.hack//sign- Entanglement-- Episode #12
As the episode begins, it shows two people, and their speech is in Japanese. Therefore we might not know what they're talking about. It seems to be a fight between the two people.In the World, Tsukasa gives Mimiru an item that she could use. She didn't want to upgrade it, so she just took it to sell later. When she talks about how she liked to be in the mall and talked about one, Tsukasa seemed like he knew what she was talking about. Mimiru guessed that Tsukasa was from Tokyo, but he wouldn't tell her if she was correct or not. Tsukasa wanted to stay with Mimiru for a little while before he went back to his place.Subaru is talking with Silver Knight and tells him that no matter what happens, no matter what time of day, she wants e-mail notification of any sightings of Tsukasa.When Tsukasa returns to his haven, it's a lot darker than it usually is, and there are numerous vines surrounding the floating girl and the weird teddy bear that always seems to be there. Alarmed, Tsukasa tries to pull the vines off the girl, but the vines grow back as soon as they're pushed away. He gets scratches and hurts himself, and then gives up.Bear says he has an idea back where him and Mimiru are talking and logs off.Maha looks a little angry and starts to come at Tsukasa like he's going to attack him.Bear is now talking to B.T. about what he found out about Tsukasa. He found out that Tsukasa has severe respiratory problems, which was caused by temporary insanity.Tsukasa, horrified, is now listening to the voice. It tells the story of the Little Mermaid, and Tsukasa is confused as to what it meant. The voice doesn't want Tsukasa to go back the the 'Ludicrous World', it just wants Tsukasa to stay.Crim and B.T are having their usual talk, and they start to think that Tsukasa and the Key of the Twilight are related. Both the Key and Tsukasa surpass the system, so there might be some sort of connection between the two.After B.T. leaves and Subaru comes, Crim thinks that Subaru should quit the Crimson Knights. She's extremely worried about Tsukasa, and the Knights shouldn't be a huge burden to her.Bear, talking with B.T., finds out that if Tsukasa does get back to the real world, he might not remain concious. He is in very bad condition at the hospital.When Mimiru sees a very sad-looking Tsukasa coming toward her, she sees the scratches he has on his body. When she asks how he got them, he doesn't answer. Bear joins them and tells Tsukasa that him and Mimiru want to find the Key of the Twilight. They ask if Tsukasa wants to join them, but Tsukasa gets upset and runs off yet again. He returns to his haven and thinks that he should just stay there. As soon as he says that out loud, the vines wrapped around the weird teddy bear and the girl unwrap and disappear.

They are going to form a party and go on the quest. They wait, and Tsukasa arrives late. Tsukasa tells them he doesn't have a good sense of time. They realize he shouldn't really, since he's been trapped in the game for so long. They walk until they get to the forest where the quest is taking place. A couple of people walk out, commenting on how hard the trivia questions were.Mimiru, Bear and Tsukasa step up to the booth and ask to get their party registered. As soon as they are registered, the go into the forest and see how good their knowledge. Bear says that creativity can sometimes make up for a lack of knowledge. They walk into the first place and the statue says its riddle. It mentions the second stone of twelve stonses of Jerusalem. Right off the bat, Bear says "Amethyst." The prize given is an a jewel of some kind.Mimiru is surprised that Bear knew the answer so easily. Bear tells them he used an encyclopedia. The auto-mapping isn't working for them, so real-life Bear had to make a map. It seems Bear's cartography didn't help them, because they got lost. They finally arrive at the second place and the second riddle. It mentions a really difficult riddle, which first starts with a math question. Tsukasa knew the answer, but then had to do the second part. They found out that the answer to the question had to be flipped upside-down, so it spelled "EGG". The prize was an egg. They get lost yet again, and Mimiru talks about her horrible father. When she asks Tsukasa about his parents, he tenses.They arrive at the third statue and the statue talks about someone cheating on someone else, who is the director. Tsukasa knew it meant a movie, he thought it was Roman Holiday. It was actually called The Apartment, directed by Billy Wilder. The prize was an egg stand. When the egg was placed on the egg stand, a monster came out of it. They knew they would have to put in a little fighting effort. bear took on the monster, but it wasn't helping.Tsukasa was going to use Guardian, but Mimiru told him not to use it. Once again, Tsukasa called Bear selfish. He said that adults just don't listen to kids. Mimiru shuts him up after she explains something. She threw up the jewel they got from the first statue and it shined. The monster turned into three dragon coins. They each got one.Tsukasa went back to his haven and put the coin on the floating girl.

