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.

+=== Scenario ===
+<tt><i>EXT. City Street at Twilight <br>
+It's Alice. She's in her 20's, and has grown up beautifully.<br>
+She's arm in arm with... that teacher.<br>
+The two are in love. They'll probably be married before long. *<br><br></i>
+ALICE<br>
+(Laughing) Fine, but I get to do whatever I want with the bedroom curtains.<br><br>
+<i>Alice suddenly grows thoughtful, looking ahead.<br></i><br>
+MAN<br>
+What's the matter?<br>
+ALICE<br>
+That girl...<br><br>
+<i>Where Alice is looking... there stands Lain.</i><br><br>
+MAN<br>
+Someone you know?<br>
+Alice<br>
+I'm not sure...<br><br>
+<i>Alice lets go of the man's arm and goes to Lain.<br>
+Alice has gotten taller. She bends over to look Lain in the eye.<br><br></i>
+ALICE<br>
+Hello.<br>
+LAIN<br>
+H, hello<br>
+ALICE<br>
+Have we met before? We have, haven't we?<br>
+LAIN<br>
+... <br>
+ALICE<br>
+Hmm. Did you go to the school where I was a student teacher? No, that's not it. Let me think...<br>
+LAIN<br>
+It's nice to meet you.<br>
+ALICE<br>
+Huh?<br>
+LAIN<br>
+''(smiling)'' * This is the first time we've met.<br>
+ALICE<br>
+''(puzzled)'' Really? ''(smiling)'' It's nice to meet you. I'm Alice. Great name isn't it? ''(sarcastic smile)'' Kinda embarrassing though. What's your name?<br>
+LAIN<br>
+... Lain.<br>
+ALICE<br>
+Lain...<br><br>
+<i>The teacher walks over.</i><br>
+MAN<br>
+So it's someone you know?<br>
+ALICE<br>
+Nope, seems like I was imagining things. Well, goodbye Lain. Who knows, maybe we'll meet again somewhere, some day.<br><br>
+''The couple walk away from Lain, waving their hands.''<br><br>
+LAIN<br>
+That's right... We could meet at any time, Alice...*<br><br>
+<i>Lain waves back awkwardly.<br>
+Lain stands among the moving crowd.<br>
+Then, the crowd disappears.<br>
+Finally, the city also disappears, and Lain is left alone.<br>

+* Kaori-chan's acting was great here...
+* The last word "Alice" here was removed at my proposal.
