[To start, there's a bit of clearing of his throat. He pauses before going on without abandon-] Alright! Some, many, of you will have by now witnesses out recent advertising campaign by now, correct? [Referring to Mikage and Naoki] That is to say, the famed SOS-Brigade! Many of you have been now seen the flier that my secretary produced, and as such there is no obligation to give us any introduction even for the ignorant, but in favor of those who might not be able to read, I shall generously provide one anyway-

We, the Spreading Excitement All Over the World with Haruki Suzumiya Brigade come to you with a simple but eloquent purpose! Namely, the SOS-Brigade is looking into the mysteries of this world! People who have experienced something mysterious in the past, have experienced something mysterious recently, or who plan on a mysterious experience in the near future should come to the SOS Brigade for them be solved! This offer stands open to any of you! It is impossible to miss out HQ in the square of town, so step forward there if you have such a mystery for us to look into!

If you're really not okay with this for some reason please just say so in the initial comment or something]

Adell. Hugo. [Rohan was ruled out, and those other ones won't do, right? Vash is that broom and he thinks he heard something happened to that guy... maybe. Either way, he's a broom. The other two are pirates so- oh fine he'll throw a bone to one of them-] Usopp too. I need to talk to the three of you about something of paramount importance.

[Voice // Filtered to Winry // 60% Unhackable]

...Oi, Winry. How's your arm? [He had said that they were going to start planting now/soon, after all, but if her arm's too busted up then there might not be a point, right? She couldn't enjoy it... He's already gotten the materials needed, of course, but-

And for the record Haruki is affected, it's just not in this post itself. In the threads his thoughts will be signified with red brackets.

EDIT:] [Voice // Public]

Oh and old blue guy! Catherine! I got something I wanna talk to you about!

[I'm sure of that, but what if he isn't there? Or something happens... And what if Rena or me are drafted? Stress is the main trigger of the syndrome, a battlefield would bring us to a critical point in the best case... Well in my case maybe it would be better to just let me die then and hope for me to be stable when returned.]

Glad to hear you're confident in your own skills.

No. [That's in response to his thoughts-] No. You're not gunna just die like some dog, you idiot. If you get drafted- [...He doesn't want to think about that]

[...] Ask that old blue guy for the medicine, he'll comply.

Uh... I just thought it could be the easiest solution.

Anyway, I'll ask that old man if my name gets out for the draft. I suppose taking the medicine twice each day while I'm there should avoid the problem.

If a solution's easy then it's not worth taking, you moron! Anything which is worth doing is difficult!

[... You don't really have to tell me about it... But I still would prefer to just damage myself before damaging any of my friends, even the ones I'm starting to make here.]

[Sighs.]

I wish I could say "I wish Rika wouldn't have left, everything would have been okay that way". But...

[It's not as if just her presence stops the syndrome from kicking off at all.]

You know... There have been worlds in which Rika died long before me and yet no one in the village really snapped.

I don't care about all that happened in the past. What matters to me is what's happening now and what's going to happen in the future. You're my minion! If you're going to die, I'll kill you a million more times! You fade away and I'll force you back! You're not allowed to have your debt released that easily!

[...]

What debt?

The dept you owe me for sparing you from a bland existence.

What? That is a debt?

[Laughs.]

But Chief, a debt is something that can be paid off. You can't really think I could ever pay you back for this even in a million of Hinamizawa cycles!

Even if you die a million times you'll still owe me.

Such a cruel Chief.

[Obviously joking.]

Maybe I should write down somewhere that my soul is to be handed to you if I ever die and can't be brought back... How does one write Haruki anyway? I mean, the way you write it is a bit... Special.

Just like this, obviously. [And him writing it on hiragana... again. Still neglecting the kanji, man]

[...]

That's hiragana. You really mean to tell me your parents wrote your name in hiragana when they named you?

No, but that's how I write it.

Mmhmm...

[What's up with everyone and their mother changing the way their name is written? or their name altogether.]

Did you know Rena's name is actually just a nickname?

-What?

Yeah, after she returned to Hinamizawa she asked everyone to just call her Rena, and even changed the way it was written. Still, the elders still call her Reina.

[. . . - No way.] Huh, Reina? That's interesting.

It's written with the kanjis of rei from gratitude and na from Nara. At first I thought that Rena was just the pronunciation of Reina but it has nothing to do with it. Then again I don't blame her for wanting to start over as Rena.

There are times in which a change of name is a good thing, I suppose.

[I do wonder if she will ever return to Reina. I suppose that once she's an adult and married she would, then again by then Rena would be even more of her name than it is already... It's not like she would need to change it again.]

I didn't ask for her life story, idiot.

I didn't tell you her life story. There's a lot more to it if I planned to tell you, anyway I just got reminded of it because of you changing the way you write your name.

She does the same, not even the na has anything to do with the original. Have you always wrote your name in hiragana?

[Or is it some sort of consequence of Rena's influence?]

It's easier that way. [This is said flatly-] It's just simple. I've always done it like this.

[Simple and more special, right? Not that he needs it.]

I see. Well, I won't deny that it's eye-catching. And expected from you.
