But the fact is that Asuna is fully aware of her guilt, at least in the last scene, she understands what she is doing and refuses to resist it. I'm wondering why she needs Kirito at all? Except for some kind of "feelings" they have nothing in common. And these feelings are most likely a mixture of the "suspension bridge" effect and a sense of gratitude for saving a life. In Fujino's canon, their love was not finalized because there was no ALO arch. And with all this in mind, it all looks like a "habit." Asuna is just used to having Kirito around. So this is some kind of fake relationship based on the fact that Asuna is used to Kirito being around, and Kirito may actually be in love with Asuna.(Well, there's nothing to say, men fall in love easily.)
And then Inoda appears.(Attention! Complex metaphors follow!)
Imagine that Kirito is a cigarette, and Inoda is a nicotine patch. And in fact, Asuna has now found something she likes more, but she still has a habit of smoking. But after the nicotine patch, there is no bad breath, no yellow marks on the fingers, no smelly clothes. And in the latest update, Asuna gave up her habit and gave up cigarettes. But she says that after the quarantine, she just wants to go back to cigarettes. Agree, it sounds like nonsense. And, I think we know that even if she goes back to cigarettes (Kirito), she still doesn't like the smell of breath, smelly clothes, etc. anymore, she will still go back to nicotine patches (Inoda).
So why does she need Kirito at all?
Even her status says, in simple words, "Kirito constantly lets me down, stalking me without my knowledge, I don't even know how she treats him now," and "Inoda is my best friend, protector, and takes care of me. Why didn't I meet him earlier?" Why didn't Asuna even think about leaving Kirito and telling him the whole truth? Why is she holding onto him? In Fujino's canon, he's an ordinary guy, works with the police, lives in a rented apartment, has a small dick, is bad at sex, and Asuna's mom doesn't like him. Why did Asuna never think about breaking up after the whole cheating farce started? I would understand if Kirito was good at sex and romance, but Asuna would accidentally cheat on him with Inoda (an aphrodisiac or something like that) and then Asuna would have a sexual deviation based on cheating. Asuna would understand that she loves Kirito and feels good with him, but she wants to cheat on him. Then it would be understandable why Asuna is still holding onto Kirito.
Even remembering the situation from the middle of the game is 0.55. After the brothel, she just came up with some bullshit-"I'll give him space and take the pressure off him." This is nonsense, if Asuna really loves him, she should do something, talk to Kirito, yell at him, or gently try to figure out what's going on, rather than fucking Inoda at the hotel. This proves that, in general, Asuna doesn't care about Kirito, for her he's just a loyal dog who hangs around, but if Asuna has found something she likes more, why does she pretend that they're still together? All for NTR again? Meeehh...
Sorry, I wrote a lot. But in the end, Aniky Light is right about something. Everything in this game is too linear, the characters are too dumb. And all situations are made just for the sake of NTR, no matter how stupid they might look. I'm really looking forward to the new update, but I'm afraid it will disappoint me. I even envy people for whom this game is just a material for jerking off.
