When Yolko disappeared, David and Kirito look and see a hooded man on the rooftops.

David: I'll go after him! You guys stay here!

Asuna: Hang on!

David goes after the hooded man as he takes out a teleport crystal. He uses his throwing knives at the hooded man and he disappeared just before he reached the ground.

David: Darn! He got away!

He heads back to the inn.

Penny: Did you get him?

David: He got away with a teleport crystal just as I hit him.

Kirito: Inns are designed to protect everyone inside, so I assumed we would be safer here. Damn!

He punches the wall.

Schmitt: That robe he was wearing was Griselda's.

Kirito: Huh?

Schmitt: That was Griselda's ghost. She came back to life to seek vengeance! If she is a ghost then it's very easy to PK in safe zones!

David: Are you sure about that? I think you're being paranoid.

Kirito: That was no ghost. There's gotta be a logical explanation behind the safe zone murders. There has to.

At night they head to the park.

Asuna: I wonder if that person wearing the robe really was Griselda's ghost. After seeing something unbelievable happen twice, I'm starting to think it's not to far fetched.

Kirito: That's definitely impossible. If it was a ghost it wouldn't have escaped with a teleport crystal.

Penny: And even if it was a ghost I doubt it would commit murder in a safe zone.

Kirito: Wait a minute. Teleport crystal?

David: What's up?

Kirito: It's nothing.

Asuna takes out a sandwich and gives it to Kirito.

Asuna: Here.

Kirito: Is this for me?

Asuna: Of course. Why else would I give it to you? It's not like I'm mocking you or anything.

Kirito: Thank you.

Asuna: I also got some for you guys too.

David: Is it something special?

Asuna: Not really. It's actually a sandwich.

David: Oh. Normally I prefer something special but thanks!

Penny: Yeah, thanks Asuna.

Asuna: You're welcome.

They eat the sandwiches.

Asuna: It's gonna expire and disappear soon so you better eat it quick.

David: Man. This is good.

Kirito: It's delicious. So, where did you find the time to pack lunch?

Asuna: I did say it was gonna expire soon. So I thought we didn't have much time to eat so I packed it in the morning.

Kirito: Never expected this from the Knights of the Blood Oath assault team representative. Where did you get this from anyway?

Asuna: I made it.

Penny: You did?

Asuna: I can cook you know.

David: Man. You really outdid yourself with this. Love it!
