Hopelessly, Damond watched as Kayaba's sword slashed across Asuna's chest. Kirito caught her, and looked down at her limp body, the glowing orange gash slightly illuminating his face; his expression was that of utmost horror.

"You've got to be kidding me, right? Asuna?" Kirito said in a soft, horrified voice. Asuna smiled slightly. "I'm sorry." Asuna's face held a look of tranquility. "Goodbye." Her avatar started to glow, and within seconds she was nothing more than a mass of glowing polygons blowing away in an unfelt wind.

At that moment, Damond, Daigen and Fleterik all knew that it was over. Everyone in the room on the Seventy-Fith floor of Aincrad had lost hope.
