'''S''' stands for '''superimpose'''. In [[Chiaki J. Konaka]]'s [[Scenario Experiments Lain|scripts]], it was his way of indicating that a line was to be displayed on screen as text rather than spoken.

For example, lines such as the following:

Line 9:

Line 25:

Lain: Hello, Navi.<br>S: Hello, Lain.

</blockquote>

This second example is of particular note. The decision to emulate [[Apple Inc. ~~references~~|John Sculley]]'s vision for Knowledge Navigator with the [[NAVI]]'s operating system meant that some lines marked S were spoken aloud rather than merely displayed on screen as originally intended. The result is that a mysterious character called S appears in the cast [[Layer 01 Credits|credits]] of some episodes, voiced by Mikiko Kurihara.
