[Action: Today, you may find Kyon sitting around in the park in the afternoon, dressed warmly so he doesn't catch a cold.]

... Snow. ... Yuki.

I wonder how Nagato is doing? ... And Koizumi, and Miss Asahina. Even that idiot, Taniguchi... How long has it even been since I saw most of them? Other than Nagato, it was probably last Christmas now, huh...

(Speaking of who I haven't seen, I didn't see Shamisen around anywhere this morning. It's odd considering how he normally stays around the house. ... Also, it's really damn cold out. I guess if there's nothing else to do here for now, I should head back to the house.)

[Phone: After arriving home, he finds that the power is out. Also, the clubroom computer is missing from his room. He decides to go and try the phone...]

Oi oi, is the phone working? The lights and everything all seem to be out. My PC is missing from my room too.
(Well, the SOS Brigade's PC... Or rather, the Computer Club's PC which Haruhi stole from them. Semantics aren't really relevant for the moment though!)
Not to mention the fact that I haven't seen my cat around anywhere today. Is it just me, or is something odd going down again?

Well, hopefully it'll be short-lived. It would be really bad if everyone caught colds before Christmas...

Yeah, I mean sure... It's winter and all, but does it have to be this damn cold?

And the power too... it would be okay if we could warm ourselves in our houses, but...

The power is wonky too, huh? That'll be fun to put up with.

I, um... don't think that it sounds fun at all... but what do I know?

Did the city forget to pay its power bill, do you think? Can power bills work that way?

(... Note to self: Ease up on the sarcasm sometimes.)

They're probably just trying to mess with us like they always do.

They do this all of the time? But... I thought Mayfield was "the perfect place to live"! The drones say stuff like that, at least...

Lies and propaganda, I'm afraid. In reality, it's more like some kind of hell for most people.

I see... well, that's stupid...

[ Great summary there, Satou. ]

Have you been here for very long?

Over a year now. Hopefully this Christmas fares better than last one.

Was last Christmas no good?

Let me put it this way... If any mysterious mailboxes turn up, don't even think about writing a letter to Santa Claus.

Um, okay... It's not like it would matter with me.

Did something happen to the letters last year?

Santa Claus came along and for all the people whose letters he received, whether they were naughty or nice, he gave them their Christmas wishes. ... In the most distorted and horrific interpretation possible.

Th-that's horrible! It sounds like Mayfield needs a new Santa Claus...!

Honestly, the best course of action is honestly to just try and keep to the side when something is happening and try not to get killed.

P-people get killed?!

Sadly, it has been known to happen.

And you're suggesting that I keep to the side..?

... Just avoid anything that seems dangerous, okay?

... yeah, okay. Sure. [ Just following her definition of "dangerous" ]

Some pretty bad things can tend to happen if you're an ordinary human who isn't careful enough.

You make it sound like there are abnormal humans here. Don't all powers and stuff get taken when you arrive?

Everyone starts off like that, but at time goes by, generally after whatever their latest bout on nonsense is, you'll get what is called a regain. An item or power you had back home.

Is that so? So I have to wait until then?
