"it felt like something was amiss." "I felt compelled to cheer for the losing team." "I had the feeling that Haruhi was about to cause a commotion again." "282)\frz(349)\blur1}Incoming:" "Suzumiya Haruhi" "How did I know that?" "the phone." "You don't have to tell me." "I know." "right?" "We're all meeting in front of the station at exactly 2 o'clock." "Make sure you come!" "I didn't even get to say a thing." "What?" "I forgot to tell you what to bring." "Bring your swimming gear and lots of money!" "And make sure you go there on a bike." "Over!" "No thanks." "for some odd reason I have this feeling that I knew exactly what Haruhi was going to say." "that's not it." "I get the feeling that the exact same thing had happened before." "Is this what they call "deja vu"?" "huh?" "385)}Endless Eight" "Kyon!" "You need to show more enthusiasm!" "yeah." "Sorry for making you guys wait." "I just got here too." "let's go!" "To where?" "of course!" "I guess we would be." "we should have summer activities like what other people do in the summer!" "you know?" "That's why we're doing this right now." "This is our once-in-a-lifetime freshman summer vacation!" "we're going to the pool by bike." "Tell me you guys brought your bikes too." "No." "You and I are the only ones who brought bikes." "Kyon?" "You can't lose to Koizumi-kun." "commence take off!" "Here I go" "you guys!" "We came here to have fun!" "Why are you two worn out already?" "Whose fault do you think it is?" "Whose?" "!" "the smell of chlorine!" "This is what it's all about!" "Hurry up and get in!" "The water is nice and warm!" "Can't she see the signs that say "No Diving"?" "doesn't it?" "It's quite a pleasant scene." "it's peaceful." "Don't you think Suzumiya-san may have found a normal way of enjoying things?" "and then hung up on me after stating her one-sided demands." "You can't exactly say that's normal." "Really now." "I'll gladly do it." "there shouldn't be anything happening that will endanger the world." "If only that were true..." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "It's probably just my imagination." "We've been through all sorts of things since spring." "I think I might have become a little neurotic." "It's hot!" "It's hot!" "It's hooooot!" "it'd be more appropriate to call this place a "pool for the masses" than a "pool for the public"." "Why did Haruhi choose this kind of place anyway?" "I'm getting that feeling again." "I feel like I've seen this somewhere before." "Nagato looks like she's bored." "Kyon!" "That's right." "Then Haruhi said something like..." "These two are my brigade members." "They'll listen to everything I say." "So ask them anything!" "let's go have fun!" "We're going to play water soccer!" "okay." "I guess." "Mikuru-chan!" "Okay!" "I came up with an action plan for the rest of summer." "What do you think?" "All of this in less than two weeks." "do you have anything you want to do?" "I would like to scoop up goldfish." "Okay!" "Goldfish scooping it is." "Excuse me." "Thanks." "We'll start tomorrow." "I wonder if there's an Obon festival being held near here." "A fireworks festival would be nice too." "I'll look into it." "Don't forget the goldfish scooping!" "after all." "Understood." "I'm the one paying again... that's it for today!" "That's it for me too." "Me too." "Nagato!" "no." "It's nothing really..." "How've you been feeling lately?" "You okay and everything?" "I'm okay." "That's great." "Yes..." "Why?" "Why did I call out to her?" "The next morning." "from Haruhi." "We've figured out where they're going to have the Obon festival:" "Tonight at the public sports ground. {was "Civic Stadium" in the previous ep though =/}" "We're going to buy yukatas together!" "and then immediately proceeded to drag them into the changing rooms." "the three of them finally returned." "they look great on you girls." "after all." "Especially Mikuru-chan!" "It's so cute!" "Just what I'd expect from myself!" "Y-Yes it is..." "Turning red triples your cuteness!" "huh?" "It attracts quite the crowd." "so why do I get the feeling that I've been here just recently?" "That stage..." "That food stall..." "Mikuru-chan!" "They have the goldfish scooping that you wanted to do over there!" "Let's scoop non-stop!" "Okay." "Shall we do the same?" "How about a little competition?" "I'll pass." "do you want to get something to eat?" "You're interested in that stuff?" "Which do you want?" "It's all right." "This." "Sure!" "That's 800 yen." "but... we had a huge catch today!" "Huge!" "But we just took one because we didn't need all of them." "And another one for Mikuru too." "so it was a bit hard.