.hack//4koma: Peaco's Story
After the third network crisis ends, Atoli soon enters a relationship with Haseo. However, over time her clingy personality becomes too much for Haseo too handle, and he begins avoiding her. Believing that Haseo is repulsed by her, she asks Pi for relationship advices, who initially declines. It isn't until Atoli takes out a box cutter to cut her wrist that Pi finally agrees to help, telling Atoli that she has to "change on a fundamental level". Atoli misinterprets her words, instead making a new character, a Twin Blade called Peaco.

Later at Canard, Alkaid is complaining to Silabus that she cannot get near Haseo due to the new guild-member Peaco around. As Peaco and Haseo walk in, they scare Alkaid off and leave for a beginners' field in the Delta Server. When Haseo claims that field his favorite area in the game, Peaco feels sad, and runs to Pi when she realizes that the field Haseo took her to is the same place where he got mad at Atoli for liking it, back when they first met. Pi tells Peaco that Haseo has matured since then, and that she should do the same.

Empowered, Peaco rushes to the field Haseo is training at. Ignoring warnings that it is far too dangerous, Peaco is attacked by a monster when Haseo appears and yells "Atoli!", but Peaco knocks it out in a comedic fashion while Haseo stands there and wonders why he bothered getting into a cool pose. Peaco then attempts to confess her feelings, but Haseo explains that he knew who she was all along, and that it doesn't matter what Atoli looks like because she, Chigusa, and Peaco are all the same person and that he appreciates her company no matter her appearance.

Trivia
