The passage in question (on page 26 of the novel) is:
「よ、キョン」

「ゴールデンウィークはどっか行ったか?」
__
"Hey, Kyon."

His blazer hung slovenly on his shoulders, his necktie was wrinkled and skewed to one side.
"Where did you go for Golden Week?"

I've taken the liberty of making this correction in the text. --Freak Of Nature 15:38, 22 April 2006 (PDT)
[ch 1] He lay his sports jacket on his shoulders; his shirt
