Eugeo has been still shock that he was actually a human soul, a Fluctlight. Alice was one too, and seeing their best friend in a coma-like state really hit him hard. 

He was his childhood best friend, and his companion that accompanied him to Swordfight Academy, being a mentor to two girls, Ronye Arabel and These Shorolienen.

Being their mentors was so incredible to Eugeo and despite that they broke the Taboo Index of protecting them was like a memory that he wouldn't ever forget. 

Thankfully, Higa had provided rooms for both of them, as that in Ocean Turtle was a big and secure place, it was something he needed to calm his nerves down. 

He was lost in thoughts, thinking of how long that he could do to help his best friend, a knock came to his door as it was a black female that he never seen before. 

"You must be Eugeo, right? I hear from Higa that you helped my brother in the Underworld, is that true?"

Eugeo was stunned, as he tripped on his feet, as that the young teen seem to be shocked of his actions. 

"Are you ok?" She asked him, as he rubs his head, felt total embarrass of his actions, "Y-Yeah. Damn, that's not I had in mind. I have to get use of this new body of mine. Wait, are you related to him?

To Kiri- I mean, Kazuto?" He asks her. 

"Yes, I am. My name is Suguha Kirigaya. It's a pleasure to meet you, Eugeo." 

Both of them was super silent, of what to say to one other, since both of them didn't know each other that well, as that the only connection they have is Kirito. 

He finally spoke up, "I can tell you what your brother was like, in the Underworld I mean. It would give you the insight of the Kazuto I knew." 

"I would love that." Sugu replied, as Eugeo took a deep breath as to recalling the memories he had. 

He told her of the day of when they were children, and of how he was amazed by Kazuto's spiritual enthusiasm, and all the encounters they had of the Integrity Knights and the way of how Kirito battles encourages him whenever he had doubts. 

Eugeo also refers of Kirito being the big brother he never had growing up, as Sugu was amazed of his stories. 

"It sounds like Kazuto really puts the people he loves first before himself, that is how he is. All this time, his PSTD, of having to kill people was too much for him to bear. 

He never told anyone of it, but it just keep eating inside of him. Also, that being with his fiancée, Asuna Yuuki, I can tell how much that they are to each other." 

"How could he kept that as a secret from Alice and me, about any of this? About his real life, here in the Real World?" Eugeo asked curiously. 

Sugu shrugs, "I have no idea why, it's not like him to keep secrets from either of you." 

Eugeo just puts his hands, covering his face, "I just feel so hopeless. Kazuto is in trouble, and I didn't know how danger he was in!"

"Eugeo... We can save Kazuto. We can, but only if you and Alice talk about what you want to do. It's your choice." 

The way that Sugu said it, it really gave Eugeo the boost he needed. He walks to the door, as Sugu asked, "H-Hey! Where you going?"

"To talk to Alice. You're right, I can't just stand here moping. I have to get Kazuto to wake up from this awful mess and also, I'm curious about something." 

"What is it?" She asked. 

"About what Kazuto is doing in this very moment, and does he know that I'm here, in the real world with Alice?"
