TW: THIS CHAPTER MENTIONS SUICIDE AND SPOILERS TO THE PSX SERIAL EXPERIMENTS LAIN GAME, THE ANIME ITSELF, AND DESPERA
[RECAP]
" ... Lain? " She asked quietly.
" What? " Lain huffed.
" Did she come back? "
[END OF RECAP]
Lain's eyes widened, she regained her slouched posture as she puts a hand on the side of her head. She didn't know what just happened.
" I... I think so. " Lain finally responded, her gaze didn't leave the floor.
" ... You looked upset when I spoke about Reika. " said Ain.
" Well... I mean-- This-- " Lain sighs as she plants her face into her hands, shaking her head. " I don't know... Every time she comes out I'm always upset about something. When I get stressed or frustrated she takes over. I lose control over myself and once I do I feel like... like an awful person. "
" Aw... Don't sweat it, Lain. We all get mad sometimes. " Ain reassured but it didn't seem to help Lain.
" No, you don't understand. It isn't normal anger it's almost like... my emotions take over my entire body. " Lain explained making Ain's brows raise.
" So like... When you get angry she comes out and goes wild? " Ain asked to which Lain nods. " That's strange. "
" It's been happening recently. I don't know why... It all happened after I remembered what happened with Sensei. " Lain looks down.
" Sensei? "
" My former psychiatrist when I was 12 years old. After what happened then... and then The Knights. "
" Former psychiatrist? Isn't that the chick you killed by smashing her head into that monitor then afterwards shot yourself? "
" ... Yes. "
" How are you still here? "
" The Wired. "
" Huh? "
" Don't you remember? I saw myself in the sky. Alice saw it too then Eiri and then my ability to alternate reality? "
" ... So you're God? "
Lain cringed. " Please... I don't like being called God. I'm an average teenager, sort of. At least... I want to be an average teenager. " She looks down.
" Huh, isn't it kind of weird that you have God-like powers yet you don't use them? "
" Like I said: "I want to be an average teenager." meaning I will not use those abilities unless I need to. I don't need to use them again. " Lain was staring get emotional from all the memories flooding in. She just hoped she wouldn't have another accident like that again.
" So... You want to be a normal teen? But why? " Ain asked.
" I want to fit in. I hate being an outcast to society, you get treated like trash then get thrown out. It's an endless painful cycle but the world isn't exactly better either. " Lain explained.
