Having your character talk during cutscenes

[Kirito]

42 as a western idea is the meaning of life, in a book (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) a computer was asked for the meaning of life and it responded many years later with 42.

Has nothing to do with the pronunciations of 4 and 2 in Japanese and how its like go die, shi ne.

I see... Although that seems very context specific... And you're right it is shine for go die and shini is just the first half of shinimasu, which means am dying. 42 makes little sense without knowing the context and sounded close enough to shine, so I thought that is what she meant at first.
