Scene 11

Kirito

Not bad at all. Only Asuna's been able to keep up with me till now.

Kirito

I know I said it before, but I've only made it this far by focusing on strength, and strength alone.

Kirito

It's because I want to escape this world as soon as possible—and because I don't want to die. It also helps that I hate that bastard Akihiko Kayaba's guts.

Kirito

But do I let these feelings dictate my actions? Or do I go the stoic route? It's tough to say...

Kirito

Maybe, in the end, that's why I pursued strength above all else.

Kirito

And why I first partied up with Asuna. I was sure she'd help me get stronger...

Kirito

That's what I thought would happen, anyway...
