1. If people can connect to one another,
even the smallest voice will grow loud.Copy !req
2. If people can connect to one another,
even their lives will become longer.Copy !req
3. So...Copy !req
4. Lain? I'm coming in.Copy !req
5. Lain?Copy !req
6. Thanks.Copy !req
7. But I already verified
that register a long time ago.Copy !req
8. That's hilarious!Copy !req
9. Right...Copy !req
10. I can't wait for the
next-gen protocol to come out.Copy !req
11. When it does, I could...Copy !req
12. Why are you guys so nice to me?Copy !req
13. No, that's not what I think.Copy !req
14. It's just a little strange.Copy !req
15. I don't have many friends.Copy !req
16. Thanks, Knights.Copy !req
17. Yeah, right!Copy !req
18. "Connect"Copy !req
19. Hard at work studying, I see...Copy !req
20. Listen, Lain...Copy !req
21. It's like you're going
back to your old self lately.Copy !req
22. Come hang out with us again sometime.Copy !req
23. Life's depressing when
you're alone all the time!Copy !req
24. I know, but I'm not alone.Copy !req
25. Huh? Who's with you, then?Copy !req
26. Everybody comes to see me.Copy !req
27. No, that's not right...Copy !req
28. Maybe I go to see them.Copy !req
29. What? The Wired, you mean?Copy !req
30. A net-pal isn't the same as a real friend.Copy !req
31. Reika sure is an old fogey
when it comes to some things, huh?Copy !req
32. Yeah, an old fogey!Copy !req
33. So what if I am?Copy !req
34. Anyway, Lain, what kind of
sites have you been hanging out at?Copy !req
35. It's a secret.Copy !req
36. Oh, acting high and mighty, huh?Copy !req
37. Come on, tell us!Copy !req
38. Hey, this'll look good!Copy !req
39. No way! You should just give up!Copy !req
40. I think this one's better.Copy !req
41. No way! This one's better! Right, Lain?Copy !req
42. Hey, let's go to that store
we went to the other day.Copy !req
43. They say they're having a 30-minute
all-you-can-eat ice cream special today.Copy !req
44. I'm hungry!Copy !req
45. Huh?Copy !req
46. What? What is it?Copy !req
47. What's with that kid?Copy !req
48. Beats me.Copy !req
49. Come on, let's go!Copy !req
50. Let's go, Lain.Copy !req
51. Lain, what's--Copy !req
52. No way!Copy !req
53. What is that?Copy !req
54. What the...?Copy !req
55. Lain? That's--Copy !req
56. You've certainly been coming home early lately.Copy !req
57. Now it's Lain who's staying out late.Copy !req
58. Do you think you'll get
that college recommendation?Copy !req
59. Speak of the devil.Copy !req
60. A strange phenomenon appeared
in the skies above Tokyo today.Copy !req
61. People in the area who observed
it report being deeply unnerved by it.Copy !req
62. Was this a malicious prank?Copy !req
63. Was it merely a natural
phenomenon, or was it a deliberate act?Copy !req
64. Hello, Navi.Copy !req
65. Hello, Lain.Copy !req
66. Connect to Wired.Copy !req
67. So you're Lain, huh?Copy !req
68. You're somethin' else, to be able
to translate your real world form...Copy !req
69. ...so well here into the Wired.Copy !req
70. Stupid Cheshire Cat wannabe...Copy !req
71. "Wannabe" nothing. At my
user level, this is the best I can do.Copy !req
72. Most people can only manage ears.Copy !req
73. I'm way better than them, don't you think?Copy !req
74. Shut your hole. Just give me the information.Copy !req
75. I helped Lain... This is gonna
make me a hero with the local users.Copy !req
76. You're more noise than signal...Copy !req
77. Tell me about the game that all
the grade-schoolers are playing.Copy !req
78. A game? There's all kinds of kids' games.Copy !req
79. Moron.Copy !req
80. You've got a hunch that tells you it's a game?Copy !req
81. To a kid, anything can be a game.Copy !req
82. So you called up the search result...Copy !req
83. Now I get it. This man might know the answer.Copy !req
84. The child-killer scientist.Copy !req
85. You live up to your reputation, Lain!
You searched him on your own!Copy !req
86. In the real world, he's just an old man
waiting to die in a private hospital ward.Copy !req
87. I helped you.Copy !req
88. A little.Copy !req
89. Ask him about KIDS.Copy !req
90. I already know. You're not
much of a guide, Cheshire Cat.Copy !req
91. Now it's your turn, Professor Hodgeson.Copy !req
92. Tell me all about it.Copy !req
93. You look very lifelike, young lady.Copy !req
94. What's "KIDS"?Copy !req
95. It's so peaceful here...Copy !req
96. I want to relax here until
my body rots in the real world.Copy !req
97. You know what's happening, don't you?Copy !req
98. What's "KIDS"?Copy !req
99. Time passes so beautifully here...
And quietly, as if it will last forever.Copy !req
100. Show me the experiment data from
1 5 years ago, Professor Hodgeson.Copy !req
101. I never meant to put the children in any danger.Copy !req
102. I'm not talking about 1 5 years ago.
