The sun was finally setting, and for some reason, that illicited a great big sigh from me. I wasn't sure if it was a sigh of exhaustion, or relief. It went without saying that our troubles were far from over, and we were going to continue to be persued no matter what, but this seemed to be a rare moment where we could actually relax and forget about everything.
"Kyon."
It had been an eventful day to say the least, and to be honest, I wouldn't blame my legs if they decided to simply disconnect themselves from my body after all the abuse that's been put upon them in the past 24 hours. The empty train seemed to be a good place to just rest them for a while, taking us to our predetermined destination.
"Kyon!"
When I get back, I need to have a word with that Koizumi. Going to these lengths and arranging for this, while neither of us have any idea what's actually going on.

My job is to get you as far away as possible. If that sort of thing was easy to say, I would have said it already. For now though, she would have to be kept as in the dark as she possibly could be.
"Sorry. I'll tell you later, if it's possible. For now, just rest up." She didn't seem very thrilled to hear that type of excuse, but what else could I do?
Haruhi sighed. "Fine." A beat passed. "...by the way..."
