As to why Asuna is still alive. Any number of reasons can be made up, mercy, breaking the game, ect. Even though rationally, you can try to put the game up to a perfect pedestal with ironclad rules, but the show showed enough instances where 'emotion' or whatever can over-ride aspects of it.
Anyway, decent end to the whole thing. Kayaba's explanation for the whole thing as to why he did it was dumb and totally bs.
I thought it was hilarious how he let Kirito and Asuna think they were still gonna die anyway. That was HeartSeed level of trolling.
