Leafa: That means... That means... That this person is...
Akiri: Leafa? What's wrong?
Leafa then covered her mouth in complete shock, looking at Kirito as she realized who he is.
Leafa: Kazuto... Is that you...?
Kirito: Sugu? Suguha?
Akiri: (thoughts) They know each other?
Leafa: This is cruel... it's just too much......
Kirito: S-Sugu?
Leafa didn't say anything and just quickly logged out.
Kirito: Sugu!
He tried to reach for her, but he was already too late as she disappeared right in front of him.
Akiri: Who was she?
Kirito: She's... She's my sister...
Akiri looked at Kirito surprised.
Akiri: You have a sister?
Kirito: She's technically my cousin. But we grew up together so she's basically my little sister. But I don't know why she overreacted...
Akiri: I see...
He said as he crosses his arms.
Akiri: Well, I might be wrong, but I think I may know why
Kirito: You do?
Akiri: Yeah. And it's something you need to hear from her
Kirito: Right...
Kirito then opened his menu and logged out, leaving Akiri alone at the entrance of Yggdrasil.
(Timeskip)
It's been about an hour since Kirito and Leafa had logged out.
Currently, Akiri is leaning against the base of one of the statues at the entrance of the World Tree, waiting for them to log back in.
He then saw someone logging in in front of him and he looked to see that it was Leafa and he approached her.
Akiri: Hey
Leafa: Hey...
She replied half-heartedly before sitting down on the stairs and Akiri sat beside her.
Akiri: How are you feeling?
Leafa: I'm... I'm okay...
There was a moment of silence before Akiri spoke out again.
Akiri: You loved Kazuto, more than a brother, didn't you?
Leafa looked at him shocked.
Leafa: How did you...?
Akiri: Earlier, when you said you're heartbroken. And your reaction when you found out that Kirito was your brother just made it clearer
Leafa just stayed silent and looked down on the ground, saddened.
Akiri: I understand what it's like... Getting your heart broken...
Leafa: You do?
He nodded in reply
Akiri: And recovering from it is far from easy
Leafa: Yeah...
She said while still keeping her gaze on the ground. She then turns her head slightly towards Akiri.
Leafa: Did you get over it? Your heartbreak?
Akiri: Well... To tell you the truth, no... Even I still haven't gotten over it
