Chapter 2: Phantasms Made Real

Although Hitsugi attempts to keep her experience inside Phantasy Star Online 2 a secret, she comes face to face with Hagith, a member of the group known as the Mother Corps, the company running Phantasy Star Online 2 that is actually a team of Aether-sensitives who have the ability to shape Aether into monsters called Phantasms. When her encounter with the player and Hagith causes Hitsugi to awaken to her own Aether potential, she allies with ARKS to figure out what's really happening with the Mother Corps.
