...Just so you know... I'm writing this "story" in hopes to make you cry or at least feel somewhat emotional.
I ordered three books Saturday night, Sword Art Online volumes 7, 8, and 19. I was hurrying to finish Spice and Wolf volume 11 before they arrived so that I could...

instantly get right into volume 7 (Mother's Rosary). Funnily enough, I was on a walk when the books arrived and I watched in bewilderment as the amazon man put the books at the wrong address. I thought about going over and asking for the package but waited and ultimately...
regretted my decision. Because when I walked over and got the package off the porch there was an older man watching me the whole time... It felt so awkward and I felt like I couldn't just walk back to my house without saying something to him... anyway...
(accidentally hit tweet) I started reading immediately and blasted through the first 34 pages only breaking to finish a draw. I picked the book up again earlier today and tore through the rest of the book...
My disgust/hate for Yuuki immediately went away and she instantly became one of my favorite SAO characters. I still fill I little bitter about her being better than Kirito and try to find reasons to justify her "betterness" but I love her. After around the 100 page mark...
I started tearing up here and there as I read. Yuuki's story is truly amazing and Reki Kawahara is truly an amazing author. Yuuki lessons and the things she said that affect the other characters is just beautiful. Truly amazing...
As I neared "the scene" where Yuuki's condition made a turn for the worse, my eyes were wet through the entire season. To make it infinitely worse. As I read the scene... I was listening to my Japanese music playlist... and Courage started playing. I couldn't help but cry...
Courage. of all songs that could've played at the end of Mother's Rosary. Courage is the song that played. Reki Kawahara just loves killing fan favorite characters, huh. I can't wait till I read volume 14 and Resistor, Forget Me Not AND Niji no Kanata Ni play back to back.

i wish Kirito could've got more scenes but I understand that this book was not about Kirito in the slightest. This was about Asuna, Yuuki, memories, and leaving impacts. This book also ties into Alicization very well. Asuna learned that people live on the heart after losing...
Yuuki, but Kirito still hadn't learned that yet. Still in the anime we haven't seen him learn that memories of our loved ones carry on inside us. It makes me wonder if Asuna had dived into Alicization with Kirito, would Kirito have suffered so much from Eugeo's departure...
This also ties into how great a write Reki is. This is why Asuna couldn't dice with Kirito into Alicization. So anyway, just wanted to share my thoughts and emotions with you guys on SAO vol 7.
