* This is the only scene in the series that I personally called for revisions for, writing with a lot of uncertainy and doubt. The thing you least want others to see. The pain of it being seen, and the pain of the one who sees it. I concluded that this was the only way to write it, but it still took a lot of courage. And when I finally decided to write it, Alice's role in the story finally fell into place. At the after recording for episode 7, I said to Yoko Asada, "Alice's part is about to become much more difficult to play. Please do your best!"

* The scene was so deeply thought out, yet it contains lines that could never be broadcast on TV. We couldn't arrive at a good compromise. The end result was that, without changing the visuals, the conversation of Alice and her (imaginary) teacher was cut from the broadcast version. It was included in the home video release, so essentially the only difference between the broadcast and home video versions is this scene.

* [''TL note: In this scene, Lain's name is written as "lain," in alphabet letters.''] The writing of "lain" is merely a way of helping to tell the difference between the roles in the after recording script. At this point in the story, only three personalities have appeared: 玲音 (childish, late-blooming personality), レイン (aggressive personality, typified by Lain of the Wired) and "lain" (devilish personality). But of course these are not all that comprise the being "lain" (including Goddess "lain").
