Lain 4


It's interesting that as Lain becomes more obsessed with her Navi and being in the Wired that her detachment from reality actually enables her to be more "normal", or at least able to socialise in a cheery way in real life. As her father says the wired is a tool for communication i.e some is good, but dont get lost and forget yourself in it. Lain seems to be on the precipice. Yes its helped her get to know people and open up somewhat but shes also starting to lose her humanity. As we see with the strange manifestations of her on the wired and did she destroy the MIB guys visor with a word?! The repeated shot of the blue flickering reflection of the monitor in her eyes seems kinda symbolic for all this.


All I could think in the game sequence was: Is this the old 90s screensaver?
