When the Sword Art Online server was released, Twilight and her friends were overjoyed, and all bought the Nerve-Gear almost immediately. Then, in the dead of night, her friends were slaughtered by the Laughing Coffin Guild. Haunted in her nightmares, Twilight ran for an entire year, never looking back. Now, will Twilight forgive their murderer, or exact her rightful vengeance?

Written for the first ever Sword Art Online: Remastered Competition.

Edit: Well, never mind about the competition, I guess.
