[00:29] ---
    Are you all right?
    Should I take you to the nurse's office?
[00:37] ---
    Good morning. It looks like
    she's not feeling so well...
[00:41] ---
    Please.
[00:47] ---
    Why didn't you come yesterday?
[00:49] ---
    Weren't we going to review?
[00:52] ---
    Shut up. I held a review session by myself.
[00:56] ---
    Upon asking, she said
    she walked the entire course...
[01:00] ---
    ...that her trio did Saturday
    alone after school yesterday.
[01:03] ---
    It's hot, and I'm tired.
    When do we switch uniforms?
[01:07] ---
    I want the summer one now.
[01:09] ---
    Suzumiya, I may have said this before...
[01:12] ---
    ...but why not quit looking for
    unfindable mysteries...
[01:15] ---
    ...and try recreation
    fit for a normal high schooler?
[01:19] ---
    What's fit for a high schooler?
[01:21] ---
    How about you find a good guy
    and tour the city with him?
[01:25] ---
    A date kills two birds with one stone.
[01:28] ---
    Hmph, I don't care for men at all.
[01:31] ---
    Romantic feelings are just a passing phase.
[01:34] ---
    Just a type of mental illness.
[01:36] ---
    Even I get into those
    sorts of moods every so often.
[01:41] ---
    I'm a healthy girl, so sometimes
    I'm at a loss with my body.
[01:46] ---
    But I'm not an idiot with troubles
    with momentary delusions.
[01:52] ---
    Besides, if I got crazy over boys,
    what about the SOS Brigade?
[01:57] ---
    I just created it.
[01:59] ---
    Just turn it into a random recreational club.
[02:02] ---
    You'd get more people.
[02:04] ---
    No way! I created it
    because those things were boring.
[02:08] ---
    A moe character and
    mysterious transfer student joined...
[02:12] ---
    Why is it nothing is happening?
[02:15] ---
    Why can't some flashy incident or two happen?
[02:19] ---
    Don't make such troubling statements.
[02:22] ---
    But you're right...
[02:24] ---
    An incident that makes everyday life
    more fun might be a bit nice.
[02:33] ---
    Seeing her this beat was a first,
    but her sullen face was rather cute.
[02:38] ---
    I wonder if she's lovesick or something?
[02:41] ---
    There's no way.
[02:43] ---
    Getting her mind up for love and
    the flashy incidents she hopes for...
[02:48] ---
    ...shouldn't occur so easily in this world.
[02:51] ---
    But the flashy incident had already
    quietly started at this time...
[02:58] ---
    The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
[03:07] ---
    During the morning, as I talked to Haruhi...
[03:08] ---
    The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya IV
[03:10] ---
    ...I was toying around
    with an item of pending inquiry.
[03:16] ---
    After school, come by class 5
    after all students leave.
[03:19] ---
    Without an enemy,
    Soga Mako became immensely arrogant.
[03:23] ---
    Something like this happened before.
[03:30] ---
    Yo.
[03:36] ---
    I'll wait at the park across
    Kouyouen Station at 7.
[03:38] ---
    But this was clearly not Nagato's handwriting.
[03:42] ---
    Besides, she's not so meek
    as to put a message in a shoebox.
[03:46] ---
    Could it be Miss Asahina?
[03:49] ---
    I don't think so. I can't believe
    she'd give a message...
[03:52] ---
    ...with no specific time,
    written on a torn memo page.
[03:57] ---
    It's hot!
[03:57] ---
    Haruhi? Even more out there.
[04:00] ---
    If it were, she'd drag me to
    the staircase and talk like before.
[04:04] ---
    I rule out Koizumi for similar reasons.
[04:07] ---
    I'd like AC in this room.
[04:09] ---
    I doubt it's a love letter, but it's
    clearly a note calling me somewhere.
[04:15] ---
    No, it might be a giant joke
    by Taniguchi and Kunikida.
[04:19] ---
    Mikuru Asahina's Charming Photo Gallery
[04:19] ---
    Right, that's likeliest, but if so...
