Purity: This episode begins with a freaky scene where Tsukasa and the white girl are running through the forest. The girl disappears and reappears up in the trees. She jumps down on top of Tsukasa, stabbing him with a knife. Tsukasa awakens to see Maho. This episode was cute in that it focused on Bear, Mimiru, and Tsukasa forming a party and completing a side quest for knowledge. The point was to get Tsukasa to feel more comfortable in a group, as he has always been a loner. Along the way, we learn that Mimiru’s father is in the semicondustor business, and that Tsukasa’s mother liked old movies. The quest consists of 3 riddles, and each yields a treasure – the first, an amethyst pendant, the second, an egg, and the third, an egg stand. When the egg is put into the egg stand, a dragon appears. Tsukasa, still uneasy about his previous fighting experiences, refuses to fight. Mimiru then throws the amethyst at the dragon and it changes into a medallion. In real life, the life support is cut on a boy in the hospital. Entanglement: It begins by voices discussing that being brain dead and being a vegetable are two different things. There is mention of a girl, Nancy Kruzen, in a similar situation. In The World, Mimiru asks Tsukasa about being hungry and sleeping. He says he manages without them. He then tells her that she should take a bath, as he can smell her. In Tsukasa’s sanctuary, the teddy bear and the girl are covered in vines and bugs. The fantasy place is dark. Vines cut Tsukasa’s hand. Maho attacks him. In real life, we learn that the plug was pulled on life support. BT thinks it may have been an attempted murder. Luckily, the respirator in the hospital had a respiratory mode. Was it a conspiracy in the hospital? Bear and BT grow more convinced that the kid in the hospital is Tsukasa. Meanwhile, in Tsukasa’s sanctuary, the Voice tells the story of the Mermaid Princess who traded her voice for beautiful legs to meet the prince. Unfortunately the prince married someone else and the Mermaid Princess turned into a bubble of light and disappeared. The Voice then explains that it keeps Tsukasa and the girl there. Bear’s new theory is that Tsukasa’s body is a vegetable, but that he may regain consciousness if he is able to log out. He tells Tsukasa his theory and invites him to help them look for the Key of the Twilight, the means which should allow him to log out. The Voice asks “Do you really want to go back?” In the sanctuary, Tsukasa comes to the realization that he was the Mermaid Princess and this fantasy place is the sea. He should stay here. |
