---> In spite of herself, Haruhi smiled. It wasn't quite what she originally had in mind when she was looking for people who were different from 'normal'. She'd thought initially that playing with time travelers, aliens, espers, sliders.... Well, she'd originally thought that having fun would involve using their powers a lot.

--->'''Kyon's father:''' Fixed up Kyon? When did he get broken down?
--->'''Imouto:''' In middle school. He lost his smile for a really long time. Didn't you notice? But it doesn't matter -- Haru-nee-san made him find it again!
