Asuna POV:

"Have you told Kouichirou yet about me returning from the game"

"No, not yet, I've been too busy since you've come out of that world. I would either be working for the company or coming to visit you during my free time"

"Oh...Can you give me his number so I can surprise him" I said smiling at my father after finding out that my brother still didn't know me leaving the game

"That would be nice since how much he beat himself up about you getting trapped in the game. He was always depressed about the fact that he let his sister who he pampered so much get trapped in that death world"

I smiled at my father after what he said and thought about how my brother had lent me his nervegear to use on the day of the launch of SAO because of him getting called in for a sudden business meeting. I would constantly think about how my life would have been different if I hadn't entered the game and rather my brother was trapped.

Thinking on that thought, I looked out the window and realized my life would've been worse as my mother would've already married me off to some unknown suitor and how my life would be miserable. I thought of how my mother would grieve over my brother being trapped in the game and wondered if mother did the same for me when she heard the news.

I thought of how my life had gotten better upon entering SAO and all the experiences and memories I had forged in Aincrad. I looked back on my adventures through the first floors of Aincrad with Argo and how we had made a splendid team with a familiar blacks swordsman. I thought of meeting Liz, Agil, and Klein for the first time and how they had helped out with defeating the game. Then I thought of one person who would stay dear to my heart. Kirito.

I remembered how he had changed me as a person and had allowed me to truly see a world which wasn't even real. I thought back to him enjoying his meals whether they were bread with cream or S class meat. I thought of him enjoying the weather by laying down under trees. I thought of his raging spirit constantly working hard to return to this world while also constantly having fun each and every day. He was the person who I married as he was the first person to look at me and see who I truly was.

My Father looked at me and gave me a worried face and asked me what was wrong. I gave him a confused look and suddenly realized how I tearing up and a single tear left my eye.

"It's nothing, just looking back on what happened these past two years or so"

"I see... I understand if you don't wish to talk about those memories, but just remember I'm here for you"

He still had a worried face and I instantly realized that he thought I was crying about painful memories that I had suffered. However he was wrong, the tears that were coming out were those of missing happy memories that were created in that world and would stay trapped in there as well.

I looked back out the window and wondered were Kirito was right now and if he was thinking about me as I thought about him.

"Oh right I forgot to mention your mother has set you up with a suitor once you are fully discharged from the hospital"