Bear asks if his mother knows about it, and they get into a conversation about the whole thing. They don't mention if this family is in real life or a family over the World. Bear runs into Tsukasa, and Bear starts to ask more questions of Tsukasa. Tsukasa thinks that Bear is too concerned. When Tsukasa tells Bear how he plays the game, Bear tells him that he shouldn't just sit around and do nothing. He should probably go on quests and collect items.

.hack//sign- Epitaph-- Episode #9
Bear is talking with B.T. Ever since she heard about the Key of the Twilight, she's been itching to find leads on it. Bear thinks it might not exsist, but he's not sure. B.T. thinks that they should go and try to find the Key, whatever it takes. When we next see Tsukasa, he is back at his usual floating girl. The episodes have never shown who this is, and Tsukasa is wondering why she hasn't woken up. We next join Crim and B.T, discussing the Key. Crim goes on to tell her that he does know quite a lot. The Key was quite a hot topic around the message boards. There would be one group that would say the key has to exsist, but the other group would be firm with their belief, that the Key doesn't. Crim never entered the argument; he was still part of the Crimson Knights at the time. The Crimson Knights decided that if this did exsist, they would search all of The World. They took a wide search all over, but didn't find it. Therefore, they had to conclude that they Key of the Twilight did not exsist. However, B.T. still wants to know where the story came from, even if it doesn't exsist. As Tsukasa is wandering, a girl player asks if he could take care of her little baby Gruntee. Tsukasa didn't know if he should, but he does anyway. He was asked by the girl to watch the Gruntee for only three days, as she had to go on vacation with her family.Mimiru is talking with Bear. They are also discussing the Key, and they have mixed feelings. Mimiru thinks that it doesn't exsist, because an item like that would only cause trouble for the system. But Bear has an interesting theory- he explained that when you're born, your hands look like kitchen spatulas, with nothing in between. But as cells in between selectively die, fingers are created. Bear's theory is that the Key of the Twilight may actually create something, just like his example.B.T. wants to find out anything she can, so she goes to Subaru. Subaru has a lead that B.T. may take. Subaru explains that there was a post she could date back as far as she could. It was a difficult message to read, and it was in German to begin with. It's very mysterious , but that may just be the lead B.T. is looking for.Tsukasa returns the the stable where he's watching the Gruntee, and finds the Gruntee shivering and sick-looking. When Tsukasa shows the stable owner, the owner tells him that the Gruntee has a bad disease called Gruntee Distemperment. Tsukasa needs to find Purple Cherries to cure it. And so Tsukasa goes to a blistering cold server to find those cherries. He stumbles along, doing his best.Sitting around a fire, Bear, B.T. and Mimiru are devising a plan to find the person who knows any information. Bear and B.T. make Mimiru go and ask Sora. Mimiru reluctantly accepts. She find Sora really quickly and asks if he has any info. He says he does, but he'll only give it if he joins in the plan. Mimiru has to say yes. Reporting back to Bear and Mimiru, she tells them that Sora will be contacting Helba, an amazingly skilled hacker who plays the game. She may know something.B.T. goes and sees Sora herself. As they get into talk about the Key, Sora tells B.T. that he doesn't want to use the Key, just get it before anyone else does. He also tells her that if B.T. finds it first, she should keep it away from Crim, because he will probably take it from her.After returning, Tsukasa has the purple cherries. He gives it to the Gruntee, and it looks happy for a minute, but it doesn't eat it yet. It tries to get up, but collapses. It dies and fades away. As soon as that happens, the player runs in and gets angry. Tsukasa gets really upset, apologizes, and leaves. Mimiru catches up with Tsukasa and they sit. Tsukasa is really upset that he couldn't help the Gruntee. He is sad that he tried but couldn't help. He wonders why he is the only one like this, always feeling pain. He tried...
