<p style="text-align:justify">Lain sloshes into her dark bedroom. Her Navi seems to come on automatically upon her entrance. A voice announces, "In Tokyo there was an extraordinary phenomenon in the sky." Lain begins to angrily take off her clothing. The voice continues, "Many people were afraid of it. Is it a mischievous prank? Is it just a natural phenomenon?" Lain plops down in front of her Navi. The voice is still going, "Was it done by someone on purpose?" Lain addresses her Navi, "Hello Navi." It answers, "Hello Lain." Lain then instructs her Navi to connect her to the wired.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The scene shifts to a dark area. There is a single beam of light with a figure illuminated in it. It is Lain. A male voice asks, "Are you Lain?" Lain ignores the question and keeps walking. Suddenly a giant mouth appears behind her (okay folks- welcome to Wonderland cuz this is where things really get strange-Shades). The mouth says, "You're great. You can change your shape in the real world so much." Lain retorts, "You're pretending to be a Cheshire Cat." (See, I told you, Wonderland. Literally and figuratively- Shades) The mouth snickers and says, "I can only do this because of my user permission level." The scene shifts and we see that Lain is walking on a path of light, surrounded by darkness. The mouth continues, "Almost all people only have an ear. I'm better than them." Lain is annoyed by the mouth and states, "Don't waste your breath. Give me information." The mouth giggles, "If I help Lain, I'll be a hero in this locale." Lain counters, "You make too much noise," and wipes her arm across her face. She then asks, "Have you ever heard of the game that's popular among grade school children?" The mouth asks, "Game?" There are many children's games. "Stupid fellow," responds Lain. The mouth then asks, "Were you inspired to think of a child's game?" Lain waxes philosophical, "Everything will be a game for children." The mouth opens wide and sighs, "Tsk, You found out this 'Result'. I see. He may know the answer."</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">A panel like object appears on the path before Lain. Lain walks up to the panel and looks at it. On it is an image of an older bearded man wearing a lab coat. Lain states, "He is a child killer, this scientist." The panel disappears leaving the scientist image behind, though it has become more grainy. The mouth giggles, "Tee hee. That's just like you Lain. You found him by yourself. In the real world he is an old man merely waiting to die in a hospital ward." Lain's eyes narrow. The mouth adds, "I helped you. A little bit. Ask about KIDS." The mouth then laughs and moves away leaving Lain alone with the image of the scientist. Lain throws a parting jib at the mouth, "I didn't need your help, Cheshire Cat." Lain now addresses the gray figure of the scientist, "Professor Hodgeson. It's your turn now. Tell me about it." The scene closes in on his face and sifts once more.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The scene shifts back to black. The professor states, "I broke them completely so they would never be restored." Back on the balcony the professor continues, "But the schematics of the machine were leaked to somewhere in the Wired, then they spread." Lain is visibly upset. She tells Professor Hodgeson that indeed someone has found out. The professor continues, "They updated it to function with out the Outer Receptors. It was really great that they could make it so widespread with only an emulator. Lain looks up angrily and says, "Do you only think about that. Do you think children are important?" The professor replies, "The children won't return to the real world no matter what I think. Moreover, I don't know about the current children." Lain is mad and tells him, "You're selfish. Who's using it now?" The professor seems to be winding down. "Young lady, I'm tired of talking. I'm glad to have met you. I don't know what you are trying to do, or what you're trying to be, but you're strong. Extremely strong. You must be a blessed child of the God in the Wired, if he exists. Lain replies softly, "I don't..." The professor talks right over her. "Where did your enormous power come from? You are different from those who are creating mischief with KIDS." Lain repeats, "Mischief," then gasps as though she realizes something. The professor turns to Lain, "Let me go now. I'm a little tired. Now my embers of life have disappeared. My wish has also been granted." Suddenly the professor starts to glow a bright white color. He and his bed disappear leaving Lain alone on the balcony. Lain has returned to the path of light. She appears to be deep in thought as she utters a single word, "Knights."</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The bright glow of a computer monitor fills the screen. Lain is slumped in a chair in front of her Navi screen. She seems to be exhausted. Lain addresses her screen, "Shut up. What are you? Why are you trying to tell me something?" The screen remains blank. Lain is not done yet and she continues to express her anger, "Was I only a toy for you? Was it all just a game? What do you want to do with the kids? Is it just for fun?" Lain's anger and outrage grows, "You'll do anything just because you can, and because you're interested." Lain laughs and exclaims, "If that's so you're mere monkeys!!!!!!!" (Balto: Don't say MONKEY!) She then throws her body back in her chair and continues to laugh. Around her, the Navi equipment starts to become more active. Pressure gauges are moving and the liquid in her cooling unit seems to be bubbling. Lain continues, "Why does no one answer? No one answers?" Lain is looking up at the ceiling. Her eyes widen in surprise as she notices two red laser lights scanning the ceiling.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Outside, the two men in black are standing in front of their car. The laser lights are originating from devices on their glasses. Lain is now at her bedroom window. The red lights run across her face. She peers down and sees the two men. Lain scowls and proclaims, "There they are!" Lain has run all the way through the house and pushes out the gate outside. She stops before the men and shouts, "You! You're the Knights, aren't you?" The men do not reply. Lain again questions if they are the Knights. The taller of the two men puts out his hand and motions for Lain to lie down. Lain is shocked. KERBLAM!! A loud explosion rips through Lain's just vacated room. Her bedroom window shatters and glass fragments fall to the ground.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Lain is shaken and asks what happened. The shorter man explains to her that it was the cooling system in her room. Lain is still in shock and turns to face the men. The taller man adds, "They sent a parasite bomb to your cooling system." Lain replies, "You talk as though you had nothing to do with it." He counters, "We didnt." Lain is curious, "Then who did?" The men do not answer and head back to their car. Before he gets in, the taller man turns to Lain and answers, "The Knights." Lain's eyes widen in shock. She watches the men drive away. A siren is heard in the distance.</p>
