So the POV character is watching two friends flirt and he's pretending to be
asleep. When one of them says "I can read the mood", I don't see why he'd use
読んじゃう over 読める for example.

question
て-form sentence
Why is ちゃう used without negative connotation in the following sentence?
I think there is a sense of doing something without even
trying/meaning/thinking. 空気読める is kind of neutral in this regard.

> 空気読んじゃうんだよね  
>  It's because (without even trying) I end up reading the mood, y'know?

It could also have a negative connotation like "(I don't even want to but /
regrettably) I end up reading the mood" which doesn't seem to be the case
given the previous clause.

Grammatically
