A desperate (and foolish) attempt to rescue Asuna.
Guards, many guards.
The almost confession and the big revelation.
Loving the same person, both in real life and in game world, both unrequited, poor Suguha.
ALO players can fly, but there’s a limit of a maximum height they can reach. And Asuna is trapped in a location far higher than the limit. Now that Kirito is sure about Asuna’s location, he tried to fly as high as he could to reach Asuna, only to fall when he reached the system’s barrier.
His next effort is to follow ALO’s quest to actually reach the top of ALO World Tree where Asuna is. While this quest is supposed to be the ultimate quest for ALO players (obviously very difficult), Kirito challenged the quest alone, fighting hundreds of self spawning guards. And he failed, again, miserably.
Leafa comes to rescue Kirito, revives his avatar, and (almost) confesses to Kirito. Then she heard the word “Asuna” and suddenly realizes that the man she tried to fall in love with to get over her crush on her brother, is actually the brother himself. She falls in love, twice, with the same person, in two different worlds.
