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...

[eyesofaserpent]

Sorry, I meant it was bound to happen that April and I would get spawn here eventually. Not you specifically, just in general.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Oh, right. Of course.

[eyesofaserpent]

[He watches him with his yellow snake eyes, not blinking very often.]

Have you been in Mayfield long?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

At least over half a year.

[eyesofaserpent]

Longer than I have...

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Once you've been here long enough, it all kind of seems the same. Boring fifties, boring fifties, horrible death and destruction, boring fifties...

[eyesofaserpent]

I know someone who'd appreciate it being the fifties. And I've fortunately avoided death and destruction so far.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well personally, I much prefer living in the 21st century myself.

[eyesofaserpent]

I do too. I rather miss my flat.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I almost even miss the Brigade Clubroom.

(... Well, despite Haruhi's constant trouble, it does get points for having Miss Asahina in her maid outfit.)

[eyesofaserpent]

And going to the Ritz. [With Aziraphale. Details.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, I suppose reminiscing isn't going to do any good anyway.

[eyesofaserpent]

No, it isn't. One day I'll get back to London, though...

[slave_of_suzumiya]

London, huh? So you're British then.

[eyesofaserpent]

Not exactly. I just take residence there.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Ah.

[Glances at the cup of coffee.]

I guess that explains why you're not drinking tea instead.

[eyesofaserpent]

Well, I drink tea too. I just prefer coffee in the morning.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Ah, right. That makes sense too.

[eyesofaserpent]

[Speaking of coffee, he takes a sip.]

So you must be in high school... From...?

[He narrows his eyes a bit, scrutinizing Kyon.]

Japan, I take it?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Yeah, that's right. I'm from a town in the Hyogo prefecture.

[eyesofaserpent]

You know, it's been so long since I've been to Japan, I have no idea where that is.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, it's not too far away from Osaka.

[eyesofaserpent]

Oh! Gotcha.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right.

[eyesofaserpent]

Right, er... I suppose you'll be wanting to find your friends after being out for a month...
