"Would you like to hurt yourself ?" "Do you want to feel your mind scraped by a rasp ?" "If you do, never turn your eyes away." "Nobody knows if there is or isn't one." "If there's a God in Wired, it won't make any difference to us users." "Hold it." "I've got another one to kill." "Why do you enjoy killing other players, so much ?" "Who knows why it's fun." "It's just fun." "That was 'Tachibana Labs' on that door." "Tachibana is huge." "They seem to be clean, but there are rumors..." "Rumours ?" "Do you know why we can communicate in the Wired ?" "Are you testing me ?" "You're talking about the I.P." "Sorry." "It's true, we usually don't have to think about the protocol." "But the current version, the 6th generation, has already reached its data throughput limit." "The 7th ... protocol." "Yes. the 7th protocol." "Many companies are competing to produce it." "The one that controls the protocol, could rule the whole Wired economy." "I've heard that many were sabotaged, and that the culprit was...." "Tachibana Labs." "Sis ?" "Mama ..." "Papa ...." "I..." "Today... well, someone asked me..." ""Are you really Iwakura Lain ?"" ""Are your parents really your parents ?"" "It was odd... very odd, wasn't it?" "They said some strange things, didn't they ?" "Right ?" "Alice." "Good morning." "Wh- what's wrong...?" "I ... don't believe it, but..." "What ?" "Lain, didn't you...?" "Did... what ?" "She's pretending to be innocent !" "Reika !" "Don't be so quick to accuse her !" "C'mon, Lain." "Wasn't it you ?" "Um..." "Did I do something ?" "Lain." "In the Wired, did you" "No." "You couldn't have." "I believe you." "Okay?" "That company is in trouble." "Avoid any draft payments from them...." "Can you believe a man with such bad taste, could be so good looking?" ".... re's a serious bug in Protocol 6." "It'll cause a catastrophe in Wired...." "Every night, a man in a red and green striped shirt appears in her room...." "That idol singer committed a hit and run with her boyfriend's car back in high school...." "It's true." "I heard it direct from the source...." "That building is famous for ghosts." "When you look at the terminal at midnight...." "The Knights don't exist." "It's just a joke played by an American student...." "Shut up !" "Why are all of you so interested in this ?" "Don't you find it amusing ?" "Who's there ?" "Aren't you looking for me ?" "Is this an appearance of God ?" "Which definition of God do you mean?" "If you mean the creator of the world, I didn't do it." "If you mean the Supreme Being of the world, I'm not it." "Where are you ?" "If you mean the shared consciousness of the world, then yes, you may call me so." "I only influence the world a little bit." "Who are you ?" "!" "I am you." "I believe you've noticed." "There's another you, here in the Wired." "You're only it's hologram." "You are only flesh." "I won't..." "You can't expect me to believe that." "That's impossible !" "It can't be." "Even you can't believe that the real world Lain is the same person as Lain in the Wired." "But, I am myself..." "LAIN IS A SNOOP." "Alice ?" "Alice, where are you ?" "DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE RUMOURS !" " FROM ALICE." "Alice, where are you ?" "What did I do in Wired ?" "I can't believe what going on." "What did I do wrong ?" "DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE RUMOURS !" " FROM ALICE." "Don't you think that this is wrong?" "I'm your teacher." "Yes..." "We really shouldn't, so why are you doing this ?" "Because I want to..." "Hey, you know what ?" "Do you know who Mizuki Alice loves ?" "Do you know who Alice is fantasizing about while she plays with herself ?" "You told everyone ?" "!" "So, the rumour was true ?" "!" "Have you always been spying on me ?" "!" "That was a secret !" "Something that nobody should have known about." "I " "Tell me it can't be you !" "Lain !" "Dammit !" "Who are you ?" "!" "You can't be me." "I wouldn't do such things !" "I..." "Stop it !" "I don't like you imitating me." "Why are you doing this?" "Why, you..." "I'm killing myself !" "Why ?" "Why are you so warm ?" "Why do I feel a body temperature ?" "Because." "I'm Lain, right ?" "No way !" "You're wrong !" "What are these ?" "Everything is you." "I said that you've always been in the Wired." "You're my equal." "You circulate freely in the Wired." "Therefore, you were always everywhere." "You were at everyone's side, watching." "You observed their most intimate secrets and revealed them for all to see." "You were right." "Information in the Wired should be shared with everyone." "Everything you said is a lie." "Why ?" "Alice said that she saw me in the Wired when I wasn't there." "I recognize myself." "Inside, I'm aware of myself." "Are you saying that these poorly made copies are me ?" "Nonsense !" "Even if I believed you..." "And if you did, Lain ?" "I'll delete everyone's memories of what they've seen." "I can delete all that information." "Go ahead." "Try it." "You were born with the ability." "Good Morning." "Hey, Lain !" "Did you forget ?" "Can it be ?" "It's true !" "What ?" "!" "Hey, I want to go to Cyberia tonight !" "Can we go ?" "Absolutely !" "What?" "This is unusual !" "Okay." "Shall we change clothes at my place again ?" "All right !" "So, how should I dress ?" "Stop it !" "I am myself !" "I'm here !" "That's right." "Lain is Lain." "I...am...myself." "I am myself." "There is no other me..." " Is there ?"
