[ Though Komaeda's not the first one to call it such. It isn't quite fair when every little sound and vibration is enough to tip him off. Komaeda was one of the people whose paces and small little tells he knew best, and he's more comfortable around him than most for that reason alone. There's a hint of a frown as the screen is suddenly obstructed. He sets the tablet down on his lap before lifting it up, tilting his head to each side and flipping it over.
He wants to point out that the other could just listen, but then, he's learned over time that clarity is something that he needs to work on. It's difficult after spending so much time around people who intuitively understood him. But though he couldn't do that, Komaeda is both better at reading him and puts forth more effort than the majority. So, his efforts are rewarded. After turning it over a few times, he answers the question by setting it down on top off the tablet with the happy side up. Not that it matters, given that he's already diving under it. But... Ranger doesn't dislike that. ]
