Scene 07

Well, you've made it this far.

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

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

Hah, you're like me, then.

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

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

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

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.

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

Jeez, you've got me spilling my guts.
