The Apocalypse has locked thirty thousand players inside the game, and no one knows what to do.  The larger guilds are taking over Akihabara, and outside the city violent groups are Party Killing other players.  A young female member of Marielle's "Crescent Moon Alliance" is trapped in Susukino, far to the north, and needs their help.  Shiroe feels somewhat embarrassed, but makes a decision.
but those bright lights kept you 
from seeing in the dark forest.
aber mit diesen hellen Lichtern
pero esa luz les evitó ver el bosque oscuro.
mais avec cette lumière,
la forêt a échappé à votre regard.
ma quelle luci intense vi hanno impedito 
di vedere nella foresta oscura.
mas aquela luz brilhante os impediu 
de olharem para a floresta escura.
они освещали пространство перед вами
и не давали всматриваться в темноту леса.
