Sword Art Online - S04

Time has passed since Kirito defeated the pontifex. Bercoulli works to rebuild and strengthen the defenses of the human lands, expecting an attack from the forces of darkness, while Alice worries about Kirito, who is catatonic, and moves to a cabin near Rulid to keep him safe. She may not be welcome in the village, but at least she is close to her sister Selka while she cares for Kirito. She feels she can no longer swing her sword except to cut down trees, but an attack on Rulid might push her to act anyway.
