Alice's Teacher

Line 21:

The first time he appears is in [[Layer 08|Episode 8]]. Fans of Serial Experiments Lain often misinterpret this scene as a real lovers' tryst between Alice and the teacher, but it was intended to be a fantasy of Alice's that wasn't really happening. The rumors about Alice that [[Evil Lain]] started were not about an affair between Alice and the teacher, but about Alice's crush on him.

The Funimation release ([https://youtu.be/uVzCNdwuiqQ?t=20m34s YouTube]) has mistranslated Reika's line, saying the teacher is going out with an 8th grader.
