I’m tired, but my brain kept thinking there was 2 people asking if it was okay to sit in front of two invisible cloaked people, and then just stood there. It took me way to long to realize this was only two people 😅

I, too, find this comic confusing - they seem to be standing rather than sitting, and I can’t make sense of what is behind them

It’s a pole with a strap, for standing passengers (it’s on a bus or train), I believe.
