"Hey Kirito, do you think we are ever going to escape this game? We have been on the frontlines for what felt like forever and everyone are slowly losing hope of ever escaping. If i'm being honest, so am I..."

Silence....

"Of course we'll escape, I'm going to continue fighting on the frontline all the way to the 100th floor, even if I'm the only one left standing" Kirito said with a confidence look in his eyes. But I knew that deep down, he too, was scared of not returning.
