...That's as it may be. I've never thought of there being such a thing as "my Haruhi." Haruhi is Haruhi any way you slice it.

['That is to say, in terms of evidence, in every alternate world I've been in, Haruhi has been exactly the same. Even when her powers were stolen. Even when the world split in two. Haruhi is an unchanging constant, albeit in that she's a constant vortex of change.']

And as for me, I doubt I've changed all that much.

['...Did I? Could four months have done all of that? Haven't these last months been simply solidifying patterns put in place earlier?']

Although you're right about the Brigade.
