I don't need parents. All people are independant.
There is no connection. None.
What about her ?
Lain's strange. Yeah, she's naturally weird, but-
No. She's not weird.
Huh ? Whaddya mean ?
Mika ! Be more respectful to your father.
It's happening, isn't it ?
Yes, it is.
Shit ! Shit !
Shit ! Shit !
What is it ?! What do you want ?!
Gotcha !
Next class is a study hour. Lucky !
They're having an emergency staff meeting. That's unusual.
Still ... is it really true ?
What is ?
I've heard that one of the senior students killed herself.
S-Suicide ?
It's starting to look like our school isn't the only one with this problem.
Isn't that right, Lain ?
Sorry, what ?
You wouldn't know what's going on.
Is it about the suicide ?
Then, you do know ?
Really ?!
I heard about it, just recently.
Where ?
Wired.
So, you're using your new NAVI, now. Will you show it to us later on ?
Sure. But right now, I'm modifying it a little bit.
Modifying ? When did you get interested in hacking ?
You know, you've changed a bit.
What ? Really ?
Definitely. Something's different.
So, what's the rumour in Wired ?
Well ... I've heard that it's a game.
A game ? Is it a network game ?
I don't know. I don't play it.
But, all ones who died were really hooked on it.
Boys would be into stuff like that.
Of course.
A game... But, why ?
I'm-
You shouldn't have gulped that down.
I'm okay.
I'd like to go home now.
You don't need our permission to go.
What is it ?
I'd like to work on my NAVI some more.
So, you prefer a machine to your friends.
Julie ! Don't be so mean to her !
I'm not teasing her.
Show it to us when you're done, okay ?
Bye. Excuse me.
I guess she has changed.
I'm sorry. Here.
No, it's my fault.
Sorry, big sister.

VOICE MAIL.
Mail ?
Hi, Lain.
Since I couldn't answer your question, I asked my friend in the lab.
If it's true you have a Psyche processor ...
- you'll probably have to set the oscillator to "Variable" mode.
All standard NAVI peripherals should be able to handle it,...
- but there's no gaurantees.
I hope you succeed. If you need help again, just ask. Bye.
J.J.
Yeah ?
Do you know about the game that all the little brats are getting hooked on ?
Yes, it's called "Phantoma". Skip it. It's not for grown-ups like you.
Right, Lain ?
Oh, man. I'm starting to hear things.
I stopped playing it ! I shouldn't be in here !
This isn't Wired ! Why am I -
Wait ... don't run !
Who are you ?!
Are you a PK, too? Then help me !
I can't get to where you are.
What is this ?!
Stop toying with me !
Blast charge ! Guage 5 !
Die !
Die !
Die ! ....
I ... was scared.
That little girl ...
It wasn't ...
I didn't know.
It wasn't my fault.
Phantoma is a game - a special client application for simulating battle in the Wired.
I downloaded it from the client of an illegal Wired server.
It looked a bit like a dungeon action game.
Why it was linked to that game of tag for little kids - I don't know.
YOU HAVE MAIL.
Open it.
Hey, Lain. You're interested in Phantoma ? I wouldn't have expected it.
I did some investigating. It's only preliminary.
yes. It's a common game in the Wired, but with a few modifications.
There are questionable links with other programs.
It's protocol has some strange holes in it. I think they were made by the Knights.
Knights...
Lain ?
You look very comfortable communicating in Wired.
Yes.
Just a bit of advice.
Wired is a space where information is collected and communicated.
Don't confuse it with the real world.
My warning - do you understand it ?
You're wrong.
It isn't that simple. I don't see the difference.
Soon, I'll be totally immersed.
With full range and full motion, I can metaphorize my whole self.
It can't be done, even with the latest in commercial NAVIs.
I can. Because I altered it.
Psyche processor ? But-
Don't worry. I will always be myself.
I doubt it...
I was waiting for such a long time. Why ? Why didn't you come ?
This is a fortune ... If you get...
Knights isn't a real group, but it has the ability to manipulate thoughts.
a way, Knights rules like a religion in the Wired.
If you love someone more than me, I'll let you go. But, if...
- You have to believe me. I think I was followed by someone...
Lain ! Why won't you come over here ?
Go away.
Go away !
