“I was about to be thrown in to a living nightmare, one far more terrifying and dangerous than anything I’d faced before. And this time, Haruhi was at my side through the thick of it all. The one person who isn’t supposed to know that the supernatural exists.
I thought traveling through time, dealing with alternate realities, the mansion in the snow, kidnappings, car chases, weird divesting realities and the Anti-SOS Brigade had left me ready to deal with anything that the universe could throw at me.
I was wrong.”
