Scene 16

Asuna

This is going pretty smoothly, thanks to you.

Asuna

Kirito's going to be so surprised when he sees these. I haven't said a word to him about any of this.

Asuna

Ah, speaking of which—I hope you don't have a bad impression of Kirito...

Asuna

Beaters get a bad rap, but the stories are exaggerated.

Asuna

He saved my life, you know. If he weren't around—well, I wouldn't be around, either.

Asuna

But he also taught me that the most important thing in life is to just keep going.

Asuna

Every day we survive, we gain valuable experience—and I don't mean the numbers we see growing on our UI.

Asuna

And honestly? I really don't know if I can beat 100 floors.

Asuna

But I keep growing more and more hopeful.

Asuna

Not just hopeful about beating the game or going back to reality...but hopeful about my chances to stay alive, to trudge on, day after day.

Asuna

Anyway, that's why I fight as hard as I do.
