[Lamb is sitting at her desk, as per usual. For anybody curious, yes, her left arm is still in a sling. Give it another week or so. Anyway, she's been making notes, doing research and is now curious about a thing or two

He hasn't been anywhere near the library. I think he's gone.

[echo_of_utopia]

Gone? So people can leave?

[She doesn't have a good answer to this yet. She's heard claims that there is an exit and she's heard firm denials.]

[haruhifujioka]

No. They do, but we can't leave on our own.

[echo_of_utopia]

Then how?

[haruhifujioka]

You'd have to ask the residents that.

[echo_of_utopia]

[Residents. Right. They came up in a conversation once, she thinks, but she must have handwaved them.]

Who are they?

[Then, right away, as if correcting herself.]

Where are they?

[haruhifujioka]

The people who announce the events. We don't know where they live, but we think it's on the other side of the mirror.

[echo_of_utopia]

[She nods. Again with that other side of the mirror. She considers asking more, but that's a whole catalogue of questions right there, one that's better filed away until she knows if Jim's really left or if a particular somebody made him disappear.]

I see. Thank you-

[And here's where Lamb blanks on the name, but then why does she think she knows her bet- ooh, right.]

You were Jack's wife during the last event? I apologise, but your name must have escaped me.

[haruhifujioka]

Uh ... [There's a long pause because she's blushing.] yeah, I'm Haruhi.

[echo_of_utopia]

Haruhi. Again, thank you.

[haruhifujioka]

Don't worry about it.
