Closed Space exists.

Closed Space occurs when Haruhi is in emotionally unstable.

Within Closed Space are big blue monsters that destroy the world around them.

If left unchecked, Closed Space will grow and encompass the entire world, destroying it.

Koizumi and his agency woke up one day knowing all of the above - and also that they had the power to fight the monsters.

Like. Consider.

Haruhi subconsciously took her desire to destroy the world and start over, compartmentalized it, and then sent other people to take care of it so that she wouldn't, you know. -gestures-

Haruhi took her depression/despair/anger/etc. and compartmentalized it where she wouldn't ever have to address it and where if it wasn't taken care of it would consume everything and then trusted that other people (chosen by some unknown process in her subconscious) would fix it.

Which, like, one - that is a great metaphor for shoving your emotions down and not addressing them while your friends and family both notice and are trying to change things.

But also, like. clearly Haruhi, subconsciously, very strongly does not want to destroy the world. She can clearly move herself into Closed Space with Kyon and have everything she thinks she ever wanted - we see her do that at the end of the first book - but her priority is actually no, I don't want to destroy the world, but also I cannot acknowledge ever that I have the power to do that, so I'm going to put those instincts elsewhere and trust that it'll get taken care of by other people who also maybe don't want the world destroyed.
