Eighteenth Designation

[just_a_commoner]

This can't be happening. This can't be happening... Not yet. Please not yet.

Everyone always thinks it's going to happen in their lifetimes... but who ever actually thinks that they're going to be right?

Well... Whatever happens, happens, I guess. There's still a lot that I would like to do but... If this is the end, I'd rather die with dignity making others comfortable than die cowering under a rock somewhere.

So with or without the other hosts, I will ensure that the Host Club stays open to those who need a place to come and find peace with his or her fellow man, and those who need a friend to hold their hands.

I am the Host, Fujioka Haruhi, at your service.

Haruhi's hospitality was excellent. Ah, and it was very nice to meet Haruhi's father and to pay my respects. No matter how small the apartment may have been, it was very full of love.

It's not... that small.

But... I think for you, Sempai, my favorite memory might have to be you showing Shiro-kun the piano.

It was the first time I heard you play.

Was Haruhi very charmed by the sudden revelation of music?

[just_a_commoner]

Well it was very surprising. I always thought it was like.. a stereotype that all rich kids had to learn an instrument or something.

But to actually see you do it because you were passionate about it... I don't know. It was very striking.

Possessing elegant adornments is a duty owed by every individual who has both a noble line and a noble soul, it's true. However, in this case...

I learned to play because music was always a very soothing and cheering thing to my mother.

[just_a_commoner]

That... That's very sweet of you. I'm sure she really appreciated it.

And you're really good, you know. And it obviously means a lot to you.

Were you ever going to do anything public with it?

[growinmushrooms]

It's true that I enjoy playing in the Hotel, although the lack of guests on the island gives me a very small audience... but the Host Club will always be my first priority, so that I can give my full attention, both to this family... and to clients, like Haruhi-hime is at the moment.

[just_a_commoner]

That's very sweet of you, Sempai... And we all appreciate it, I promise.

But you have to think about yourself sometimes too, you know.

What do you want to do?

[growinmushrooms]

Both!
