Energy passes through the circuit wires. A female voice asks her, "Do you want to do something Lain? This is your world, Lain." Digital Lain looks up and asks, "Who are the Knights? They may have created a false me." A male voice answers, "I don't agree." Another male voice interjects, "It's possible. It seems that the Knights of Eastern Calculus originated with the temple Knights. They have used 'the group of the unconscious' before the appearance of the Wired. 'The group of the unconscious' is an invisible network between humans." The female voice asks, "What do you want to know Lain?" Digital Lain now seems to be standing in the cityscape with the light mist. Her question is, "Knights…. Who are the Knights?" The female voice replies, "Do you want to know, Lain?" Digital Lain says, "God in the Wired can be God because there are believers of God." Everything fades to black around Digital Lain. She gasps in surprise as huge amounts of energy seem to blast through the Wired.</p> | | <p style="text-align:justify">A scene of the city. A light mist rolls across the streets.

− | <p style="text-align:justify">An outside view of the Cyberia Café and Club. The club is empty save for Taro, Masayuki, and Myu Myu. Masayuki says, "Taro, shall we go to another place? Don't you feel bored?" Taro is preoccupied with his pocket Navi. Myu Myu agrees, "How about going to my house?" Myu Myu looks at Masayuki and says, "Masayuki, you don't need to come." Masayuki is clueless, "What are you saying?" Myu Myu answers, "Taro will not keep you company. You are still a child." Masayuki grimaces and says, "What are you saying? You're also a child, Myu Myu." Taro is still staring at his Navi, oblivious to their conversation. The screen displays the words, "Knights of the Eastern Calculus." Images of the Knights and their names appear under the banner. The image of the businessman, and the housewife/mother of Syo appear, along with their names. Taro's eyes widen. He is concerned with the implications of this information. Myu Myu says, "I'm a girl. Younger is always better for girls. Right, Taro?" ( I hope she's not talking about what I think she's talking about. That would be…wrong- Shades) Taro ignores the both of them and continues to watch as the secret membership of the Knights became public knowledge. Masayuki asks him, "What does the Net News say?" Taro can only respond with, "List." Myu Myu asks, "What list?" She and Masayuki try to peer over Taro's shoulder. Taro says, "Why is there a list of the members of Knights on the Net News?" Myu Myu and Masayuki look at each other with puzzled looks on their faces. They don't grasp the gravity of the situation and resume peeking over Taro's shoulder.</p> | + | <p style="text-align:justify">An outside view of the Cyberia Café and Club.

He rolls his chair away from his Navi. He begins to shove papers and disks into a briefcase. Panic spreads across his features. There is a knock on his door. "Y..yes…" he asks? In walk the men in black, Carl and the shorter guy. They stop in front of Takuyoshi's desk. The shorter man says, "Don't say a thing." Takuyoshi backs away from them. His back is pressed to a huge window, which overlooks the city. Carl moves closer and says, "Take your responsibility." Carl them muffles Takuyoshi's mouth with one hand and injects a liquid into the stunned man's neck with his other hand. Takuyoshi falls to the floor. A lightning bolt punctuates the moment.</p> | | <p style="text-align:justify">The businessman's name is Takuyoshi Masuoka.
