Kirito POV:

I was laying in my bed after having just woken up from a nightmare. I was laying there with my eye's all teary and pain spread across my face. I had a dream about my final battle with Heathcliff. However, this time Asuna was unable to get in the way between us and I had died without being able to beat the game. I was forced to watch Asuna struggle through the rest of SAO about her losing me and how I was unable to comfort her. It was something that I would never allow to happen.

I got up from my bed and wiped my tears as I looked around my room. Alice had gotten us a house right after the meeting Eugeo and I had with Agil so that we wouldn't have to stay at a hotel for too long and also paid it off with the rest of her money which was originally going towards the academy her and Eugeo were attending. The amount of money she earned through the will of her parents was ridiculous. We had only just moved in last night and the room was empty as it only had a bed and a couple of boxes with furniture we had bought yesterday.  

I looked over to the clock which was on top of the door and read 6:48. It was quite early in the morning and I decided to lay back down and rest from yesterday fatigue. I thought about the meeting which was gonna take place tonight at Agil's cafe and how everyone was gonna react about seeing me there.

Klein would most likely be crying for a second about me returning and then got on me about where I had been. Every time I thought about that scenario, it would always bring back memories about me revealing my dual wielding in the seventy-fourth boss room.

Lisbeth would be running over and punch me for not returning earlier to them and then become all sappy. I smiled when I thought of that image and how I would annoy her constantly when we were back in the game.

Silica was probably gonna be like how my sister felt when she saw me in the hospital when I got out of the game, filled with various different emotions and stay quiet and just enjoy my return.

Thinker and Yulier were two people I had not gotten close to very much but were people I could still trust after how they helped Asuna and me later on when we had lost Yui. Yulier came over sometimes and would help with the cooking and Thinker and I discussed ways to stop Kibaou's dictatorial leadership.

Then Asuna came to mind. I couldn't think of any reaction from her. Every time I thought about her, I could only imagine the amount of worry she must have gone through due to me not being able to contact her.

After an hour or so of thinking of various scenarios, I finally got up and went over to the bathroom to freshen up and get ready for the day. I was still thinking of the scenario's that could occur and would always get worried about whether they still remembered me or not.

After my shower, I grabbed a couple of clothes from one of the boxes and started to put them on. I then headed over to the biggest box in the room and opened it up. The box held the parts to a desk which we had bought yesterday before we started moving. I started to get working on the desk to stop all the thoughts of the meeting going through my head.

In an hour, I had fully built the desk and headed over to another box with the words written on it saying "Budget Storage". The box was from a storage unit which held the furniture that my aunt and uncle couldn't take with them when they moved. I opened the box and revealed an old PC which I had built when I was younger along with the rest of the system.
