Ep. 15: Kazuto visits comatose Asuna and confronts Sugou's adoption plans while receiving a mysterious email.

Two months after the SAO incident, Kazuto visits Asuna in the hospital, where she remains comatose alongside 300 other players. He meets Shouzou, Asuna’s father, and his associate Nobuyuki Sugou. Sugou reveals his intention to be adopted into Asuna’s family to facilitate marriage while she is unconscious, enraging Kazuto. Later, Kazuto breaks down before his sister Suguha, who encourages him not to give up despite her own feelings and their cousin relationship. The following morning, Kazuto receives an email from Andrew Gilbert Mills, Agil’s real-life persona, containing a screenshot from another game showing an avatar resembling Asuna.
