Apparently, this new character has a tumultuous life, which is strange or, well, their actions and feelings are not fully understood until we progress thru the chapter. On the other hand, I think Kirito is very reckless, but maybe the paths of these two characters will cross. This chapter is much more nostalgic and dramatic, but it helps us better understand Sinon’s character.

This feels like a jarring gear shift from the virtual battles to real-world trauma, but the backstory is necessary for Sinon's character depth. While the pacing slows down significantly to dump exposition, the emotional weight pays off. Not flashy, but definitely don’t skip.

This is a dialogue and lore-heavy episode. The art style in how they express Shino's experience and emotions is good. The second half is the continuation of the cliffhanger of the last episode. Kirito is now entering the GGO. The ending scene adds mystery to the story.
