Kirito throwing Silica to those orange players actually caught me off guard so much; I really didn't expect him to be that cold, even if he did save her pretty fast. But when he quietly mentioned his sister, it completely reframed his desperate quest for Pina in my mind – it felt less like a simple task and more like he was desperately trying to fix a past wound, and I just felt such a wave of relief seeing Pina safe in the end.
