I broke up the run-on sentence and tried to convey the sense of 巻き込む。

Translator Notes

requesting heavy edit in terms of clarity of ideas. I was constantly getting distracted when I was translating this chapter.

Update: Made some large changes, usually structural or by rearranging the order of words and phrases.

Melancholy-to-Sigh. I changed that to "the half a year when our melancholy became frustration". I'm not too sure if Kyon's sighs represent frustration or exasperation, but after half a year of Haruhi, it's probably the former. Hopefully that appropriately conveys the meaning of 憂鬱が溜息に移り変わる

I think that the phase Melancholy-to-Sigh means the time between the first and second book.

The phase has double meanings.

The original line is something like "melancholy to sigh in the half a year time".

I dunno. For Kyon, a character in the novel, to reference the titles of the books in his thoughts is a little too...postmodern for me.
