.hack//sign- Recollection- Episode #19

As Subaru is passing by, she hears two players wondering if she really is Subaru, because people seem to really like to steal the look, and there are lots of people who pretend to be Subaru these days. One guys even suggests that Subaru quit the Crimson Knights because she got bored with it.
While she walks in a snow-covered area, she goes back to a memory.
> Subaru is only talking in half-sentences, never finishing what she says. Crim tells her she needs to speak her mind and get a new attitude. A player appears near Subaru and tries to attack her. Crim quickly holds his spear near the player's neck and tells him to either be killed or leave Subaru alone. The player teleports away. Crim makes a point of saying men can't be trusted in the game, because they either attack girls or take advantage of them. Crim tells Subaru that she needs to be more positive and speak her mind. <>
Subaru passes by, and then remembers something else.
<> Crim says she's quite famous on the boards. A girl, who seems to be alone, and seems to be an amateur to the game, because she's not familiar with online games. Crim says she needs to hold her head high, always feel proud, and the World will come to her. Three players appear and try to attack the two. They injure Crim a little, but he isn't hurt to badly. Subaru finally finds courage and tells her they need to stop attacking players, because if newbies are attacked, they won't play the game, and then the game will wither and die. The players think she is preaching, but she tells them she's asking. They smirk and ask what gives her authority. Crim says he should call them the Crimson Knights. Subaru in turn creates the Crimson Knights organization, and knights Silver Knight.<>
Subau passes by one of the ex- Crimson Knights, Salu. Salu says the real Crimson Knights are needed because Silver Knight has started his own organization. He is an outlaw.
Bear and Mimiru are standing at their usual bridge. Mimiru is surprised the Crimson Knights are gone. Mimiru also wonders if Subaru will stay on. Bear thinks she is the type of person who hates to leaves things unfinished, and her story isn't over, so she'll stay on a while longer. Mimiru agrees.
<> Subaru walks over to see Crim and Silver Knight in a battle. Subaru asks why they battled, and Crim says it was just a difference in values. Silver Knight calls Crim frivelous and unthoughtful. When Crim asks what's wrong with it, Silver Knight says they are supposed to be good examples to players. Crim says that the Crimson Knights are powerful in numbers, but are nothing more than gangs. He quits. When Silver Knight leaves, Crim says it's easy to quit, all you have to do is say it. Then he says he's going to cast a spell on her.<>
A girl greets Subaru, who has the same look as her, just different coloured features. The girl, who calls herself Kaochin, says she's happy the Crimson Knights are gone. She says they shouldn't go around saying "Stop fighting" and such. She thinks they're full of themselves. Subaru makes a point of saying that every game should have rules.
<> What Crim meant by the spell was his phone number in the real world. He says he doesn't want to be Lord Crim of the Crimson Knights, but he still wants to be Subaru's Crim. <>
Kaochin wants to be friends with Subaru. But then she finds out that Subaru is real, and starts to advance on her, about to attack. Subaru is about to log out, but Kaochin says she'll post how cowardly Subaru is on the message boards. Subaru finds her courage and stops. She says she doesn't care if she's killed, but she'll never be friends with people like her. The girl swings at her.

Subaru gets up off the ground. Her dress is tattered, her wings are shriveled, her hair is a mess. She gets up and walks into a cave, only to find Tsukasa. He runs up to her and says that if he waited in that cave, he'd find Subaru. Subaru starts to cry and hugs Tsukasa.