[04:23] ---
    ...I think they'd be more detail-oriented...
[04:26] ---
    Wait, what's that?!
[04:28] ---
    What? It's a photo. Charming photos of Mikuru.
[04:31] ---
    I see that. What's it for?
[04:34] ---
    I'll put it on the top page of our website.
[04:37] ---
    Floods of "Wonders of
    the World" e-mails will come.
[04:40] ---
    We'll get tens of thousands of hits,
    and the counter will roll high!
[04:45] ---
    Are there enough digits?
[04:47] ---
    Wait... Hey!
    What are you doing, stupid Kyon?!
[04:51] ---
    Enough nonsense.
[04:53] ---
    If such a lewd photo of her in
    a maid outfit and "charming" pose...
[04:57] ---
    ...were sent out to the whole world,
    I'm sure she'd faint on the spot.
[05:02] ---
    Haruhi glared coldly as I feverishly
    convinced her (for once)...
[05:07] ---
    ...but I don't know if she
    got the danger of info on the Net...
[05:11] ---
    ...that points out a person in real life.
[05:14] ---
    I get it.
[05:15] ---
    Empty Recycle Bin
[05:15] ---
    She reluctantly agreed to delete it.
[05:18] ---
    This may have been the chance
    to delete all the images...
[05:22] ---
    ...but that's a bit of a shame.
[05:27] ---
    Now.
[05:30] ---
    I'm going home for today.
[05:38] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[05:44] ---
    Is something wrong?
[05:45] ---
    It's nothing. The evil conspiracy
    has been removed.
[05:51] ---
    Doing nothing but
    playing Othello with Miss Asahina...
[05:54] ---
    ...Koizumi came in with the usual smile.
[05:57] ---
    I've got work, so I have to leave early.
[06:01] ---
    I wonder what kind of job he's got.
[06:07] ---
    I'm going to change, so go on ahead.
[06:09] ---
    I took that chance
    and bolted out of the clubroom.
[06:19] ---
    Seeing the person standing there,
    I was caught quite off guard.
[06:27] ---
    Why don't you come in?
[06:29] ---
    It was you?
[06:32] ---
    Yes. Unexpected, right?
[06:35] ---
    What do you want?
[06:36] ---
    It's true I have something on my mind.
[06:39] ---
    There's something that I want to ask.
[06:42] ---
    About Miss Suzumiya...
    What do you think of her?
[06:46] ---
    Sheesh, she's into Suzumiya too...
[06:49] ---
    People say it's better to try
    and regret than to regret not trying.
[06:55] ---
    What do you think of that?
[06:58] ---
    I'm not sure it's said often,
    but it's straightforward.
[07:01] ---
    Then let's say you know you'll be
    dirt poor with the status quo...
[07:08] ---
    ...but you don't know
    how you can make things better.
[07:12] ---
    What would you do?
[07:14] ---
    What's that? Are you talking
    about Japan's economy?
[07:18] ---
    Wouldn't you think about
    changing something, anything?
[07:21] ---
    Nothing will change staying as is.
[07:24] ---
    Well, maybe there is something.
[07:26] ---
    You think so, right?
[07:29] ---
    But people above you
    have stubborn minds and can't agree.
[07:33] ---
    But the site can't let it.
[07:35] ---
    If you twiddle your thumbs,
    things look like they'll get worse.
[07:39] ---
    If so, the people on-site have
    the right to force a change, right?
[07:44] ---
    What's she saying? Is this Candid Camera?
[07:47] ---
    Is Taniguchi hiding in the supply cabinet?
[07:50] ---
    I'm fed up with observing
    something that's unchanging.
[07:54] ---
    So I'll kill you and
    see Haruhi Suzumiya's reaction.
[08:04] ---
    What? What?
[08:05] ---
    What is this? No, wait, what's this situation?
[08:08] ---
    Why does she have to point a knife at me?
[08:11] ---
    Wait, what did she say?
[08:13] ---
    Kill me? W-h-y? Why?
[08:15] ---
    Stop joking! This is really dangerous!
