She doesn't, but also, the first season doesn't end when Kazuto wakes up, the first and second seasons have 25 episodes each.

But Imma be honest with you, I think I would have preferred if she HAD died. Specifically how annoying her character begins to get. I... re-like her, I guess? Every time I rewatch the Aincrad arc, but after that, she just gets annoying and, frankly, gets absolutely no screen-time which could be used to rekindle my love for her character. She gets kinda dependant. On Kazuto, the Sleeping Knights in the Mother's Rosario arc, and other than that we don't see her. (It's also partially because of her that Yuuki is my least favorite character in SAO, period.) In the Aincrad arc, Asuna was independant and even at the end where she was doing everything with Kirito, she was still a fighter. Which annoys me even moreso that she chose to play as an Undine character in ALO. An almost exclusively support race in ALfheim. A Salamander would have fit her original personality far more. Even a Sylph or maybe even a Cait Sith. BRB, gotta go flip a table.
