In ".hack//SIGN" season 1 episode 8 "Promise," we see our main character, the wavemaster Tsukasa, struggling with his thoughts and emotions as he continues to be trapped inside The World - a virtual reality MMORPG. He has been unable to log out for several weeks, and his only connection to the outside world is through his friend Subaru.

Tsukasa meets with Subaru in the game, and she tells him that she's been trying to find a way to help him log out, but she's had no luck. Tsukasa is hesitant to trust her, as he's been betrayed before and fears that she may not have his best interests at heart. Still, he can't help but feel like he's being drawn to Subaru and her unwavering support.

As Tsukasa continues to grapple with his situation, he is confronted by two mysterious players named Mimiru and Bear.

Mimiru and Bear try to convince him that he needs to log out and return to the real world, but Tsukasa doesn't want to leave The World behind.

Meanwhile, Subaru is contacted by another player named B.T., who claims to have information about Tsukasa's condition. B.T. tells Subaru that Tsukasa is suffering from a condition called "coma anomaly," which means that he's trapped in The World because of something that happened to him in the real world. B.T. offers to help Subaru find a way to save Tsukasa, but warns her that it won't be easy.

With this new information, Subaru continues to search for a way to help Tsukasa, even if it means putting herself in danger. She meets with a programmer named Helba, who gives her a mysterious item that may hold the key to saving Tsukasa. As Subaru sets off to find a way to use the item, Tsukasa is confronted by a powerful enemy in the game - a fierce monster that he must defeat if he hopes to survive.

In the end, Subaru and Tsukasa come face-to-face in a touching scene that highlights their growing bond and mutual desire to help each other. They both make a promise to continue fighting for Tsukasa's freedom, no matter what obstacles they face.
