No one's POV
Currently, Nhazul was at the cemetery with a bouquet of flowers and was currently looking we find Kotone's headstone.
Here lies Kotone Takemiya, a victim of the Sword Art Online VR game incident. Died at the age of 14
Nhazul: Hey,Kotone... Happy Birthday. I'm sorry it took me so long to come see you... I didn't forget about you. I could never forget about you...
???: Big bro!
Nhazul looked over and saw, Misumi, Nanako and Ryotaro walking up to him.
Misumi: I'm not surprised to see you already here.
Nhazul: Misumi? Nanako? Mr. Takemiya?
Ryotaro: I see you're here to wish her a happy birthday too.
Nanako: Big bro! Look at the picture I made for big sis! You think she'll like it?
Nhazul smiled, patting her head.
Nhazul: I don't think, I know.
As Nanako placed her picture on the grave, the three proceeded to pay respects to their late sister, daughter and best friend.
???,??? and ???: Nhazul!
The three of them looked back and saw Asuna, Suguha and Kazuto.
Nhazul: Asuna? Kazuto? Sugu? What are you three doing here?
Asuna: What do you think, silly? To wish Kotone a happy birthday.
Kazuto: Don't forget, we were close friends with Kotone too. The four of us spent a long time together in SAO too.
Suguha: And I may have not met her personal, but from all the stories you told me about her, I just had to come too.
Nhazul just smiled at them.
Nhazul: Yeah, I guess you're right.
As Asuna, Kazuto and Suguha all paid their respects, another voice could be heard, as everyone looked back to see Shino, surprising Nhazul.
Nhazul: Shino?
Shino: Why do you sound so surprised? Do you not want me here?
Nhazul: N-No...! It's not that. I just thought you wouldn't be comfortable since, you kno-OWWW!!!
Shino shut Nhazul up, by pulling on his cheeks.
Shino: I swear, despite how smart you are, you can be the biggest idiot sometimes... I know how important she was to you and how much she's helped you. I'd never get mad because of that.
Nhazul looked at her surprised, before he just smiled.
Nhazul: Thank you...
As Shino joined the others, she knelt next to Nhazul, as he held her hand and looked towards the grave.
Nhazul: Kotone. There's someone I want you to meet. Her name is Shino Asada. And she helped me fix my broken heart after I lost you.
Nhazul started to feel himself tear up, but continued to talk.
Nhazul: She's a lot like you, she's kind, sweet, caring, and she can be really mean and cold when she wants to.
Nhazul felt Shino lightly jab his side with her elbow, as he looked over and saw her pouting, and smiled.
Nhazul: But, I love her, all the same.
Nhazul started to feel the tears slide down his face as he continued to talk.
Nhazul: I've said this before, but I can't thank you enough, Kotone. If weren't for you, I would have been lost a long time ago...
After Nhazul finished talking, Shino spoke up.
Shino: Hey, Kotone. Happy Birthday. Everything that Nhazul said about me, can be said about him and then some. He always protected me, and even when I wanted to push him away, he continued to comfort me and help me face my past. He can be a handful at times, but I promise to take good care of him.
Nhazul smiled at Shino, as she placed her flowers on her grave along with Misumi's Asuna's Kazuto, Suguha, Nanako and Ryotaro's.
As well as cupcake, which Nhazul lit the candle on it. One last time, Nhazul placed his hand hand on the headstone and smiled
Nhazul: Goodbye, Kotone. I'll come visit you again soon.
As Nhazul stood back up and walked over to Shino, they both hold each other's hands and everyone looked at the grave.
Everyone: Happy Birthday, Kotone.
As everyone then started to walk away from the grave, the lit candle on the cupcake was blown away by a gentle breeze...
