A whole year later

Haruhi opens the letter addressed to her that arrived without a return address or anything, humming to herself confusedly, then tears well up in her eyes.
The envelope is empty except for a photo and another, smaller envelope.
Haruhi opens it with shaking hands, pulling out a bundle of money and two plane tickets to Australia.
Her breath is heavy as she sobs. She'd see her friend again.

Running the girl jumps into her friends open arms. The two of them stumble a bit, both crying. "I missed you." "Me too. I missed you a lot." Ranka greets her as well before turning to the siblings, watching them from a small distance with a smile. "And you must be Yuu and Yumiko. I've heard quite a lot about you." "Good to meet you. Indeed we are. The whole Kamagasaki family household is here." "Wait..", Haruhi mumbles, grabbing her friends hand. On the young adults hand is a golden ring. Plain and simple but beautiful at the same time. "You two married?!" The couple laughs and nods. "He asked me when we both finished online school and now no one can ever split us up again." "I'm happy for you." "Thank you. What about yourself?" "I was dating Tamaki for a while but..", Haruhi sighs. "I didn't want any contact with Kyoya after what happened with you two so.. I broke up with him and now I'm currently with this really cute girl.. the one who you gave relationship advise to, remember? Not the one you set up but the other one. Her name is May Matsumoto.", Haruhi smiles and Imogen beams. "That's so cute!! I'm happy for you." "Thank you." "Come on. Let's get your suitcases. We've got a bit further to go."

They follow the three Kamagasakis out of the airport and to a car. Imogen drives them through the roads as they cheerfully catch up about things with each other. The beach comes into sight and Imogen drives onto a dock and maneuvers the car into a large yacht. They all get out. "You live on a yacht?" "Nope. But we need a boat to get us back and forth between the mainland and our private island. And since we thought today we need the car we took the yacht but usually we'd just take the speedboat.", Yumiko chirps as Imogen begins to steer the large ship into motion. Enjoying the wind they all look out onto the bright blue sea. "And you get this view every day?" "Yeah! Since we started fishing ourselves me and my wife actually got into the taste of seafood.", Yuu laughs and Yumiko beams. "We actually just earlier before heading out caught a large yellowfin tuna so we'll have that as a nice brunch.", she chirps.
They dock at a small island with a lovely, overgrown house on it, obviously powered by a bunch of solar panels but also by a small waterfall that has been converted to produce energy. "Woah.", Haruhi gasps, looking around. "Welcome to our home.", Imogen laughs, opening the door for them. Kicking off her shoes Haruhi moves into the home.
"Pardon me for intruding."
