Like others, I am puzzled by the idea of nonessential but tying things together. I suppose it scene that could be written around but is primarily there to inform.
The following scene is from the early portion of "Konbini Idol," and sets up characterization for two MCs and rational why Ume is looking for a girlfriend when she is married.

@NaraMoore@sakurajima.moe I think nonessential in this context means a scene that could be axed without changing the overall plot and message, but acts to set mood, pace, or some other unquantifiables.
As a movie example: Hayao Miyazaki is famous for this in his animated movies. He uses many still scenes, food scenes or scenes where the characters are just traveling. These could all be cut or waved away for a tighter run time or an expanded action, and they wouldn’t harm “the plot” for not being there. But they’re important for giving the audience, plot, and world time to breath and often allow the music and imagery to set the mood up for the upcoming beat in the story.
