THINGS THAT YOU HAVE DEFINITELY OVERLOOKED IN THIS FANFICTION! PT.2!
Things that you know for sure so far:
A.) Haruhi likes the boy with brown hair
B.) The boy likes her back.
C.) But Lotus is his lover
D.) Haruhi sends him a Valentine
E.) Lotus becomes jealous
F.) Lotus makes the boy write a hateful note back
G.) She stages Haruhi and everyone laughs at her (POOR HARUHI!)
H.) Haruhi stops believing in God (for some odd reason that I can't figure out yet)
I.) And she also gives up on love
J.) And that you notice that this list is so freaking long
Now for the note...
The note said as following:
I don't like you like that...
Love isn't...really my thing...
Opening up to someone is INDEED a difficult thing to do...but...that was...
Very awkward, for I think of you as a friend.
Even though this is a rejection...
You shouldn't give up on love!
Obviously, it WILL come your way someday!
Understand me?
P.S., Thanks for the chocolate! :)
Ouch. That has got to hurt.
When I was reading this in the mangaka, I was wondering, "what is wrong with this?"
It seems strange, don't you think? "Love isn't really my thing"?! But Lotus is your lover, right?!
And it's weird how he says, don't give up on love, because it will come your way.
AND WHAT IS WITH UNDERSTAND ME?!
I was MEGA confused as to why the letter was written this way. It was unlikely and stupid to be honest.
But then something clicked.
I saw the sideways smiley face. Yes, in the mangaka, the smiley face was TO THE SIDE, just like how you see it right now: :)
I was like, what the hell? The note was clearly not typed, because in one of the chapters, it showed Lotus over the boy's shoulder watching him write the letter so he wouldn't put in something she wouldn't like.
So why was the smile SIDEWAYS?!
There was a man named Thornton, Arland (Arland is his first name) who believed that people can read fluently sideways. He even developed a (boring) book about his expertise.
And I was able to read the book (Although it was SUPER LONG because I made a mistake and read the uncut version at over 900 PAGES!)
One of the quotes were:
"The world has always been upside down. Everyone thinks that the world is either upside down or upside alone. I believe that it is neither "upside down" or "inside out". I see it sideways, or uneven. {Some} People have even attempted to walk sideways, but I say not to be {afraid}, because although we cannot LIVE sideways, let us READ sideways.
~~"Reading History Sideways; Melancholy 7 (Thornton)
Yeah...so basically he says, "The world is crazy, but I just made things crazier-why not read sideways instead of reading upside down or regularly?"
So lets apply this to the note. All of the underline words are the first words of the sentence if it was flipped:
I don't like you like that...
Love isn't...really my thing...
Opening up to someone is INDEED a difficult thing to do...but...that was...
Very awkward, for I think of you as a friend.
Even though this is a rejection...
You shouldn't give up on love!
Obviously, it WILL come your way someday!
Understand me?
P.S., Thanks for the chocolate! :)
So our words, 'I; Love; Opening; Very; Even; You; Obviously; Understand; and P.S.;' are our only clues.
First of all, P.S. is really not a word, so we can exclude that.
And then, I tried jumbling the words up to see if I could make a sentence.
...ok EPIC FAIL! XD
But then I noticed something VERY peculiar.
Look at the first letter of those words and see if you can see what I see:
I
Love
Opening
Very
Even
You
Obviously
Understand
Now lets remove the other letters and leave the remaining underlined letters there:
I
L
O
V
E
Y
O
U
"I LOVE YOU"! O.o
I was so baffled. And to tell you the truth, I was a little creeped out.
But then it all made sense (Ok, for me at the time, it was very confusing, but WHATEVER!)
The boy didn't necessarily "give in", he just left in a hidden message for Haruhi.
But I guess she didn't see it (Hell, I DIDN'T EVEN SEE IT AT FIRST!)
But I guess the boy isn't really all that bad, and he is less of a jerk than I thought he was.
But don't you agree that he should have made an EASIER TO CATCH ON message?
I'm sorry...that's just me...
I hope you all enjoyed, and I appreciate you for reading this! :D
YOUR SO FREAKING AWESOME!
I'm sorry this was revealed earlier-the puzzle was really hard and I am suppose to be on a week long break from FanFiction
But hey, I am on FanFiction RIGHT NOW!(ANOTHER EPIC FAIL)
Toodles! And enjoy a cookie~! :D
