Sinon: Even though I hate your guts...let me borrow your lap...

Sinon then laid her head on Zora's lap and they didn't say anything for a few seconds until Sinon spoke up.

Sinon: I...I...killed someone...

Zora didn't say anything and looked at her, and Kirito who was in front of the cave narrow his eyes when he heard that.

Sinon: About 5 years ago, in a small town up north, this guy tried to rob a post office...The news said the robber died cause, his gun went off accidentally. But the truth is, I was there...I grabbed his gun...and shot him dead.

Zora: How old were you?

Sinon: 11 years old. And ever since then, whenever I see a gun...I start throwing up and I pass out. If I see a gun, I see the face of the robber the way he look right before he died. And then I...I get so scared...

Zora: Really...?

Sinon: Yeah...but in this world, I don't have those problem. That got me thinking...if I can become this strongest in the game...then I'll be strong IRL...and maybe even forget what I did...but, just now, when Death Gun had me pinned...I was terrified. And just like that, I wasn't Sinon anymore. I was the real me again. I'm scared to die...I am...Although, what's worse is living with this fear. It's so painful I rather be dead. But I know, If I run away...from Death Gun in my past, I'll end up weaker than before. I will...I know it...

Zora: Yeah...I understand exactly how you feel...

Sinon: You do...?

Zora: Yeah...I killed someone too.

Sinon looked at Zora shocked.

Sinon: What?!

Zora: Me and Kirito mentioned it once, about how I knew Death Gun...we fought before when we were stuck at another game. I'm sure you've heard of it...Sword Art Online...

Sinon then looked Zora completely shocked.

Sinon: Oh my GOD...I knew it...

Zora: Yeah...I'm a survivor of SAO, along with Kirito...and so is Death Gun...And back then...he was a red player and his guild...they called themselves Laughing Coffin...PK. They had to be stopped, so one day...a party was formed to capture them and send them all to prison. Me and Kirito were in that party. They found out about our plans and they ambushed us...but that's not the first time they ambushed us.

Sinon: What do you mean?

Zora: It was once...me and my sister trust someone...they were asking for our help...and so we did. But, we were ambushed instead...and my sister was killed by their leader. They killed the last remaining family I had in this world...and the real world.
