27th sigh - Second verse, same as the first

[slave_of_suzumiya]

[At 915 Bilko Boulevard, Kyon awakens completely unaware of the fact he's been gone a month...]

(... I didn't leave my room like this last night. Hold it... Is this even the same room? Let's see if I can get some bearings here... Is it even the same house!? Ugh, stupid Mayfield geography... Identical streets... What the hell is going on here?)

[To the phones!]

Hey uh, what the heck is going on here? I'm pretty sure I wasn't in this house yesterday. Ugh, stupid Mayfield...

So you remember this place? And me too right?

We thought you were gone for good. I even...

Well, it's good to have you back.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Yeah, that's right Aaron.

Didn't even realise I was gone until people started saying "Welcome back".

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

And you're in a different house?

So, did you go home or...

[[Well, he had theories but none of them were good. Aaron was hoping for the going home option.]]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I don't seem to recall going anywhere. It's like I just time travelled a month into the future.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Wow. I was worried when you vanished, and I kind of worried that you'd come back without your memories if you did come back at all.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right, I remember Nagato mentioning me not having any memory of my previous time here when I... well, for lack of a better term, first arrived.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you did mention that before. I wonder if there is any reason for how they do... well what they do.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Who knows? It's hard to find any kind of logic in most of what the town does.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Still, they like giving us scares I guess.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Yeah, that's one definite factor.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

So, how many people have you talked to? A lot of people missed you.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

About three or four so far?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

That's good. Maybe some of them will cheer up a little with you back.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, I guess so.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

So, you're in a new house? Meet your new housemates yet?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Not yet. Suppose it'll happen soon though.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Good luck.

If it's too bad I'm sure we can give you crash space for a couple nights every so often.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right, I'll keep that in mind.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

Oh, were you ever part of the Defense Association?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I've heard of it, but I never really got involved.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I joined, though it's been a bit shakey.

I hope it lasts better than the other groups.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right, it's tricky getting those things properly coordinated, huh?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

And it's hard to know what the town is going to throw at you.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right, it's practically unpredictable.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I wish I even had a clue what I could do instead of having to figure it out when it happens.

I am hoping to do better next time.
