The Contemplation of Haruhi Suzumiya - Part 4
We are inside a closed space. No Celestials roam. It's very dark.
"Bus Stop!" yelled Haruhi.
"Train Station!" yelled Sasaki.
"Bus Stop!" yelled Haruhi.
"Train Station!" yelled Sasaki.
Everytime Haruhi said, "Bus Stop", one streetlamp rose from the ground in front of her. The lamp would first crack open the big gray mass of concrete, and lift itself out of the ground. Finally, the bulb would start shining light onto the Earth.
Everytime Sasaki said, "Train Station", a menagerie of streetlamps were produced. Yet no rails seem to appear.
"You know what they're doing?" asked one girl behind my back.
I turned around, and I saw the face of Tachibana Kyouko. She's the esper for Team Sasaki, I suppose.
"They are filling the universe with stars," replied one boy behind my back.
I turned 180 degrees once more, and sure enough, there was Koizumi Itsuki. He's the esper for Team Haruhi.
"Do you think they are real?" asked Tachibana.
"Nope. They are just figurative representations of Haruhi and Sasaki. Ghosts in my brain." I replied.
"Well, we aren't ghosts," said Tachibana. "We have entered your closed spaces. In other words, you have the potential to be a divine figure."
"Oh no. Nevermind this. I do not want the center of attention to be me."
"Kyon, speaking seriously, what would you want to do right now? If you had any powers?" asked Koizumi.
I would like some light.
As soon as the thought crossed my mind, it happened.
The sky is light blue, the concrete has been replaced by green grass, and flowers abound.
But now everyone is gone.
I need to wake up. Fast. From this ridiculous closed space. The flowers, grass, and sun mean nothing if I don't have my friends.
But wait. The sun?
Haruhi! Help!
Help me Haruhi!
The sun stood there in the sky. I saw no moon in the sky, just the sun and zero clouds.
Suzumiya?
Day turned into night, with no stars in the sky.
"Hello there Kyon."
"Hi. Who are you?" I asked hesitantly.
"Day Suzumiya. I represent the sun and the stars simultaneously."
Day's face looked exactly the same as Haruhi's. However, her hair was a bit longer and ended with a single braid. She was surrounded by a ghostly white aura that illuminated the ground below her feet.
"What?"
"I am Haruhi's older sister."
"I don't believe that."
"You don't have to. This is a dream."
I woke up suddenly. Still in the hospital. This time the nurses had to check my vital signs such as blood pressure and oxygen levels. Medications were passed around. Meals were served. This place was a well oiled machine, but I wanted out. I knew that Koizumi's offer was the best deal. If I could prove to The Organization that I had esper powers hidden inside my brain, I would no longer have to stay at this hospital. I called Koizumi immediately.
