TSPA #0021 comic strip in eight oval panels. Ti chairs a formal boardroom meeting with colleagues in business suits. After inviting the team to begin with silence, the group remains deliberately quiet, attentive and reflective. The daylight shifts from warm amber to clear blue as the participants settle into shared attention. Ti then says, 'All right. Now let's begin the meeting.'

## Transcript **Panel 1 - Ti:** "So, let us start the meeting." **Panel 2 - Ti:** "Let's begin with silence. Silence is more powerful than words." **Panels 3-7:** The team remains deliberately silent, attentive and contemplative. **Panel 8 - Ti:** "All right. Now let's begin the meeting." ## Visual details The eight-panel comic takes place in a formal corporate boardroom. Ti chairs the meeting at the centre of a conference table, surrounded by colleagues in professional business attire. After Ti proposes beginning with silence, the next five panels show the team sharing a deliberate pause. Their eyes remain open; subtle changes in expression, posture and eye contact convey attention and reflection rather than confusion or sleepiness. The oval panels and gradual transition from warm, oil-like colours to cooler, acrylic-like daylight reinforce the shift from the bustle of a typical meeting to a calmer, more attentive atmosphere. The final line gently punctures the premise: only after the period of silence does Ti announce that the meeting can begin.
