Asuna walked up slowly and wrapped her arms around me.
I still couldn't look her in the face, but her embrace brought purpose.
"Asuna...I'm...I'm sorry"
I had to say it, I didn't know if I would ever see her again.
She pulled me closer. Her tears ran onto my skin as she buried her face in my chest.
"Kirito-Kun..."
What do I say. Is there any way I could comfort her?
I had to say something, for her.
She kissed me before I could, her comforting embrace a glimmer of closure. I wanted this moment to last forever. But our world was falling apart, that was the only certainty.
We kept our lips together as a cacophony of white noise ripped through the air. Aincrad had been destroyed. The sky was gone, a monotonous white had engulfed our bodies. Asuna began to fade, particles of her body began ripping off into the endless white chasm. I held onto Asuna until my senses had disappeared, and my world faded to black.
'Asuna, I love you'
I heard nothing, my final words had been lost to this game.
I lost her, I had lost everything...