}" "Thanks." "what's with the mask?" "I bought it." "really." "Right!" "Fireworks are next!" "Fireworks!" "Let's do that to finish the day off!" "Haven't you ever heard of the saying "Don't bite off more than you can chew"?" "there's summer vacation." "but I came to realize something." "We'll go bug catching tomorrow." "but have you finished your homework?" "What're you talking about?" "I finished all of that in three days." "Three days?" "!" "Finish off all that tedious stuff so you can actually enjoy yourself." "That's the right way to enjoy summer!" "Why is this person so smart?" "matched the last 4 lines with ep 2}" "Everyone!" "We're catching bugs tomorrow!" "The person who catches the most will be Brigade Chief for one day!" "No thanks." "Sounds interesting." "So it counts as long as it's any kind of bug?" "umm..." "Cicadas only!" "That's right." "This will be the SOS Brigade's..." "Cicada Catching Competition!" "we got what you could call a ridiculously nice day. {We actually ignored the Nihon-bare part in the previous episode." "Not sure if you want to leave that in." "We used "ridiculously nice day" instead.}" "but... the winner was Haruhi." "We should go with a "catch-and-release" mentality." "They might repay us with a favor in the future." "And what exactly can a cicada do for us?" "go back to the mountains!" "it felt like we were opening Pandora's Box." "Welcome!" "and ended up handing out balloons in front of a supermarket as a small part-time job." "Thanks for your work everyone!" "Why are being we treated like slaves?" "{lit. what's with this kind of treatment?" "}" "Good job!" "The manager was really grateful!" "I don't need the old man's gratitude." "Where's our pay?" "This is it." "What?" "I've wanted this for a while now!" "I no forgive you!"}{Uncle issue resolved}" "You made us do all that work just for the sake of getting that?" "Let's decorate the clubroom with this in commemoration!" "you can wear it whenever you feel like it." "I give you my permission!" "That night." "My slumber was once again stolen away by none other than a phone call." "Damnit." "Kyon-kun..." "Asahina-san?" "it's me." "Something bad has..." "If this goes on..." "I'll..." "Um..." "Koizumi." "Why are you together with Asahina-san?" "A slight problem has occurred." "Do you think you could come here right now?" "I'll be there immediately." "Where?" "Asahina-san?" "Kyon-kun... {Do we need this UUUUUUU shit?" ".}" "I..." "I can't go back to the future anymore!" "that's what happened." "We're currently looping through the same period of time over and over again." "you said that quite cheerfully." "do you have any idea what you're saying?" "I do." "There's nothing more to it." "I was talking to Asahina-san just now." "Call me up too!" "For that sort of meeting. {Re-TLC PLEASE} {Re-TLC'd}" "I happened to notice that the flow of time has felt strange lately." "Asahina-san was the one who discovered it." "I was able to confirm something." "Confirm what?" "We're experiencing a repeat of the same time over and over again." "You told me that already." "the loop occurs from August 11th to August 31st." "It's an endless summer." "The world now has lost all time past September 1st." "That's the reason why Asahina-san is unable to return to the future." "I guess that's only natural." "What part of physics argues that a state of "No Future" is natural?" "Who the hell would believe that?" "at least." "I'll give you an explanation too..." "I use *classified information* to communicate with the future and do things dealing with *classified information*." "so I thought:" "This is strange..." "And then *classified information*." "so I did *classified information* out of panic but it was completely *classified information*..." "I..." "Why?" "{Let's considering putting classified information in square brackets}" "I have no idea." "Was she just using the term "classified information" as a replacement for censoring words?" "Are we trapped inside something similar to an enclosed space?" "that's not the case." "One part of the time continuum has just been cut up." "everything will be reset at exactly 2400 hours and we will return to August 11th again." "That's the process." "the memories belonging to the entire human race?" "That also gets reset." "Everything starts over from the beginning again." "huh?" "since people from the future are involved with this." "No." "This one has nothing to do with Asahina-san." "Then who's the cause of this?" "Probably Suzumiya-san." "but... a part of her might not want summer