No one's POV
After Sora and Kazuto rescued Asuna from Sugou, Sora would visited Rumia's grave everyday after school for one hour. Kotone, Asuna, and Kazuto would always come along with Sora during the weekends. And currently, Sora was standing in front of Rumia's grave planting flowers and had tears on his eyes.
Sora:...
Sora(mind): No matter how much pain it brings. I have no choice but to move forward. I know that's what you want right, Big Sis?
Sora had a saddened smile on his face and as he was standing, he heard a voice.
???: So your still here...
Sora looked to his side and looked surprised to see none other than Rumia's father, Glenn Radar.
Sora: Dad...
He looked at Sora annoyed.
Glenn: Don't call me that!
Sora: Sorry, Mr Radars....
Sora looked down saddened and went to look back at the grave and Glenn looked at Sora and saw his eyes is full of sadness and he just sighed.
Glenn: Tell me something. What is my daughter to you?
Sora didn't say anything for a few minutes until he spoke up.
Sora: She is the very person who safe me. The very first who sees me as a family. Ever since my parents died by a crime they never committed, my whole life have been nothing but loneliness, being bullied, lied by every person who took me in. And after 7 years of living hell, she was the very first person who showed me kindness. She accept me as nothing more than her precious little brother. The very first real family I had other than my parents. That's why for me, she is a very important person in my life..
Glenn looked at him and sighed before taking something from his pocket and gave it to Sora.
Glenn: Here...
Sora looked confused and grabbed it and he saw it was a locket.
Sora: This is...?
Glenn: Rumia left it and she wants me to give it to you. At first, I was furious that you got her trapped in SAO, and finding out that she was killed, I wanted to rip your NerveGear off your head and kill you.
Sora:...
Glenn: But, every time me and Rumia were together, she always talked about you. And how you were as a person. At first I didn't believe her, but I was wrong...Seeing you always come here everyday, leaving flowers. I came to understand the love that you had for my daughter was real.
Sora just looked at him.
Sora: Mr Radars...
Glenn: And after finding out the truth about your parents, I finally understand that everything that Rumia said about you was true. You really are a kind person. Look, I'm not asking for your forgiveness. I'm just saying that I want you to continue to be the person that Rumia sees in you.
Sora looked at him and Glenn saw that Sora started crying with multiple tears streaming down his face and thought about to what Rumia said to him.
(Flashback)
Rumia: Don't believe for one moment that you will be alone in this world. You will find friends and family that will care about you, just how like I was. I know... you are in a lot of pain right now. But, I know how strong you are and how strong your will is. You're not a bad person.
(Present)
Sora smiled at Glenn with tears in his eyes.
Sora: I will...I will continue to live for her, and for everything she believe in me...
Glenn just smile and waved him goodbye and Sora looked at the locket that Rumia gave him and opened it and he saw that it was a picture of him and her together before they dive into SAO and the two of them had the biggest smile in their face and Sora looked at her grave and started crying his eyes out.
Sora: Goodbye Big Sis. Thank you. I will continue living, for your sake and for mine as well...
As he was crying, he heard a silhouette of Rumia.
Rumia: I'll be waiting for the day when the two of us could be reunited once again, little brother...
Sora looked behind but saw nothing and he just smile knowing that Rumia still continue watching him from Heaven.
