I think that air is not something you read, but something that you inhale and exhale.

From TV drama series "Nagi's Long Vacation"

 

 

From TBS drama series  (the original: Misato Konari, the screenplay: Satomi Oshima, broadcast on July 19). A woman, who has been hurt by the atmosphere in the workplace and SNS reaction and finally fainted due to hyperventilation, left the company to reset herself and moved to the suburbs. And, she talked back like the title to her boyfriend, who chased her in spite of treating her conveniently. She added that the atmosphere made people difficult to breathe, so she would act on her will so as not to be crushed by it.
