Lain is talking to the inanimate doll with a delight we have never seen from her before. A doll hovers in the darkness of Lain's room, while Lain sits in the light, her stuffed animals on the windowsill as ominous as ever. Is the fact that this scene comes immediately after Lain's sister's scene meant to imply that Lain is somehow responsible for her sister's apathy? Lain has seen ghosts and apparitions since she was little. She doesn't care about death, or anything really.Ġ5:18 Next we see a scene from Lain's childhood. There is an accident on the street just before she crosses, and she barely spares a second glance back. She has spent the night at her boyfriend's place, and completely ignores him when he wakes. Again the refrain of death, escape, and time.Ġ4:24 Lain's sister is cold and apathetic. In the show people are speaking, saying things, but no one really speaks to another.Ġ3:42 The voiceover here states that the wired is a way to escape humanity's inability to change or to evolve.

And if you can see it, it's yours" These are the words of the opening voiceover, which thus far seem to touch on the theme of the episode. Are there connections here?Ġ4:02 "If you can hear it, it is speaking to you. The drugs/pill that the poor man took makes time dilated. Crows symbolize death and freedom and escape.
