Kazuto: You should see the interior. It's like a hotel.
Standing outside at the foot of the gateway of the general hospital, Kirito, or as he's known in real life, Kazuto Kirigaya, walks past the gate as he waves at the security guard with his adopted sister, Suguha. Not having class today, she decided to join him as he went and visited his girlfriend who was currently in a comatose state, even after the game SAO ended. Suguha, the very picture of good health, looked around curiously at the unfamiliar setting, so he had to drag her over to the desk for our visitor passes before making their way to the elevator. They got off on the top floor and walked down the empty hallway to the last room.

Suguha: Sarai... Hachi... She's just like you Kazuto. Mixing their first and last names to come up with your usernames.

Suguha: Who else used their real name in-game?
Kazuto: A friend of mine... her name was Asuna.
Instantly, the thick scent of flowers flooded out. He stifled the sound of his breath and walked into the chamber of the serene, sleeping girl. He could feel the tension in Suguha's body as she stayed right next to him. He put a hand on the white curtain and said the same quick prayer he always did. Then he slid it aside.
Next to her, Kazuto watched in silence, until he finally took a short breath and whispered.
Kazuto: Let me introduce you. This is Sachi, of the Moonlit Black Cats.
