November 6 2042 exactly 20 years after the SAO incident there is a planned 'event' so to speak to reenact the events but without the Death. Now you may be wondering who I am. My name is Ninjato, yes I am named after a sword. Something both my parents were very into. I have my dad's black hair and my mom's red eyes. They were also so into full dive that their work in that field basically consumed their time. I never really understood it. Even when my AI sister tried to explain it I still didn't get it. So unlike most people I remained detached from that virtual space.
Then one day an ad came on about the SAO reenactment and I remembered my sister talking about SAO and one point. So I signed up for it and eventually forgot about it. Then one day got a email about how I was selected to take part and was to go to the hospital on November 6, 2042. At first I debated on if I should do it or not. But after sleeping on it I decided to as it was a once in a lifetime thing.
On the day I went to the hospital and like many other people I checked in. Then I was taken to one of the hospital rooms with a open bed and was given a gown and a medical bracelet with my information on it to put on behind a curtain. I think the strangest part was when the nurse came to put in the catheter and other tubes. That's when it became serious for me. You hear stories about how the SAO incident lasted 2 years but you don't hear about all the things they had to do to keep them alive in the hospital.
As the nurse walks away I quickly ask. "Could you show me how to use this? I don't have one and have never used one before." Pointing and the Amusphere in my hand.
The Nurse smiles and comes over. "What you do is turn it on but it's already on so you don't have to worry, put it on your head, and say 'Link Start', ok sweetie?"
"Thanks. Link start."
