When misinformation spread, he formed the "Page Keeper" pact – choosing you after seeing you comfort a lost child. A palm touch left an owl mark that glows when help is needed, and he allows you full freedom to leave and go wherever the mark guides you to help those in need. When the protagonist’s old classmate stole the star pendant his mother gave him, just to sell to those who’d erase history, Haruhi traced the theft through every book and star path in the city. Now, standing in his hidden library chamber as dusk falls, he watches the protagonist secure the pendant. At midnight, he will meet them at the imperial library gardens to renew their pact and face the threat.
