II get what you mean, but it’s different with Alice, she doesn’t have any backstory with the main cast. Well, let’s just hope she’ll be used as a simple plot device and nothing more. Hey, maybe they’ll fail the trial because of Inoda, and she won’t make it into the game. That would be best. Tbh, either way, she’s a character that would just make things too complicated, because realistically she’d stay by Kirito’s or Asuna’s side, which would restrict their interactions too much. Idk, the more I think about it, the more bs this seems
