Read the note below that trivia.

In addition to this, in the Web Novel version of the story, Kirito's and Sachi's relationship was depicted as being more intimate, and close. In the Published version however, it's possible that much of the information from that Q&A (including Kirito's love for Sachi) was retconned, which is implied by subtle changes in the text, regarding Kirito's memory of her. As such, Sachi being "Kirito's first love" is likely only canon to the old Web Novel version of the story. The mention of the year, "2005" should have been a dead give-away, seeing as the Light Novel was published in 2009.

And where did this talk about a fatherly figure come from? I don't recall anything like that..
