I’ve gotta say, I quite like the pattern of the book.

Namely, each of the three members of the SOS-dan tell Kyon who they are, and who they think Haruhi is. Then each, in the same order, gives him proof of who they are. Then each of them give him a clue to solve the final riddle, though admittedly not in the same order.

But is it still a weird sentence in Japanese or just something I’m not used to? At least in the languages I know you wouldn’t say someone’s time has stopped unless you are being poetic or something. I thought maybe he is being weird about time since she is a time traveler (?)

Also, just finished this week and the end was kinda comfy somehow.

I don’t think it’s weird. It is a metaphor, but it feels fairly common? Maybe it’s just ~~because of the weird things I read~~ me.  
Out of all the possible ways to say that, though, I also think picking this one is a reference to her time-traveling abilities.

About the end, feels like the calm before the storm, though. 😅

Learned two words I really like.  
頬杖 (new) and 方あぐら (which is in WK)
