If you're gonna dip into the occult then it's gotta involve the Knights Templar, I suppose
#lain_rewatch
Even this deep into the series Lain has uncovered a whole lot about what's going on but still can't possibly understand why she's at the center of it all.
#lain_rewatch
Oh yeah this is the episode that goes on long tangents about aliens and various conspiracy theories.
#lain_rewatch
Lain's voice has this distant, echo-y quality through the whole scene which contrasts so brutally against the clarity of Other Lain's mocking tone
#lain_rewatch
And to save her relationship with her only true friend, she walks right into their trap and interferes with the physical world directly...
#lain_rewatch
And now someone's trying to ruin her relationship with her only friend. the only one who treats her normally...
#lain_rewatch
Oof, the vulnerability and fear in her voice, the sniffling back tears... and her "parents'" without a single word of comfort. Poor poor Lain.
#lain_rewatch
Lain having to visit some corners of the Wired she'd rather not in order to obtain information.
And oh my god the look of irritation on Lain's face is *outstanding*
#lain_rewatch
guess Lain's not into pvp (understandable given the circumstances...)
#lain_rewatch
And we're getting into what made this my first ever serious ship,two decades ago...
#lain_rewatch
Lain really starting to realize the magnitude of what she's gotten involved in.
#lain_rewatch
So the Knights are modifying tech from an experiment that harnessed children's innate psychic abilities so that they can manifest such phenomena in the real world (which mostly consists of causing young people to murder and commit suicide and join the Wired)
#lain_rewatch
That's always the most comforting way to begin describing the scientific experiments you were involved with.
