Does anyone know any good books or authors for studying law?

[Yes, Haruhi has disappeared for a few days to-- where else?-- the library. She's in a frenzy to study and get her head back to earth and practical matters...]

Wow! I'm really impressed! This is very studious of you.

I'm afraid I don't know any good authors, though. Social sciences is my strong point, not law.

Though I'm sure if you search hard enough you may find something!

Just don't push yourself too hard.

It's just that if I suddenly return home, I don't want to be behind in my studies. I have to maintain the top test scores in my year to hold onto my scholarship, so I can't afford to slack. I have a dream I'm chasing, after all.

[not-my-grandpa.livejournal.com]

I have this theory that when we return home, we're essentially just waking up from when we fell asleep!

Which...makes me nervous because I passed out... I didn't go to bed like I normally would.

[He waves his hand]

So I think you'll be fine. I won't tell you not to study, though. Some people just like that sort of thing!

[ootorospring.livejournal.com]

I know I don't remember anything from my last stay here, but just in case, I don't want to take chances. Even so, studying keeps my mind off, um, more troublesome things.

[not-my-grandpa.livejournal.com]

Troublesome things? Like what?

[ootorospring.livejournal.com]

Ah! Nothing in particular, just that it was difficult to concentrate during the thunderstorms so it's nice to have some quiet.

[Does this answer make complete sense? Probably not.]

[not-my-grandpa.livejournal.com]

[He tilts his head slowly to the side]

Aaaah...

The thunderstorms had you wound up too much to concentrate then?

[ootorospring.livejournal.com]

[Sure, she'll go with that.]

I guess so. I'm glad they only happened at night.

[not-my-grandpa.livejournal.com]

Alice got scared when it got too dark, though. Thankfully I was awake for her all night.

[He lets out a light chuckle]

They made me a bit sleepy, though.

[ootorospring.livejournal.com]

[Haruhi has to smile.]

That was really nice of you. It really helps to have someone support you when you're afraid. You don't have to bear it alone.

[not-my-grandpa.livejournal.com]

[He smiles back]

Do you have someone like that?

[ootorospring.livejournal.com]

[adfghj]

Y-yeah. Tamaki-senpai is always...

[not-my-grandpa.livejournal.com]

[He's been trying to hook you guys up because....too cute]

I had a feeling that was who it was...

[ootorospring.livejournal.com]

Ehh?? Well, I do... he is... he promised I wouldn't have to be alone if I am afraid.

[not-my-grandpa.livejournal.com]

[Just...so cute]

He's very reliable, isn't he? Kind of like your own personal knight.

[ootorospring.livejournal.com]

W-Well, no, he's stupid, he has his head in the clouds, he's really narcissistic, and he's a good-for-nothing at the most important moments--

[afghjkh again]

...But despite all that he has his good qualities...

[not-my-grandpa.livejournal.com]

[He can't help but chuckle]

He's silly is what all that means.

[He smiles]

But you certainly compliment each other. He's silly, you're sensible, he's got his head in the clouds and you're well grounded. He very fun loving while you're very studious.

Together you both make a perfect balance of person.

[ootorospring.livejournal.com]

You... think so?

[not-my-grandpa.livejournal.com]

I really think so.

[Yeeeeees...yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees. One step closer! Even if it's a baby step! BD]

[ootorospring.livejournal.com]

[pause. pause. wait for it.]

Takuma-kun--

There's something I've been wanting to tell Tamaki-senpai, but I'm worried about how he'll feel. When we found out he didn't remember a lot of what happened back home, he was really upset, and I don't want to make him upset again...

[she honestly has no idea what she's asking but herein lies the root of her problem and the reason she hasn't yet re-told Tamaki that she's in love with him. because she only just recently decided she was ready to say it, but what if after the trauma of thinking he'd "abandoned" everyone he wasn't ready to hear it?? DILEMMA. and a badly-worded not!question.]

[not-my-grandpa.livejournal.com]

[Yes! Come to big brother Takuma for he may be able to answer your not!question because he reads enough shoujo manga to know everything there is about awkward teenage romance]

Is this something that's happened back home? Like an event? Or is it something else that you'd like to tell him?

[ootorospring.livejournal.com]

[Haruhi has already come close to fourth-wall breaking when it comes to shoujo manga, and as she herself been reading it for romantic advice lately, that hasn't helped her ideas of ways she should be reacting and things that should be happening..... please help her, somewhat-impartial-third party.]

It's something I'd like to tell him. I mean, I've already told him, but right after I said the words, I passed out and woke up in Somarium. And now that I know he's missing memories, after seeing him feel so horrible already over things he's missed at home, I'm just not sure if it's right to re-tell him... so soon?

[not-my-grandpa.livejournal.com]

[He thinks for a moment, placing a hand on his chin and humming]

I see...

Do you think he's ready to be told whatever you told him back in your world? Emotionally wise, I mean.

[ootorospring.livejournal.com]

That's what I'm worried about. Since he took the other things so harshly...

I know that I'm ready to say it. But I don't want to make him more upset.

[not-my-grandpa.livejournal.com]

[He thinks again for a moment then smiles softly]

You love him,don't you?

[He's good at spotting things like that. Like how Aidou loves Kaname]
