/"Excuse me?!/" Vivian stepped back.
/"I came to meet Kirito. Is he home?/" He asked.
/"Oh! You're Kirito's friend?/"
/"Friends? I'm his uncle./"
/"I see. Nice to meet you, uncle. But I guess he'll be home late today. Sorry./"
/"Is that so?/" Kurosava smiled /"It's okay, I'll wait/"
/"Fine, if you want to./"
Erika ranted about her troubles to Kirito as he looked at his drink while tapping his feet. Arata looked at him while cleaning the glass. Kirito was in a different world. He just stared at the glass in front of him. He was in a daze.
'I said all that Erika but am I not the same? You're not there when I'm happy, but you make sure you're there when I'm not. And what am I doing? I am not there when you need me. I'm not with you right now. You say that I am no longer alone. If I can no longer be alone, then so can't you!'