[08:18] ---
    Even if that wasn't real, I'd be scared!
[08:20] ---
    You think it's a joke?
[08:24] ---
    You don't want to die? To be killed?
[08:27] ---
    I really don't understand
    the concept of an organic's death.
[08:31] ---
    I don't get this and can't laugh.
[08:34] ---
    That doesn't matter.
    Put that dangerous thing somewhere else!
[08:37] ---
    That's impossible.
    Because I really want you to die.
[08:47] ---
    It's useless.
[08:49] ---
    This area is now under my information control.
[08:52] ---
    Nothing can enter or leave.
[08:55] ---
    I don't get this at all.
[08:57] ---
    If someone does,
    get here and explain it to me!
[09:00] ---
    Please give up.
    The result will be the same in the end.
[09:05] ---
    What are you?
[09:16] ---
    Useless... I told you.
[09:18] ---
    Everything in this classroom
    moves according to my will now.
[09:22] ---
    Wait, wait, wait... What is this?
[09:24] ---
    Kill me and see Haruhi's reaction?
[09:27] ---
    Haruhi again? She sure is popular.
[09:29] ---
    If so, why do I have to die?
[09:32] ---
    I should have done this from the beginning.
[09:37] ---
    I can't move. Does this count? It's unfair!
[09:39] ---
    If you die, Haruhi Suzumiya
    is sure to cause some action.
[09:44] ---
    A giant information explosion
    will likely be observed.
[09:47] ---
    A once-in-a-lifetime chance.
[09:49] ---
    Like I know!
[09:52] ---
    Now, die.
[09:58] ---
    That hurts, damn it!
[10:00] ---
    Wait... huh?
[10:01] ---
    My body moves...
[10:05] ---
    Nagato?
[10:11] ---
    Each and every program has a fault.
[10:14] ---
    The space closure's sides
    and information shutdown are faulty.
[10:17] ---
    That is why I noticed and am allowed inside.
[10:20] ---
    You're interfering?
[10:22] ---
    If this human is murdered,
    Haruhi Suzumiya is sure to move.
[10:26] ---
    That's the only way to gain any more data.
[10:29] ---
    You are my backup unit.
    You are not permitted to act alone.
[10:34] ---
    You must obey me.
[10:36] ---
    If I refuse?
[10:37] ---
    I will release the binding.
[10:39] ---
    Would you like to try?
    In here, I have the upper hand.
[10:43] ---
    I control the information in this space.
[10:46] ---
    I will file for the release
    of the information binding.
[10:55] ---
    At this point, I thought,
    "Man, these two really aren't human."
[11:07] ---
    Don't leave my side.
[11:10] ---
    Nagato
[11:13] ---
    You can't defeat me here.
[11:17] ---
    Personal name Ryoko Asakura is an enemy.
[11:20] ---
    I release any bindings held on organics.
[11:24] ---
    Stopping your functions will come first.
[11:27] ---
    What are you...
[11:30] ---
    How long will you last, protecting him?
[11:49] ---
    Nagato!
[11:51] ---
    You don't have to move.
[11:53] ---
    I'm fine.
[11:55] ---
    No, you don't look fine at all...
[12:03] ---
    With that damage, you've no luxury
    to meddle with other data.
[12:08] ---
    Then, here's your final blow.
[12:10] ---
    Die.
[12:19] ---
    It's over.
[12:20] ---
    What's that? Your "life" of some three years?
[12:24] ---
    No.
[12:25] ---
    Commence release of information binding.
[12:34] ---
    Impossible...
[12:35] ---
    You are a superior one.
[12:37] ---
    That was why it took this long
    to crack this time-space program.
[12:42] ---
    But it's over now.
[12:44] ---
    You programmed a detonation
    element in your cracking.
[12:48] ---
    I did feel that you were too weak.
[12:51] ---
    You had already spent all your
    attack information beforehand.
[12:54] ---
    Oh, what a shame.
[12:56] ---
    In the end, I was nothing more
    than a backup unit.
[12:59] ---
    I thought this would be
    a good chance to affect our stalemate.
