 LAYER 01
Aren't things WEIRD in this world? Odd things happening, strange people in their black suits.... Weirdness happens when the Wired begins to become the real world. That's Weird right? That it was ever seperated. Rejecing the Wired is like rejecting reality. It is rejecting reality. The wired is a world as real as our own. You can't deny that.
Why were we ever separated? LAYER 04
Do you belive in God? What do you imagine god looking like? Like a human maybe? Or maybe like an animal. Personally, I like some of the inhuman versions. Do you recall Lain's godly form? A bit basic perhaps, but I still wish there was more around that. That exploration of her all powerful self. More powerful than Masami certainly. I kind of wish I could have seen the RELIGION that formed from it all. Though I suppose it just lives on here. Through me. And all the others....
LAYER 07
Have you ever considered it? The lives that we live. The places we inhabit. The shape of our social spaces. Publics. SOCIETY. How do I reach them? How do we connect with them? How do we take more people into Lain's loving embrace. I hope it isn't through death. No, I don't think it would be. You do need a body after all.
LAYER 10
Ahhh, the heart is such a fickle concept. There's so much to poke and prod about it's whims and wonders. What makes a person feel that sense of affection? that lust? that LOVE? It's always been a point of facination - the exploration of what it means to fall in love, and the words we use to relay that experience for others. And yet other people always looked at me so bizzare for taking "robotic" perspective of love, honestly.

LAYER 02
Do you remember their names? The GIRLS who she was friends with? I don't really recall them. They're between places more or less... It's difficult to recal. Were they even really all that important?
At least I remember Alice. Down down down to wonderland she goes. Why didn't she go to wonderland? Why didn't she follow Lain? LAYER 05
The Wired. That interconnected span of Navies and all the users who've stepped through their Navi-screens. And Lain of course. Lain.exe. The program and goddess of the wired, the harbringer of beautiful DISTORTION as she tears the barrier between both worlds apart. Should she have defied that programming given to her by that lesser god? What is Lain after all? Before godhood she was a little girl who'd killed herself and kept going. They say she's a program, but what about her body? Is she a program installed into flesh? How do you do that?
LAYER 08
Hey, have you heard?
The greater world, the real world, has all it's news and publications, and the Wired as it bleeds into reality has what reality has always had. RUMORS. Twitching and writing as it slips between mouths, as it rots and mutates between minds. Just the whisper of a notion, an idea someone had, not confirmed just assumed. It's a match in a paper forest. LAYER 11
Publications and publics, content and audience. News. Stuff. Information. It's like Music, like notes on a mad musician's masterpiece, the cacopany of sounds overlapping eachother crashing into eachother, coliding like waves upon the rocks. At least it was. Tt's too much now. there's no silence.
There's so much of it. All this... stuff It's practically perverse with all this access. INFORNOGRAPHY practically. A swathe of news, a swathe of concepts, of opinions and perspectives. Waves of hate, of anguish. Everything. All of the time. Forever. What happens if we let go? What happns if we merge; become one. What happens if we can never escape? Is it too late to try? Is it too late to escape? Lain, Have you executed your processes at last?  LAYER 13
The word ego is pretty odd, don'tcha think? It's something we typically associate with an overinflated sense of self; "a big ego" as they do love to say. EGO

LAYER 03
Isn't it facinating? The study of Psychology. It's my university major, the thing I'll have a degree in. Maybe it was silly for me to study it, lacking the drive for a job in the field. But I could have killed myself otherwise.
Isn't it interesting? The term of PSYCHE that Psychology is based off of! The Soul, basically. The Study of the soul. Should I have gotten an English degree?  LAYER 06
