Silica is one example of what happens to players who face cyberbullying. When we met Silica and Pina she was being bullied by Titan's Hand. Silica ran away and got lost in the woods where she was ambushed by Drunken Apes who killed Pina. Kirito who was hiding nearby saved her and took her to town where he got her a room at the inn and gave her her cloths and weapons. First thing Kirito did was he taught her how to defend herself. They went up to Level 47 and she got ambushed by Venus Flytraps, Garish Gerberas, and Land Anemones. Silica killed them all and leveled up. When it came time to get the flower Titan's Hand showed up and threatened to rob her. Kirito drew his sword to protect Silica and told Silica that Rosalia is the leader of Titan's Hand and he has a warrent for her arrest and all the members of her guild. After Rosalia kicked Silica out she robbed the Silver Flags and killed their members except the leader who handed the crystal to Kirito with instructions to use it on the Titan's Hand to send them to jail. Rosalia refused to surrender and pleaded to Kirito to spare her so he would not go orange. He told her that he is a solo player and he would not mind being orange. Rosalia surrendered and was sent to prison with her guild. Kirito apoligized for using Silica as bait and promissed to Silica when they got out he would introduce her to Leefa and the rest of the girls in their party. Long story short. Silica and Kirito became friends and true to his word he introduced her to Leefa, Asuna, Liz, and Sinon and these five girls quickly became friends.
