* In ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'', the "Mother's Rosario" arc is about Yuuki Konno, a girl who was born with [=AIDs=] due to an infected blood transfusion given to her mother before she was born. Her whole family contracted HIV and had passed away, leaving her as the only one left alive (which included losing her [[AngstySurvivingTwin twin sister]]). She goes on to form a guild called the Sleeping Knights, with several other kids who are also terminally ill, where they go on to play lots of [=VRMMOs=] together with their numbers dwindle as each of their illnesses claim them. When she debuts in the story, Yuuki and the Sleeping Knights decide to join the most fantastical game they can find ([=ALFheim=] Online) and permanently leave their mark, where Asuna is recruited to help them achieve this. Upon succeeding, Asuna finally manages to discover the truth behind Yuuki and finds her in the clean room of a hospital using a medicuboid VR device 24/7. No longer able to hide the truth, Yuuki confesses that her last wish is to be able to attend a normal school which she was never able to, which she's able to via a portable probe that allows her to see the real world without having to leave the hospital. Eventually Asuna is informed that Yuuki's condition has deteriorated, where they log into ALO one last time. Yuuki passes on her Original-Sword-Skill as a parting gift before collapsing into Asuna's arms, as thousands of players come to visit her and honor her last moments.
