On the morning of one of my most important cases, I find the firm filled with children and teenagers all claiming to be my partners and associates. The place is a mess and I can't find anything that I need. And upon calling the courthouse, they don't even have the trial on the docket for today.

WHAT IS GOING ON?!

N-nani?

How can you not remember? I've been stressed out about this for the last three weeks!

But...

Haruhi...

Haruhi grew up?

Well, yes. That's what happens. People grow up. I think you reacted similarly when you first saw me in one of my suits for work.

Are you feeling all right?

I'm feeling... like I'm Haru-chan's kohai now...

Tamaki, you're not making any sense again.

Wait.. is this what Ryoji was talking about?

Daddy doesn't know what's going on. Everyone grew up without him.

Fuijoka, I do hope this does not mean that the Shinjoku case is going to fall through. I had the utmost confidence that my lawyer would not fail me in this most pressing case.

I know, I know, and I'm sorry, but under these circumstances, I'm not sure what to do. When the courthouse hasn't even heard of Shinjoku-san...? This is all very confusing.

This is very problematic. My offices have been overtaken, my things moved back to the miniscule apartment and my files are missing. I need to draw up a plan for how to make sense of all of these things. We should arrange a meeting.

We should, as soon as possible. I'll even buy coffee. Maybe we can manage to sort something out before this gets too out of hand.

The usual place seems to still exist, we could meet there?

That will be good. I wish I knew what was going on.. I was stressing so much last night and now it seems strange that it was all for nothing.

We will figure it out. This is no worse than the incident last year, so far. In all likelihood there is a miscommunication somewhere along the line.

Maybe, but everything is just... it's very different. Well, not different, but older. More nostalgic, as Tamaki might say.

I just need to calm down and get my head together. Then I can try to sort all of this out. But first, coffee.

I will meet you at the usual place. We will set things straight there. It is a familiar backdrop and I am sure it will help to ease both our minds to a much clearer state.

I'm sure you're right. We'll figure this out.

The... usual place?

It's okay. No need to panic. It's just coffee.

Commoner coffee?

Like from a cafe?

Bourgeoisie coffee!!

Something like that. Am I to assume you want to come too?

Hai.

Haruhi-chan! Haruhi-chan!!

Oh, I bet it's the island again, isn't it....?

The island? Why would the island want to disrupt my case?

Because you're older. I think.

We're all getting older, Ryoji.

Well, most of us. We've been over this, Ryoji.

Not me.

Haha, I feel a little left out, actually.

You haven't?

Wait.. what do you mean? You remember me graduating law school, right? That big party we had?

H-haruhi-chan, I'm, um .....

I'm in my last year of high school.

You're what?! But... how can that be? That's not possible!

You can probably thank the island for this, right?

Probably. This isn't good. I hope things set back soon.. this is throwing me off of my game. I can't go into the courthouse like this.

It's all right, Haruhi-chan! I'm sure it'll be over soon. These things usually don't last that long, right?

Hahaha, it's not like you're going to be like this forever.

Am I not supposed to be like this? I'm pretty sure I remember going to work yesterday and coming home... how do I know you're not the one who's all backward?

Oh, well, I just ....I thought we weren't backwards, because Jack isn't backwards.
