What if Eugeo survived and went to the Real World with Alice? When he discovers Kazuto wasn't awake, he wants to learn how to wake him up, with Alice's help.
Can Eugeo do the impossible, to wake his best friend up and what will happen when he does?
Kazuto and Eugeo sat across from each other. It felt kind of awkward for the two of them. They never had a proper talk since their reunion and that Kazuto also brought his best friends to other worlds that he knew before coming into the Underworld.
Eugeo finally got the courage to speak up, to make the awkward silence . "Kazuto, I... I'm so sorry."
The young teen looked at him with a puzzling expression on his face. He never expected him to apologize.
"What is there to apologize for?" He asked, being curious about what he meant by that.
"The reason I'm making an apology is that... I should've paid more attention of what my decision when we were battling against the Administrator.
To turn into the Blue Rose Sword without your knowledge of what could happen to me, and the effects it cause you.
I thought that turning into the sword was my way to protect you and Alice. I'm so selfish to think only about myself.
My burden of not protecting Alice when we were younger, it drove me to do the unforgivable desire to get myself killed.
I had no idea it would actually traumatize you. For that, I am truly am sorry for not noticing sooner." He explained of how he felt on that day.
"Eugeo..." Kazuto said, being amazed at the young swordsmen. Although, the burden he kept inside himself came out, like he wanted to say something too.
He couldn't handle his emotions as he immediately hugged his best friend, as the blond teen was totally stunned of his actions.
"Kazuto?" He asked, wondering of why he did such a thing.
"It should've been all the way around! I should be the one doing the apologizing to you, Eugeo!!!!
When you transformed, it did totally caught me way off guard, like to me, it was something you knew it was the possible outcome, but you ... didn't tell me.
I'm sorry that I couldn't stop you that day, to prevent you from getting yourself killed! I should've told you that you could fight alongside me!
I'm also sorry for not recognizing you too when we met again, back at the Ruild Village and told you the truth that I came from the real world, I figured that it would shock you if found out.
I kept my identity, my true self from you since the very beginning, I should've told you and Alice! I'm truly am sorry." Kazuto said, as he bow to his best friend, apologizing.
"Kirito...." Eugeo said, "Please raise your head. "
As he did, it show Eugeo who was actually crying and smiling of knowing that their own feelings were finally recognized to each other.

"You really are the same Kirito you're always been. Always humble, caring about what others needed, and also be very stubborn if needed to.
You always speak your mind. Kirito, I'm very proud to call you my best friend. It doesn't really matter to me of where you originally came from, you were the person I needed the most.
We're friends until the end, right?"
He raises his hand to offer their handshake that they always do, as Kazuto rubbed his tears away, as that he smiled at him.
"Always, thanks, Eugeo. I'm actually am glad you're here too."
Meanwhile, Asuna took Alice to a karaoke place as Alice titled her head, "This is what you people here have fun?"
"C'mon, you'll love it! I also invited the girls too in a group text." Asuna said, happily, as she led the blond girl inside.
Sugu waved, "Hi, Alice! This is going to be fun, how about you go first. We'll go in separate rounds ok?"
Alice was hesitant, because she never done anything like this before, as she choose a song that inspire her heart.
The girls were mesmerized of how she sang the song, like a beautiful melody, and the song truly helped her with how she had felt for the bond she had for Eugeo and Kazuto.
Although she wasn't there in their childhood, it still tugs her down, as if the burden she had buried inside, came bursting out and they never fade away.
As the song ended, the room felt completely silent. Somehow, Alice's tears came flooding down her cheeks.
It was Sugu who came towards her, as that she knew what the song was for, as she carefully pulls Alice towards her.
"Alice, your bond with my brother and Eugeo, it would not fade away. You gave up your life in the Underworld to live here with my brother.
Don't forget, you and Eugeo not just Kazuto to support you guys, you got friends here in this world too."
Alice looks at her friends who were beaming at her, as that they concur with what Sugu meant.
Asuna said, "No matter what, we'll be there whenever you need us. C'mon, let's continue our girl fun!"
The party ended as that Sugu and Alice begin to walk home together. Sugu stretched out her arms, "I had so much fun! It's so great to have a girl's night out! "
Alice nods, "Yeah. I never had a girl's night out before. It.. It was indeed fun. I wished my sister would've joined us."
"Oh, right. Kirito told me that you had a younger sister you barely knew. Well, it's going to be fine. I'm sure your sister would've wanted you to be happy being here, Alice."
"Do you honestly think so?" Alice asked her, as that felt uncomfortable of herself.
As they went to the front door of the Kirigaya household, they saw the two boys who were waiting for them to return.
"You took some time to get back. We were worried about you two." Eugeo said, putting his hands to his hips.
"Sorry! Asuna took Alice to a karaoke party and we lost track of time." Sugu explained, bowing apologizing to the worrisome boys.
"A what party? What is that even mean?" Eugeo asked, being puzzled of the explanation, but Kazuto wasn't too surprise, considering that his fiancée can be quite persuasive.
"Oh, Asuna did that huh? A karaoke party, that sounds like a lot of fun. Alice, did you enjoy yourself since that is a common thing in this world." Kirito asked.
She blushed, "I guess I did. It's something new to me. Wished that Silica would've join us."
She went upstairs to bed, as the trio looked at her . "Would she be all right, Kirito?"
"I am not sure, Sugu. I hope so." He replied back, but Eugeo said, "Let me try to talk to her. She would listen to me."
He ran after her, as he thought, "Alice, please, let me talk to you. I want to ask you something... something I should've asked long ago."