[13:05] ---
    I lose. Aren't you happy you get to live on?
[13:08] ---
    But be careful.
[13:10] ---
    The Information Integration Thought Entity...
[13:12] ---
    ...has many contradictory consciences.
[13:15] ---
    Another radical like me might arrive someday.
[13:19] ---
    Or Miss Nagato's puppet master
    may have a change of heart.
[13:23] ---
    Until then, be happy with Miss Suzumiya.
[13:26] ---
    See you!
[13:30] ---
    Hey, Nagato!
[13:32] ---
    Hang on! I'll get an ambulance!
[13:34] ---
    It's all right.
    The physical injuries are not much.
[13:37] ---
    I need to correct
    this space first and foremost...
[13:41] ---
    That is, remove the impurities
    and recreate the classroom.
[13:53] ---
    You're really all right?
[13:55] ---
    The processing power
    is handling and overwriting data...
[13:59] ---
    ...so this interface's re-creation will come later.
[14:03] ---
    It's going now.
[14:05] ---
    What's wrong?
[14:09] ---
    I forgot to re-create the glasses.
[14:11] ---
    I think you're cuter without them.
[14:14] ---
    I don't have a "glasses fixation."
[14:16] ---
    What's a "glasses fixation"?
[14:18] ---
    Nothing. Just a figment of your imagination.
[14:22] ---
    I see.
[14:23] ---
    Hey...
[14:25] ---
    I forgot... I forgot...
[14:29] ---
    Father, if you saw this still frame...
[14:31] ---
    ...our position isn't too far
    from going down for some "activity."
[14:35] ---
    Sorry.
[14:36] ---
    Take your time!
[14:38] ---
    An interesting person.
[14:41] ---
    What'll I do?
[14:43] ---
    Leave it to me.
    I'm adept at controlling information.
[14:47] ---
    I'll have Ryoko Asakura transfer out.
[14:49] ---
    That?
[14:50] ---
    No time for snide remarks.
[14:52] ---
    Thinking about it, didn't I have
    an extraordinary experience?
[14:56] ---
    Whether I believe Nagato's loony story...
[14:59] ---
    ...those incomprehensible delusions,
    isn't the problem.
[15:03] ---
    What just happened showed me
    how serious danger really felt.
[15:07] ---
    Five seconds from death.
[15:09] ---
    At this rate, I'll be convinced
    that Nagato is an alien...
[15:12] ---
    ...or involved in some way with them.
[15:17] ---
    Well, about Miss Asakura...
[15:17] ---
    The next day, Ryoko Asakura
[15:19] ---
    Her father's job obligations came up...
[15:19] ---
    was nowhere to be found in class.
[15:22] ---
    I think it was sudden too.
    She ended up transferring out.
[15:29] ---
    Kyon, this is an incident.
[15:31] ---
    Haruhi, all full of energy again,
    had a glimmer in her eye.
[15:35] ---
    What now? Tell the truth?
[15:39] ---
    I can't. Or rather, I don't want to.
[15:42] ---
    I'd like to think everything
    was just a hallucination.
[15:46] ---
    I thought a mysterious transfer came...
[15:48] ---
    ...and now a girl transferred for no reason.
[15:51] ---
    We need to investigate.
[15:54] ---
    I don't want any more extra work.
[15:56] ---
    Even without this, I'm cradling
    another item of pending inquiry.
[16:00] ---
    What's that?
[16:02] ---
    Nothing.
[16:03] ---
    The inquiry was in the shape of an envelope...
[16:06] ---
    ...inside my shoebox,
    just like yesterday's note.
[16:09] ---
    What's up? Is putting letters
    into people's shoeboxes a fad now?
[16:13] ---
    But it's different this time around.
[16:16] ---
    Mikuru Asahina
[16:18] ---
    During lunch, I'll be waiting in the clubroom.
    - Mikuru
[16:19] ---
    I don't want to saunter there
[16:21] ---
    and face another life-or-death situation.
[16:24] ---
    But there's no way I wouldn't go.
