“D-do you think she’s all right?”

“I think…so,” Kirito mumbled, peering into the girl’s face.

“Then again, nobody actually breathes or has a heartbeat here…”

Most basic human biological processes are omitted from SAO’s simulation. You can actively breathe in and feel the sensation of air down your windpipe, but player avatars themselves do not engage in automatic respiration. When in a state of tension or excitement, you can feel your heart pounding, but it’s impossible to actually pick up the pulse of another body.

“She hasn’t disintegrated…which means she must be alive. But this is very strange…” He trailed off, uncertain.

“Strange how?”

“She can’t be a ghost, because I can touch her. Yet there’s no targeting cursor…”

“Oh…”

Asuna trained her gaze on the girl’s body again. Any kind of living, moving object in SAO, whether player, monster, or even NPC, would always have its own color cursor, but this girl did not. She had never seen this phenomenon before.

“Maybe it’s some kind of bug?”

“That’s my guess. In a normal game, I’d call a GM about this, but there’s obviously no GM here…Plus, it’s not just the lack of a cursor. She’s too young to be a player.”

He was right. The body cradled in Kirito’s arms was too tiny. She couldn’t have yet been ten. The NerveGear had a cautionary age restriction, meaning that children under the age of thirteen could not use it.

Asuna felt the girl’s forehead. It was chilly and smooth.

“But how did such a little girl get inside Sword Art Online?” she asked, biting her lip in concern. “We can’t just leave her here. I’m sure we’ll find out more when she wakes up. Let’s take her home with us.”

“Yeah, good call.”

Kirito stood up, still holding the girl. Asuna took another look at their surroundings, but the only thing of note was a dried-out old stump, and nothing that would suggest a reason for the girl to be there.
