Discord
Walking through the streets,Haseo is over hearing other members about the conflict between his guild and TaN.Saying how they tried to over take them,how its just impossible to even try to take this guild,TaN fell into their trap and yet,TaN is about to disappear pretty soon.Walking into the guild home,Haseo is greeted by Tabby,she is all excited that they are "celebrities".Neither Haseo or Sakisaka think its grand.Haseo is looking for Shino,but Tabby says she hasnt logged in just yet.In which she appears shortly,Saki asks if she has heard anything from Ovan,nothing as of yet.Saki is not satisfied with that answer,and says its strange no matter how you look at it.Haseo tells him to not yell,but Saki says he wasnt talking to him.He brings up the Key of the Twilight,and how hard they fought for it,and trusting Ovan just to get it.Tabby asks Saki if he is mad,he replies to her,that he isnt really mad.

Out in the fields,Tawaraya has asked Haseo to meet him out here.Tawa first starts out by saying sorry,for making him come out here.Haseo finds it very disturbing for him to say that.Tawa does see his point,then he goes saying he has 30 minutes left until his account is suspended,after all he is the figurehead of TaN.Tawa says he will not run away,Haseo finds that admirable.He doesnt consider it admirable,but more of,what he calls it a merchant's circumstances.Tawa wants to ask Haseo of a favor,Haseo says he cant promise him anything he wants of that favor.He continues,the graphic that is found in the Lost Grounds,the ones with three scratches as Haseo calls them,Tawa has given it a name.He wants to call it "Sign",he adds on that it looked like some kind if punishment.And he also believes,one day,everybody will be talking about it.Its Tawaraya's time,and waves to Haseo as his character is logged off,and deleted.Haseo realizes that he is defeated,but doesnt think he is the type to go down so easily.

Back at the guild house,Saki is questioning Shino about the Key of the Twilight and about asking Ovan if he did get it or not.Saki is getting tired of getting the same answers,Shino says there is nothing he can do about it.He still believes Ovan is keeping to himself,once more,Shino brings up about giving it some more time.Saki adds on saying there should be a time limit to this.Elsewhere,Tabby is strolling the streets with a happy expression on her face.A familiar voice calls out to her,its B-Set,she grabs her arm and drags her off the street.B-Set tells her this isnt the time to be enjoying herself.Tabby doesnt understand at first,B-Set mentions how Ovan isnt coming back.She does bring up a point that Ovan is never around to begin with,and that Shino is here now.B-Set says for her not to talk like a middle schooler,but Tabby corrects her,she is really in high school.She then spots Haseo walking by them,he wonders whats going on.B-Set is just giving her a warning and to take Tabby along with him.She then asks him if Ovan is coming back,Haseo says he doesnt know and that she should ask Shino if she really wants to know.B-Set says its hard for her to ask Shino and thats why she is asking him.Tabby decides to take Haseo with her and suggests they both ask Shino together.But just before they head off,Haseo mentions to B-Set about the three scratches found in the Lost Grounds,they are called "Sign".

Meanwhile,at the lake,Gord is there wondering where Ovan went.He then returns to town,on the bridge,where Phyllo is at.He says he is quitting,since Ovan isnt coming back.He also thanks Phyllo for the help in the past.Phyllo had no problem with it,and just wanted to kill some time.Gord asks him if he will feel lonely.To Phyllo,the game is like a playground,eventually,everyone will be gone someday.Gord mentions his home,Phyllo wonders if he is ok in reality. He says that nothing can be done if he tries to escape from reality by coming to this place,and that he will make up for it.Phyllo mentions to him,that you can start over again in reality too,but Gord just says,that it would be nice.Elsewhere in the root town,Haseo and Tabby are walking back to the guild home,when suddenly Saki is seen kicking the front entrance door from the inside.He looks pretty upset from his movements,and starts to walk away.Haseo and Tabby are wondering whats up with him,so they enter the guild home to find out from Shino.She realizes he has left,and Tabby wants to know if something happened.Shino answers her by saying,its something they shouldnt worry about.They stand there in silence,looking unsatisfied by that response.