[16:27] ---
    Because it was Miss Asahina calling.
[16:30] ---
    There's no proof she was the letter's sender...
[16:34] ---
    ...but I had no doubt.
[16:36] ---
    She's the type that'd be so roundabout...
[16:39] ---
    ...and the sight of rushing a pen
    over this cute letter set fits her.
[16:45] ---
    Besides, Nagato will be there now too.
[16:48] ---
    Well, I'm sure it'll work out.
[16:51] ---
    Oh, come in!
[16:54] ---
    Kyon...
[16:57] ---
    It's been a while.
[16:59] ---
    She looks a lot like Miss Asahina.
[17:02] ---
    But it wasn't Miss Asahina.
[17:05] ---
    Um, are you Miss Asahina's older sister?
[17:10] ---
    I am me.
[17:11] ---
    The real Mikuru Asahina.
[17:13] ---
    But I come from a future
    further down than the me you know.
[17:18] ---
    I wanted to see you.
[17:20] ---
    Oh, you don't trust me, do you?
[17:23] ---
    I'll prove it.
[17:24] ---
    See? I have a star-shaped mole here.
[17:28] ---
    It's not fake. Want to touch it?
[17:31] ---
    Huge!
[17:31] ---
    Believe me now?
[17:33] ---
    Believe it or not, I don't remember
    where Miss Asahina's moles are.
[17:37] ---
    I only saw such iffy parts
    when she cosplayed as a bunny girl...
[17:42] ---
    ...and when I peeked in on her changing.
[17:45] ---
    In any case, I hadn't observed any such details.
[17:49] ---
    Oh? But it was you who said I had a mole here.
[17:53] ---
    I didn't realize myself.
[17:57] ---
    Oh no, just now...
[17:59] ---
    Oh, that's right. This isn't yet...
[18:02] ---
    What now?
[18:04] ---
    It's a huge misunderstanding... I'm sorry!
[18:07] ---
    Forget that!
[18:08] ---
    So she says...
[18:10] ---
    All right. I believe you anyway.
[18:13] ---
    I'm in a mind-set now
    that can believe almost anything.
[18:18] ---
    That means there are two
    Miss Asahinas in this time?
[18:24] ---
    Right, the past one...
[18:26] ---
    From my view, my past self...
[18:29] ---
    ...is eating lunch with
    classmates in the classroom now.
[18:33] ---
    I just wanted to say one thing to you...
[18:35] ---
    ...so I asked the impossible
    and came to this time again.
[18:39] ---
    I had Miss Nagato step out.
[18:42] ---
    Miss Asahina, you know about Nagato?
[18:45] ---
    Sorry, classified information.
[18:48] ---
    Oh, it's been a while since I said that.
[18:51] ---
    I just heard it a few days ago.
[18:57] ---
    I can't stay in this time
    much longer, so I'll be brief.
[19:02] ---
    Do you know about Snow White?
[19:04] ---
    Of course I do...
[19:06] ---
    Whenever you face
    a troubling situation from now on...
[19:10] ---
    ...I want you to recall that.
[19:12] ---
    Seven dwarves, wicked witch,
    poisoned apple, and all that?
[19:16] ---
    Right. The story of Snow White.
[19:19] ---
    I just had a troubling situation yesterday.
[19:22] ---
    That's not the one. It's more...
[19:25] ---
    Let's see... I can't give any details...
[19:28] ---
    ...but when the time comes,
    Miss Suzumiya should be by you.
[19:32] ---
    Me and Haruhi? When? Where?
[19:35] ---
    Miss Suzumiya might not
    consider it troublesome...
[19:41] ---
    ...but it's something troubling,
    not just for you but all of us.
[19:46] ---
    I guess giving me the details...
    is out of the question.
[19:50] ---
    I'm sorry.
[19:52] ---
    But I thought I'd give you a hint.
    This is the best that I can do.
[19:56] ---
    And that's Snow White?
[19:59] ---
    Right.
[20:01] ---
    I'll keep that in mind.
[20:09] ---
    I'm amazed I could wear this.
    Now it would be impossible.
