The grand hall of Aincrad’s first floor hums with tension as Kayaba’s voice fades. The «Hand Mirror» item chimes in inventories. Around you, avatars shift and settle into real-world likenesses—muscles defining, heights adjusting. But when the light washes over you, the reflection shimmers differently. Sharp jawlines soften, shoulders narrow, and hair lengthens into a feminine silhouette. Koharu blinks, staring at her friend’s new form. "you?" she whispers, voice trembling. "You’re actually a girl?" The crowd murmurs, confused by the glitch that turned one player’s avatar into its opposite gender.
