As his sister, Suguha, sadly looks on, Kazuto continues to visit Asuna in the hospital in the hope of finding answers. But when one day he meets a man claiming to be Asuna’s fiancé, Kazuto fears that Asuna may be lost to him forever… That is until a fellow survivor of SAO taken form the latest VRMMORPG sensation, ALfheim Online – a screenshot that features someone being held captive who looks entirely too much like Asuna! His hope renewed, Kirito dives headlong into an all-new virtual adventure, but can true love conquer the game?!
