Elk knows Mia likes Aromatic Grass, so he collects it to give to her. He doesn't want it for himself.

anything can happen

as you know Elk was like an outcast IRL. and mainly around in "The World" since Mia actually hangs out with him and cares for him like a friend (and then some) he gives her aromatic grass as a condolence.

There is some one for Everyone, it cany be Anyone or No one.

in Elk's case *like Tsukasa's and Bear's* the world is more like a "second chance"

Interesting, very interesting. "The World" to them, is a place where they can do things that can't normally be done IRL.

One of Elk's reasons for playing "The World" is so he can make friends in the game world. He's not a very social person in the real world, and has a hard time communicated, thus he doesn't really have too many friends. It's the same for a lot of people, but for some reason it's easier to gain friends via Internet.

Of course in the game you meet the duo already interesting in collecting Aromatic Grass, but I'm sure when Elk first met Mia, since she had the instinct for finding it, Elk decided to help her out.

it does not contain the data of macha/maha like you said.. that was proven wrong by Kima of Gamefaqs

[spoiler]Mia collects it because of when tsukasa gave her that blade of grass, she took it as a token of friendship, when she was Data Drained it turned into Aromatic Grass which Mia now collects because she remembers Tsukasa a little bit and the peice of grass he gave her[/spoiler]
and thats the gist of it

If it has been proven wrong, please tell me what the proof is and provide a link, if possible.

okay heres the link to the topic first
http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmes ... c=14140766
and heres the exact quote from Kima
[spoiler] Aromatic Grass isn't really supposed to be called Aromatic Grass(that part is added by me to reduce confusion and its what kima is talking about heres the quote)It's Japanese name is Enokoro Kusa which exactly translates to Foxtail Grass.

It's not Data of Maha. Tsukasa gave Maha a blade of Grass. In episode 25 Maha turned it into Foxtail Grass to show her happiness to him. She got Data Drained, her Data became Mia. Mia's memories were fragmented. Wandering a field with players made her think she too was a player. The reason she collects the Foxtail Grass is because the feild she was wandering was full of it. She loves it sense it sparks a memory about Tsukasa. That's why she collects it. It's not Data of Maha. It's simply something you pick from a field, just like in real life. It grows in fields. That's all. However in the PS2 game you can actually collect it from Grunties. It's in game purpose is to raise her affection +100 each time. It's real storyline purpose is she goes to fields with Elk to pick it since it reminds her of Tsukasa's kindness.

Also note: She met Elk in the field she showed up in and saved him. She became friends with him since he too reminds her of Tsukasa. [/spoiler]