Back on the bridge,Naobi approaches Phyllo,noticing how Phyllo is always here.He says it saves him the trouble of looking for him.Phyllo wonders if its ok for him to even been seen around here,along with the rumors floating around and considered an outlaw. Naobi brings up that today is the end for this character,and has something to tell Phyllo.Phyllo suggests they go somewhere else in private,but before he can even get up,Naobi reaches in close to him,and whispers to him,to forget about Ovan and that he wont be coming back.Having a shocked expression on Phyllo's face,he watches as Naobi walks away.Tabby and Haseo are walking through the streets,she brings up how Saki is still in game,but wont answer her messages.Haseo asks her of how to look for him.She isnt really sure,if she had his phone number,she could call him,but she doesnt,and asks Haseo if he would know.He doesnt know either,and then suggests instead of moving around elsewhere,they should just wait at home.Tabby wonders if Haseo wants to see Shino that badly.He doesnt get what she means,she brings up the look of his eyes when he sees Shino.Again,he doesnt get what she is trying to get at,and thinks she is just seeing things.She denies that,but says that Haseo can never be Ovan's replacement,or rather Shino's support.Haseo asks her if she could be her support,she says cant either.

Another visit to the lake,Phyllo has invited Shino to meet them here,in which she finds it strange.Phyllo asks her if this is the place of where it happened with Ovan,and if there has been any contact.Shino makes a face,Phyllo says he thought as much.She wonders what he meant by that,he goes silent,Shino wants if he knows something else.Back to Tabby and Haseo,Saki isnt in town at the moment,so Tabby suggests to check out the Lost Grounds. Haseo makes another suggestion,to send him a message to come back.Tabby says it wouldnt work,since he isnt responding.At the waterfalls,B-Set is there,waiting for someone.Its Gord's information provider,he notices the mark on the ground,and that it can be seen in all the Lost Ground places.B-Set mentions its name,which is "Sign".She wants to know what he wants with her,he says its about Gord.Switching back to Shino and Phyllo,Shino tells him that Ovan said from the beginning,that it may be a trap.Even if she doesnt do anything,he will come back,its only the fact that she can no longer lead the Twilight Brigade by herself.They look at each other,Shino aks him if Naobi told him that Ovan isnt coming back.He wonders why she is asking.She says,that Phyllo knows the Ovan she doesnt know and thats its possible he knew about Naobi.This is just based on her instinct,and doesnt think Phyllo has teamed up with Naobi.She then asks him,that Ovan didnt find the Twilight Bracelet,did he? Phllyo says,its just how it is.She realizes that its best to tell everyone the news first.

Back at the Root Town,Haseo and Tabby are standing around the Chaos Gate,when suddenly Shino warps in.She is wondering if they are waitin for Sakisaka,but they arent,instead they were about to go look for him.Shino says its not necessary but to go home.Haseo wonders if something happened,Shino doesnt answer him straightforward,but wants to tell everyone something important.In the fields,Sakisaka is busy taking down monsters one by one,which could probably be considered his way of releasing his anger.He is suddently interrupted with a message,and then returns to the guild home.Shino has come to a conclusion based on resources,that the Key of the Twilight does not exist.Haseo is surprised,while Saki speaks up asking her that this game does not have it.She says,that is the whole meaning of,does not exist.Saki goes quiet,then Haseo speaks up asking Shino about where Ovan is.She says he is having a little trouble,and doesnt think he will come back soon.Saki speaks up saying that he wont come back either way,if the Key of the Twilight doesnt exist and that he cant face us because of that.He wants to know what they should do now.Tabby wonders if they will close just like TaN did.Shino says they wont,and that Ovan will be back soon.Tabby likes her response,and suggests to wait,after all,he is never around anyways.Saki thinks she is stupid,and that this time it is different for them.Without the Key of the Twilight,he wont be back this time.Haseo speaks up saying,that nothing can be done no matter how pissed he is and does realize that Ovan isnt coming back either.Saki walks out of the place,saying he is sorry and will go get some add-ons.Tabby decides to follow after him,Shino then turns to Haseo and apologizes.He says there is nothing for her to apologize for,but also says,its not something he should say.They both go quiet while looking back at each other,until Shino breaks the silence by saying she will log out for today.Tabby is following after Saki,and telling him to wait up.He is too pissed to care,and continues to go on.Saki wants her to leave him alone,so he can think to himself.She wonders what he wants to think about.He answers her by saying,its a lot of things,Tabby then asks if he is going to quit the guild just like B-Set and Gord.Sakisaka stutters for a moment,saying that he wont.Tabby thought as much,and suggests they return.Suddenly Saki snaps and tells her to shut up,Tabby is surprised by his reaction.He then asks her,why she is so stupidly cheerful.Looking away from him,Tabby suddenly looks back at him and says she isnt just being cheerful because she wants to be.She quickly stops herself,realizing what she just said to him,Saki is speechless,Tabby's eyes show tears,quickly she turns away from him and runs off.
