THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
New round of speculations from your friendly neighborhood CyanideKoolaid:

I think that Harold plays the role of the father in all of this. That much is apparent. His daughter, Aura, is the inanimate, colorless girl that Tsukasa has come into contact with on numerous occasions. And, since the bodiless voice that speaks to Tsukasa claims to be his/her mother, I am assuming that Tsukasa is also Harold's child... which would make Tsukasa and Aura sisters.

I could, of course, be completely and totally wrong, but I have a feeling I'm at least partially correct. I suppose I shall see soon.

Yeah i thought that too but does that mean aura was an unborn child? i mean tsukasa's in a coma in reality and only his consciousness is in the game.

It seems as though (in my eyes atleast) Sora mightbe the next one to get offed. I say this because, I feel as though the "mother" wants no one to find out about Aura, which is why she so quickly disposed of Harald.
Tsukasa's state still scares me. I hope he gets better soon.

So now we know who the 'voice' is, and the girl's name. Also we got to see Balmung! he seemed quite the reliable guy.

I wonder what will happen now, Sora managed to get to warped Aura, doesn't sound good.

So Tsukasa is still a vegetable and there are 2 factions at work. Time to bring Helba back into the fold.

I hope Macha doesn't get the same treatment Tsukasa did for bringing Subaru just bc of Sora. I think Macha is trying to help Aura and Tsukasa, but I'm not sure who Macha is. Aura's mother? ...no clue.

Also, hilarious banjo music when the Silver Knight was running from the monster X)

Balmung to save the day!

I wish they showed the fighting scenes, but i guess that would take up too much time :P

Sounds like Aura is a game creation to represent what Harold's parenting. And he tried to do right but is failing again. Something like that. I think Harold might be Tsukasa's father but not sure. Pretty cool episode after the very beginning.
