What if, as Yuuki Konno took her final breath and began her ascension into the next world, someone or something intervened? What if, against all odds, she was given a second chance?... (Yuuki X Asuna, Kirito X Sinon, Eiji X Yuna. Takes place right after 'Ordinal Scale! Spoiler warning!) (On a small hiatus due to later plot restructuring.)

Kirito is our hero in the story. But even heroes need saving. Who saves the heroes though? Their friends, of course. This is also a story involving The Kirito Protection Squad. One-Shot.
