Sinon:Maverick,let me ask you something,do you regret killing all those people?

Maverick:No.

Sinon:Then how did you get over what you did?How are you  not affected by it?How are you so strong you're not controlled by it?!

Maverick:Why do you want to know?

Sinon:I don't know what i'm supposed to do.I-I can't-

I cut Sinon off my stroking her hair.She looked at me with bewildered expression on her face.

Maverick:I'm not strong Sinon.I'm just a 18-year old guy who's probably a little psychotic.Those choices I made,affect me.

Sinon:Then how?

Maverick:The way I see things,I got past it by moving forward.Some choices we make are in a flash and we don't have time to fully assess the situation so we take whatever is the best choice in our eyes and we have to deal with the consequences later.All we can do is make the decision and live with it.Taking someone's life was never my intent when I first logged into SAO and i'm hoping that after this is all done,I can finally put an end to old wounds from SAO.And with you,Sinon.Maybe the closure you're looking for lies in acceptance.

Sinon:Closure.....by accepting it?What do you mean?

Maverick:The way I see it,you're running from your fear.Using this game as a painkiller to hide your fear when in reality,the cure you're looking for is by coming to terms to what you did.Know this though...

Sinon:?

Maverick:My strength doesn't all come from myself.My strength also comes from the support of my friends and family.

We both laid there in a brief moment of silence until Sinon spoke up.

Sinon:Death Gun....

Maverick:?

Sinon:It's hard to believe that under that cloak,there's a real life person who just wants to kill.

Maverick:Not all people are born good.Some people are born with a psyche that want to hurt people.I wish I knew his screen name in SAO because then i'd be able to figure out his real name and address.

Sinon:Oh,then maybe his reason for being here is because he likes Pking.Maybe he misses the rush of doing it in SAO.You think?

Maverick:No because if that was the case he'd probably go to a game like SAO such as ALO.No,this guy likes to do public executions with the biggest audiences possible.And the cross he shows........cross he shows.

Sinon:How does he kill people?

Maverick:It's not brain damage like NerveGear.It's heart failure according to the authorities.

Sinon:Heart Failure?My god....

Then I started piecing everything together.

Maverick:Hold on my Cole Phelps is kicking in!

Sinon:Your what?

Maverick:Remember in the ruins when he had his handgun over you?When me and Kirito started shooting at him he switched back to his sniper but he only kills with the handgun so the question is:Why did he switch?

Sinon:Yeahgood question.

I looked down and noticed Sinon's ass cleavage.My mind's telling me no,BUT MY BODY'S TELLING ME YEAH!Thank you Reki for this treat!

Maverick:Maybe......wait that's it!The killings in game can't kill them alone,it takes preparation!

Sinon:Now you lost me.
