She thinks she's from a different world and thinks she's in a story of her own (remember when she ambiguously talked about thing being like out of a manga?), but as it turns out she's just a regular girl (massive twist) and can't relate to the main character in the way she hoped. Needless to say her reaction shows just how much she wanted to believe her own delusions because it was her entire world view up until now, but eventually Ao brings her back to mundane reality and says none of it matters because there are still people care about her and that's what matters. The cheesyness of it that she's allergic to only further brings her face to face with the fact that she is in fact living in the real world now and just has to accept it. So she accepts the mundane and the fact that her fantasy will always be out of her reach. I think that's all genuinely interesting and good depth added to girl we just thought was an otaku girl at first.

Except of course Elena is not normal. She's apparently the only human with natural pastel-colored hair. She's the only human able to pilot an LFO despite not growing up in a trapar-rich environment. She's the only person hologram Eureka was able to touch. She's been to an alternate universe. She's been to the future.

But point b reverts back to point x. the two join up. then from here a new point b exists. if drawn on a chart this time bubble would be drawn in a circle, with the final result having a linear line from point a to point x to point b, with a circle touching the timeline at point x. simple really. In the case of this series, there are multiple circles or time bubbles within the overall time bubble.
If the Haruhi anime continued, Koizumis explanation would be animated.

Not really much of an explanation, since it doesn't explain why the timeline circles back on itself from X to B.