to end." "What the hell?" "Does she have some sort of regret?" "I believe so." "It may very well be the fact that she feels like she still has something she needs to do during summer vacation." "small issue into galactic proportions." "So what do you want me to do?" "I would have already resolved it." "You're too close." "I've been thinking this for a while now aren't you?" "aren't you?" "I've finally managed to solve the riddle of deja vu being left as imprints from past loops." "Now that I think about it" "I've come to understand that the imprints are simply what you would call the remains of a memory reset." "Are you telling me that everyone else in the world feels it too?" "It doesn't look like it." "You and I are special cases." "Just by being close to Suzumiya-san we've become the only ones capable of feeling it." "What about Haruhi?" "She isn't the least bit aware of this fact?" "It doesn't look like it at all." "It would probably be a lot more complicated if she did." "with the deja vu" "I'm thinking that there must be someone who has retained all of his or her memories of the repeated time." "And who would that someone be?" "I think you'll know without me having to say it." "It's Nagato-san." "Being outside the constraints of space and time the Integrated Data Sentient Entity most likely knows the most." "Is this true?" "Yes." "Do you remember everything?" "Yes." "how many times have we been "reset"?" "four hundred and ninety eighth time we've had this discussion." "four hundred and ninety eight?" "498?" "what are you talking about?" "Are you being serious?" "Yes." "So we did the same thing over and over again each and every one of those times?" "That is not necessarily the case." "498 times 391 of those times." "we went twice." "Obon minus the goldfish scooping occurred 437 times." "025 times." "Among which there have been six variations- that's enough." "498 times." "That's what Nagato said." "about 594 years." "living it over and over again while retaining her memories?" "just how does it feel to have lived through all of this?" "I ended up hearing something ridiculous again." "The next day was stargazing." "The venue was the rooftop of Nagato's apartment." "Koizumi prepared the telescope." "I wonder if they're there?" "What?" "Martians." "I don't really want them to exist." "It looks like there's no one on the surface." "They might just be a timid people that live underground." "They're probably a friendly bunch." "There's no way that could happen." "The day humans first set foot on Mars they'll definitely come out of their caves and welcome humans as a surprise." "They'll say "Welcome to Mars!" or something." "Sounds like it'd be mistaken for an attack." "this is boring." "Let's look for UFOs!" "anyway?" "I wonder." "this problem will be relatively straightforward to solve." "Why don't we try this out for starters?" "Suddenly hug Suzumiya-san from behind and whisper in her ear: "I love you"." "And who's doing that?" "There's no one more suitable than you!" "I'll have to exercise my right to veto!" "I'll pass on this one!" "Shall I do it then?" "I'm just kidding." "I'm not qualified for that role." "I would only put Suzumiya-san into an unnecessary state of confusion." "The next place we went to was the batting center." "Nagato." "Even before you talked to Asahina-san right?" "Yes." "So why did you keep quiet about it?" "My mission is to observe." "I see." "The string of vigorous summer vacation events continued." "And we continued to be carried away along with them." "so I didn't make any effort to do anything." "August 30th arrived." "we've pretty much completed our summer plans." "I wonder if it's okay like this?" "But..." "I guess that's it." "do any of you want to do anything else?" "Fine." "so it's probably enough." "No." "This isn't fine." "You aren't supposed to be satisfied yet!" "let's call it a day then." "I'll let you have tomorrow off to prepare for school." "Let's meet in the club room the day after tomorrow." "Haruhi!" "This again..." "Deja vu!" "And this feels stronger than before." "I can't let Haruhi go home like this!" "all those ten thousand something weeks will just end up being repeated again!" "But what should I do?" "What should I say?" "There should be hints in Haruhi's words!" "But what are they?" "What did she say until now?" "I don't know." "I can't remember..." "August 31st." "Homework: unfinished." "I don't care anymore." "happens." "doing this homework would be meaningless." "Even if we happen to get to tomorrow..." "I'll just have to leave it to myself to figure out later."
