Actually, I have a theory that no matter how much we want to, Suguha's role will be a sad one. I've written before that he and Liz, as the main secondary characters, don't have enough scenes with Kirito everywhere. And now after a while watching Fujino give Liz to Inoda, even though everyone thought it would be a gradual process, but here it's just rape. Maybe he's preparing a different ending for Sugu, too. After all now she's almost the main secondary character and influences the plot a lot, but she only has 1 full scene and 3 mini scenes. Which is like very little for such a role, even Liz has more. They wrote that she's smarter than Liz and that she can't be fooled so easily, but it's worth understanding that Liz only felt disgust for Inoda and there was nothing in the irl. Nevertheless, it didn't visit Fujino to give her away at the snap of her fingers, making up that Suguha had prearranged the soporific gas in the toy. It also just so happened that she'd taken it to the room where Inoda was. He could just as easily set things up for her, and not necessarily even with Inoda. So it's not fate as I see it, it's very vague.
