''Note: Lain's exact words in the file are much more vague than this Q&A's explanation, which never quotes her directly. She only says, "it goes in from the left, so maybe, it exits from the right," without specifying a subject (hallucinations) or an object (ears). This has been a source of confusion among the few western fans who are familiar with the game, and even some Japanese fans, as evidenced by [http://dic.nicovideo.jp/b/a/serial%20experiments%20lain/181- this nico thread.] Touko chooses not to take this peculiarity as evidence of mental illness, equating the hairstyle with a protective charm; see [[Wikipedia:Omamori]].'' | ''Note: Lain's exact words in the file are much more vague than this Q&A's explanation, which never quotes her directly.

== Q: Who exactly is this "Mr Rabbit" character? === | |||
A: | |||
A networker Lain met on the net, Usagi-san. He (she?) is the one Lain consulted about something when she was troubled by a malicious networker (whom we'll call "A"). He has a lot of knowledge of the net, and seems to have some hacker-like abilities. But who is he really? A prominent theory is that he is the same person as A, creator of the "Friend Pyramid Scheme Game." He might have been switching between posing as A and posing as Usagi-san, enjoying Lain's discomfort. When Lain wanted to get revenge on A, Usagi-san asked her to let him do it. It's possible that this was done in an attempt to evade her attack. | |||
