I need you to know that I spent a solid chunk of last night explaining the Kuroyukihime <~> Kirito connection to one of my roommates, and I nearly got her to do an actual honest-to-god spit take when I told her the whole birthday situation. She understands now why these books have driven me to madness.
it's one of those situations where you can't unsee it once you're aware of it
the puzzle pieces aren't all there yet, but if you were paying attention you can't help but see the emerging picture
and once you finish reading volume 23 of accel world, the only thought that remains is confusion at how people are still unclear on kuroyukihime's identity
who else could it be?