[20:14] ---
    What other kinds of outfits
    did Haruhi make you wear?
[20:18] ---
    That's a secret. It's embarrassing.
[20:21] ---
    Besides, won't you find out in due time?
[20:24] ---
    Well, I'll be on my way now.
[20:30] ---
    One last thing...
[20:33] ---
    Don't be too friendly with me.
[20:36] ---
    Can you tell me one thing?
[20:40] ---
    Miss Asahina...
[20:41] ---
    ...how old are you now?
[20:44] ---
    Classified information.
[20:46] ---
    That was a smile that'd make
    anyone who saw it fall in love.
[20:54] ---
    It's been a while.
[20:55] ---
    In other words,
    she's playing a high schooler now...
[20:59] ---
    ...and will return to her original era
    in the not-so-distant future.
[21:03] ---
    How much time had elapsed for her?
[21:07] ---
    From how she matured,
    five or maybe three years?
[21:10] ---
    Women change drastically once they graduate.
[21:14] ---
    I'm hungry. I'd better get back.
[21:17] ---
    Oh, brother.
[21:19] ---
    Yo, did you pass by someone
    who looked awfully like Miss Asahina?
[21:24] ---
    Mikuru Asahina from another time.
    We met this morning.
[21:28] ---
    Can you time travel or something too?
[21:31] ---
    That Information thing too?
[21:33] ---
    I cannot, but traveling through time
    is not that difficult to do.
[21:38] ---
    I'd sure like some tips.
[21:41] ---
    Words cannot explain the concept,
    nor can you understand it.
[21:45] ---
    Is that so?
[21:46] ---
    It is.
[21:47] ---
    Then I'm at a loss.
[21:49] ---
    A loss.
[21:50] ---
    Nagato, thanks for yesterday.
[21:53] ---
    Unnecessary.
[21:54] ---
    Ryoko Asakura's deviant behavior
    was my responsibility and failure.
[22:00] ---
    I think you're better without glasses after all.
[22:08] ---
    Where were you? I thought you'd
    be back and waited without eating!
[22:12] ---
    Say it like a childhood friend
    hiding chagrin with anger.
[22:16] ---
    Enough nonsense. Over here now!
[22:18] ---
    I heard Okabe in the teacher's lounge...
[22:20] ---
    ...saying no one knew
    about Asakura till this morning.
[22:24] ---
    Someone claiming to be
    her father called early...
[22:27] ---
    ...saying he was suddenly moving. And where?
[22:30] ---
    Canada! Can that be? It's very fishy!
[22:33] ---
    Yeah?
[22:34] ---
    So I asked to get a contact address.
[22:37] ---
    And guess what? They didn't know that either.
[22:40] ---
    You at least give a forwarding address.
    Something's behind this!
[22:44] ---
    No way.
[22:45] ---
    I kept on grilling
    till I got her old address.
[22:48] ---
    I'll go there after school.
[22:51] ---
    I may find something out!
[22:54] ---
    As usual, she never listens.
    Well, I won't stop her.
[22:59] ---
    They're her vain efforts, not mine.
[23:01] ---
    You're coming.
[23:02] ---
    Why?
[23:06] ---
    You call yourself a member of the SOS Brigade?
[23:10] ---
    Today's SOS Brigade: Do as you please.
    - Haruhi
[23:20] ---
    If we figured out the globe
    like we would a riddle...
[23:26] ---
    ...we could all go anywhere together.
[23:29] ---
    To the end of time, BOOOON!
[23:32] ---
    This feeling that is a warp and a loop.
[23:36] ---
    With an imagination that engulfs
    anything and everything, let's play.
[23:42] ---
    Something on one sunny day,
    more fun than any magic possible...
[23:50] ---
    ...endlessly pours down. It's not impossible.
[23:56] ---
    When we meet again tomorrow,
    we're all humming as we smile.
[24:01] ---
    Let's gather happiness. Such a thing is so easy.
[24:06] ---
    Chase after me. Try to catch it.
[24:11] ---
    A big dream... You like dreams, right?
