Scene 07

Kirito

Well, you've made it this far.

Kirito

I'm curious—do you ever regret booting up this game?

Kirito

I guess most people would agree—you'd have to be pretty weird to say otherwise.

Kirito

Hah, you're like me, then.

Kirito

My days may be full of fear and despair, but at least I'm free from regret.

Kirito

That's probably because I've never had to face death like I have here.

Kirito

IRL, no one really dies certain they did all they could to prevent it. There's always an element of futility involved.

Kirito

That's why, if I end up dying in Aincrad, at least I'll die satisfied. I'll know I did everything I could to stay alive.

Kirito

But at the same time, I feel some degree of responsibility...A duty to fight for other people, so we can all avoid death...

Kirito

Jeez, you've got me spilling my guts.
