Ep. 23: Asuna guides Yuuki through school and visits her old home to discuss family bonds and strength.

Following her reunion with Yuuki, Asuna uses a Bidirectional Communication Probe to show her around the school, where Yuuki gains popularity among classmates. They then visit the soon-to-be-demolished Konno residence, prompting Yuuki to reflect on her mother’s protective nature. Yuuki advises Asuna that strength comes from honesty rather than endurance, suggesting she communicate openly with her own mother. Asuna invites Kyouko to log into ALO using a sub-account, where Kyouko recalls her childhood home. Asuna explains her desire to stay at her current school to support loved ones, realizing that others' happiness contributes to her own. Kyouko agrees but insists Asuna must improve her grades to attend university, making any potential transfer contingent on Asuna's academic progress. Asuna accepts this condition before departing.
