That would be either kinda funny and kinda depressing depending on how you want to play it. Like she is already about to explode from anxiety being in a 70 foot radius of another sentient being, now she has been kidnapped and put among 40 other people including a wolf and a ghost. Nobody would have any idea why tf she is staying silent for no apparent through all of this (some may even suspect her to be on the kidnapper's side if you REALLY wanna go mean). And then they decide to use braincells and give her a notepad to write on but y'know.
And of course when she learns Saiki is psychic and practically bursts with relief ''Omg, someone I can communicate with perfectly without opening my mouth. Where have you been my entire life?''(thought with stars in her eyes). I would want to know what Saiki's reaction would be to her now following him like a lost puppy since I only read a few chapters of Saiki K.
That’s kind of how I would honestly see it too. And yes, a cruel (but imaginative) part of me would have some of the characters insinuate that she might be working with the kidnapper, but of course the characters like Tohru would stand up for her.
BUT!
I was thinking through this and I honestly could see SAIKI of people actually stepping up to the plate and giving Komi a notepad to write on. Hey, he may be an introvert who wants to be left alone, but he’s not going to just stand by while someone is suffering a circumstance outside of their control.
And heck, even before Komi actually learns that Saiki can read her mind, since Saiki can, and thus is able to know and interpret her writing of what she really wants, Komi would cling to him like glue as she see him as the only person who really understands her.
As for Saiki’s reaction, at first he would be annoyed of having to deal with “another problem”, but he wouldn’t be so harsh to push her away. If anything, I could see them gradually building a friendship with each other, which I honestly find really sweet. 🥰🥰🥰
