[[Kirito]] and [[Asuna]] were sitting on a rocking chair outside of their home on floor 22. Kirito watched her while she slept on a peaceful day. But quickly, the color of the sky began to darken, the house itself began to fall apart before disappearing completely, leaving the rocking chair and Kirito remained. Kirito panicked as he tried to find Asuna and begins to hyperventilate. Right away, he woke up from the nightmare and got out of bed to found tears in his eyes. Wiped his eyes, he said "I've turned into a complete crybaby... Asuna".

At their family's dojo, they were getting ready to begin. Suguha giggled at Kazuto's stance, but Kazuto proclaimed it was his personal style. Suguha could see an opening in his stance to attack, but Kazuto attacked first. Eventually Suguha won by hitting his head, but quickly regrets hitting him, asking if he was alright. Kazuto told her that she is strong and [[Kayaba Akihiko|Heathcliff]] wouldn't stand a chance against her. Kazuto took a few steps back and swung and sheathed the shinai like he did with his sword in SAO, leaving Suguha confused and concerned. Realizing what he was doing, he told Suguha that it was old habits. While washing up, Kazuto notified Suguha that he wanted to do Kendo again and asked if she could teach him, much to her delight. Suguha asked what Kazuto was doing today and Kazuto responded he will be visiting Asuna in the hospital as usual, which made Suguha upset.

While Kazuto was riding his bike to the hospital, he narrated that it has been two months since he defeated Heathcliff. He traded information about SAO to the Ministry of Internal Affair's SAO Incident Task Force, in exchange for Asuna's whereabouts. He learnt that Asuna and three hundred players have yet to wake up. Many people believed that the still-missing Kayaba is behind it. Kazuto noted that the SAO incident is not over yet.

Kazuto visited Asuna who was still wearing the Nerve Gear, but he was not the only visitor. [[Yuuki Shouzou]], Asuna's father, and [[Sugou Nobuyuki]] also came for a visit. Kazuto told Shouzou that he was sorry for bothering him, but Shouzou encouraged Kazuto to come whenever he liked because it would make Asuna happy. Shouzou introduced Kazuto to Nobuyuki who was a family friend's son. Nobuyuki was overjoyed to learn that Kazuto was the hero who saved everyone in SAO, in addition shared news with Shouzou that he wanted to make it official. Shouzou is shocked but asked if he was certain, since he was so young. Nobuyuki reassured him that his heart had always been set on one thing and wanted Asuna to wore the dress while she was still beautiful, surprising Kazuto. Shouzou then left the room to attend a meeting.

Nobuyuki, now showing his true colors, grabbed Asuna's hair and starts to sniff it, angering Kazuto. Nobuyuki told him that the chat with Shouzou was about Asuna's marriage to him, shocking Kazuto even more. Nobuyuki informed Kazuto while touching Asuna's face that she never liked him, and it was likely that she would reject his marriage proposal, so he was taking advantage of the situation to marry her. Kazuto grabbed Nobuyuki's arm to stop him from touching Asuna, but he pulled back. Annoyed, Kazuto asked if he was trying to take advantage of the fact Asuna was in a coma. Nobuyuki told him that it was his right. Nobuyuki further explained that [[Argus]] went bankrupt and the SAO servers was entrusted to the [[RECTO Progress Inc.|RECTO Progress Inc]], which Asuna's father was the CEO. Nobuyuki worked under the Full-Dive Technology Research Division, concluding that he was the one who is keeping Asuna alive and thought he can ask for a repayment. He then told Kazuto to never come back or have any contact with Asuna's family. Before leaving, Nobuyuki told Kazuto that the wedding is in one week and seeking to bring misery to Kazuto, invited him to the wedding.

In a flashback prior to Kazuto's 16<sup>th</sup> birthday, while he was trapped in SAO, his aunt [[Kirigaya Midori]] told Suguha, when Kazuto was just 10 years old, he found out about his real parents. His parents died in an accident and Kazuto was Midori's nephew, making Kazuto and Suguha cousins, not siblings. Suguha asked if that was the reason he began to play online games. Midori replied that that was not the reason, as Kazuto was already into making machines from junk parts when he was young and believed he inherited her own love of computers. Suguha is surprised that her "brother" is actually her cousin.

Kirito in his house

Suguha was outside having her morning practice with her shinai while having flashbacks of all the events that had happened during and after the Sword Art Online incident. She was not aware that Kazuto was watching her. Kazuto tossed her a water bottle and held her shinai stating that it was light. This shocked Suguha because the shinai was made of timber bamboo and was considered heavy, she wonders what he was comparing the shinai to. Kazuto then challenged Suguha to a kendo match. In an attempt to intimidate Kazuto, she asked if he could stand a chance against a quarter-finalist in a middle school nationals but also question his physical state, regarding his body. He reassured her that he can and will show her his results from all the rehab he had done in the gym.
