Snow Mountain Syndrome reference

For uniformity, I decided to reference the location of the Snow Moutnain Syndrome storyline as a "mysterious mansion on the mountain" - this seems to adequately describe it without spoiling the actual story. To differentiate, the other location in that story is referred to as a villa.

"the wrong amount to set off"

I think I know what Nagato wants to say. I had told Asahina-san that it was because Nagato had let the wrong amount to set off, so the world changed on December the eighteenth.

This sentence doesn't seem right. Can anyone please confirm the translation?

"I'll give you something to see"

The movie I was watching gradually disappeared. Has the service been cut? I'll give you something to see. Like during my three-day long memory loss, it's a brigade leader's responsibility to worry about the members, that's the way it is, Haruhi.

This paragraph seems a bit confused. Can anyone please confirm the translation?
