“Maybe that strange feeling of not fitting in was one of the things that drove me to online gaming. An artificial world, where no one really knows knows anyone else. I immersed myself in that wonderful world…
But I learned that there’s no meaningful difference between a real world and a virtual world. It’s pointless to ask anyone who they really are.
All you can do is accept and believe in them, because whoever they are in your mind is their true identity.”
- Kirito, “Sword Art Online” (2012)
