* Episode 17
** Suguha continues to follow Yui's advice, coming along when her brother visits Asuna in the real world and seeing how much he cares about her, leading to a JerkassRealization and teary breakdown in Alfheim. Though her positive CharacterDevelopment only makes her brother's reaction to learning her identity at the end of the episode all the more painful.
** When Leafa rescues Kirito (well, revives him so he doesn't have to wait ten minutes to respawn) after his failed assault on the World Tree, her chewing out of him is very much AngerBornOfWorry, while Kirito genuinely appreciates the gesture.
--->'''Leafa:''' What the heck were you ''thinking,'' flying off by yourself?! You think you're some bad-ash mother-fudger who can do everything on your--\\
'''Kirito:''' (''puts his hand on hers'') [[SincerityMode Thank you. For helping me out back there.]]
** Leafa in turn is touched when Kirito insists that if the two of them try again, working together, "it'll be a snap."

** Silica actually managing to get through to Kirito and convince him that he needs to let himself feel emotions again, because though there is sadness, heartbreak, and guilt, there's also happiness, wonder, love, and - in Kirito's warped reasoning - the "sweet taste of revenge." Not only that, but Kirito actually calls Silica a good friend, genuinely wants to hang out with her again, and even tells her that he respects her when she takes him down a peg. Our little psycho's growing up.

* In episode 6, Kirito - by reaching into a place within himself that's full of "emotions that scare and confuse me" - goes into a long-winded speech about how wonderful it is to find someone you love, and how he's outraged that Grimlock would throw it all away just because his wife wouldn't StayInTheKitchen. Even Asuna has to admit it was pretty touching.

** Kirito and Leafa's banter is a lot friendlier and on more equal footing in Alfheim than it ever was in real life as Kazuto and Suguha - although this becomes HilariousInHindsight once Suguha realizes she was bantering with her brother.

** Yui and Leafa actually start getting along, after Yui listens to Leafa subtly get Kirito to open up about his home life and what he thinks of his sister, which Yui explicitly calls a "session." This means that, when Yui needs Leafa's help to get Kirito through some Salamanders, the AI doesn't resort to terrorizing the young woman, but instead tries to talk her around to working with Kirito.
--->'''Yui:''' I understand that your bond is strained, but nothing can move forward until one of you takes the first step!\\
'''Leafa:''' Well, why's it gotta be ''me'', huh?! ''He's'' the one who ruined ''my'' life!\\

** Leafa actually offers Kirito and apology and some words of encouragement after Kirito's attempt to secure Sakuya and Eugene's armies turns out to be a bust. Sure, she completely fumbles through it, but Kirito understands and genuinely appreciates the effort. This is especially noteworthy considering it was revealed that Suguha previously legitimately ''hated'' Kirito because of some transgression in their past.
