In "Pushing the Limits" by Katie McGarry, a character reflects on a somewhat awkward conversation. They express surprise at someone's knowledge of math, comparing it to making an obvious observation about someone's hair color. This highlights the frequency of needlessly stating the obvious in social interactions.
This moment illustrates a broader theme of connectivity and communication among characters. It emphasizes how tricky it can be to navigate conversations and form meaningful connections, as well as the tendency for individuals to overlook subtleties in others' skills and traits.
