30th: The Study of Haruhi Suzumiya

[Action Part 1: 15th -> 20th]

[Following her break up, Haruhi didn't tell anymore. Not explicitly. She didn't see Winry either, didn't go the Smithy, didn't go the Hughes house, and has yet to use any of the relationship cards she has left (why would she? Most of the ones she has are just inane things anyway... maybe she will in time). Instead, she just hits the books in the library hard. Studying absolutely everything she can find about magic, alchemy, or other superpowers which she hopes/wills to be learnable through effort on her part. She's even trying to practice some of the stuff she finds in there, though with limited success due to how foul her mood is.

This sets the stage for her whole week, really. Wake up, make breakfast out of habit, go the library, study obsessively, and when she can't study anymore (around the actual meeting times in the early afternoon) she goes and hangs out at the SOS-Brigade's HQ, nominally to check out how people are doing with preparations for the cultural festival. But he heart isn't really in it, not yet. She hopes it'll be there again before the day of. Anyway, from there, skip lunch, maybe go to All Passions, then back to the library until she comes home to House 10 quite late. Snack thing at about 10PM, go to sleep, repeat.]

[Action Part 2: 22nd]

[A certain voice message is what totally breaks her out of her stupor. Because frankly (and she knows unfairly) the idea of Winry going out drinking (probably celebrating her singleness with that bitch) while she's stuck with just being frustrated on her day just pisses her off. She doesn't even want to spend her day with Winry right now, which is why despite them agreeing to meet on Sundays she made absolutely no effort to run into her. ...It's not that Haruhi's stupid. She knows Winry is upset too, and she knows that the other girl won't be celebrating. But it's so much easier to be mad than it is to be miserable. It's for that reason she attempts her longest teleportation yet that that night, going all the way from the library up to the roof of House 10. And she's going to just be sitting there on the roof of House 10 all night, looking up at the sky. Trying to be right again.

It's eerily similar, to anyone who has been here long enough to remember, to Haruki's reaction to Kyonko going home, actually. She promises that this is the last night to herself. She'll be better after this. Because moping (yes, she has been moping, hasn't she) like she has been is stupid anyway.]

['For Haruhi, oone day of melancholy isn't too abnormal. Considering I figured it might be all about the stupid starfish and Kaname -- who can tell? Really, anything at all -- and that it's really not my responsibility to worry about this anyway, I let yesterday pass by without comment.

However, a lengthy bad mood is bad news for everyone. So here we go.'

After the Brigade meeting, he inveigles his way into her presence.]

Hey, Haruhi.