The game that all the kids are playing now...Copy !req
103. ...it's reproducing your experiment, isn't it?Copy !req
104. Somebody dug it out of the trash can.Copy !req
105. I thought I had erased all the data.Copy !req
106. Tell me about the Kensington Experiment.Copy !req
107. Psi, parapsychological ability,
is present in most children,Copy !req
108. although very faint in most.Copy !req
109. It's nothing as outrageous as ESP.Copy !req
110. It's just good intuition, or enough
physical ability to bend a coin.Copy !req
111. What're these that are attached to their heads?Copy !req
112. We called them Outer Receptors.Copy !req
113. That's what receives the Psi.Copy !req
114. This is KIDS.Copy !req
115. Individually, their Psi may be weak,Copy !req
116. but if I could collect their power...Copy !req
117. What were you expecting?Copy !req
118. Something beyond imagining.Copy !req
119. That's what I wanted to see, young lady.Copy !req
120. What did you make them do?Copy !req
121. Science isn't merely about proving hypotheses.Copy !req
122. That's what I believed.Copy !req
123. That's not what I mean...!Copy !req
124. So, you didn't give any thought to the children.Copy !req
125. As you say.Copy !req
126. It was the KID System that converted the weak...Copy !req
127. ...electromagentic waves of the
brain received by the Outer Receptors,Copy !req
128. and enhanced the functions
of a specific area of the brain.Copy !req
129. That is what KIDS really is.Copy !req
130. When the children's Psi was combined,
how much energy was generated?Copy !req
131. Stop it...Copy !req
132. Enough!Copy !req
133. I smashed KIDS to pieces so
that it could never be rebuilt.Copy !req
134. But its schematics found
their way onto the Wired...Copy !req
135. ...and eventually coalesced somewhere.Copy !req
136. Someone found them.Copy !req
137. And updated it so that it could manifest...Copy !req
138. ...phenomena without Outer Receptors.Copy !req
139. If it can influence these new
children to that extent as an emulation...Copy !req
140. ...I'm forced to acknowledge their talent.Copy !req
141. Is that all you can think about?Copy !req
142. You don't care about the children?Copy !req
143. No matter how much I punish myself,Copy !req
144. those children won't return to the real world.Copy !req
145. And there's even less that
I can do about this current group.Copy !req
146. Talk about self-centered.Copy !req
147. So who's using it now?Copy !req
148. Young lady...Copy !req
149. All this talking has worn me out.Copy !req
150. It was nice meeting you.Copy !req
151. I don't know what you plan to do in the Wired...Copy !req
152. ...or what sort of being you're trying to become,Copy !req
153. but you're powerful. Incredibly powerful.Copy !req
154. If there really is a god here in
the Wired, you're a blessed child.Copy !req
155. I... I'm not...Copy !req
156. I wonder where the power of the
rogues that run the KIDS emulation...Copy !req
157. ...and this other kind of power come from?Copy !req
158. Rogues?Copy !req
159. If you'll excuse me, then...Copy !req
160. I'm a little tired.Copy !req
161. My body's time has run out.Copy !req
162. My wish has come true.Copy !req
163. Knights...Copy !req
164. Shut up!Copy !req
165. Who are you people?
Why did you try to tell me all this?Copy !req
166. Was I just your toy? Is this all a game?Copy !req
167. What do you want to use the children for?Copy !req
168. Are you just doing it for kicks?Copy !req
169. You'll do anything if you can
do it and if you think it'll be fun!Copy !req
170. Then you're just a bunch of losers!Copy !req
171. Aren't you going to speak up?
Isn't anybody going to answer?Copy !req
172. Them...!Copy !req
173. Now I get it!Copy !req
174. You!Copy !req
175. You're Knights, right?Copy !req
176. You are, aren't you? You're Knights, right?Copy !req
177. Please get down.Copy !req
178. W-What the hell was that?Copy !req
179. The coolant system in your room.Copy !req
180. They must've planted a parasite
bomb in your coolant system.Copy !req
181. It almost sounds like
you're saying you didn't do it.Copy !req
182. It wasn't us.Copy !req
183. Who was it, then?Copy !req
184. Who did it?!Copy !req
185. The Knights.Copy !req
186. I thought I was innocent,
but I'm being punished.Copy !req
187. I didn't start this, but
I have to finish it somehow.Copy !req
188. I can't say I didn't know about it,
but I don't remember taking part in it.Copy !req
189. I get the feeling my freedom cost me dearly,Copy !req
190. but I don't remember selling my soul cheaply.Copy !req
191. Hey, hey!Copy !req
192. Until I die and say goodbye...Copy !req
193. Hey, hey!Copy !req
194. ...no one will ever catch me.Copy !req
195. You probably don't know the eternal outlaws...Copy !req
196. ...who wander the distant night.Copy !req
