Why? Why won't you come?
I wish you would come here
Look! Look at that!
Gotcha!
Hey, cut it out!
Why?
Don't!
What's the problem?
Don't play hard to get!
Come on, let's go someplace happy.
What the hell?
What happened?!
W-We don't know anything! W-We've
got nothing to do with this!
-She came outta nowhere
-Oh, no
Damn it
What a racket
Can't you be quiet?
Juri, don't make such
a big deal about it.
Yeah, it's just some stupid prank.
B-But
It'll be okay.
Lain?
Did you get one, too?
Get what?
E-mail!
E-mail?
From Chisa Yomoda!
II'm not very
good with computers.
You should at least check
your mail once a day.
Well, it's up to you, I guess.
Lain is such a baby.
Why is she crying?
Because she got an e-mail from
Chisa Yomoda, that's why!
Chisa? Who's that?
She was in class D.
She killed herself last week by
jumping off a building in Shibuya.
Come on, the teacher told everybody!
It's not just Juri.
Lots of people have gotten
mail from her this week.
But she's
Right. You shouldn't be
getting mail from a dead girl.
But there it is.

Log in.
Who are you?
Lain. Please say your name.
La-i-n.
Accepted.
You must be Lain.
Lain has mail.
From who?
Chisa Yomoda.
Do you wish to read your mail?
Hello, how are you?
Hello.
How are you?
Lain, I walked home with you
just once. Do you remember?
I have only given up my body.
By doing this, I can explain
to you that I am still alive.
I wanted to let you know this, Lain,
so I sent this e-mail to you.
Do you understand?
It's okay if you can't right now.
You will all understand
soon. Everyone will.
Why did you die?
Rumor at school has it that
this is a prank e-mail,
but I want you to know
that it isn't, Lain.
Why? Why did you die?
God is here.
Huh?
God
I ate lunch late today. I'm done.
Mom?
Yes?
I got an e-mail.
From a girl who killed
herself last week.
What is it, Lain?
It's certainly unusual
to see you in here.
I
I was wondering if you
could buy me a new Navi
Finally caught the bug, huh?
You're in junior high now.
Your friends are leaving
you in the dust, right?
I keep telling you that you
should use a better machine.
You know, Lain, in this world,
whether it's here in the
real world or in the Wired,
people connect to each other, and
that's how societies function.
Even a girl like you can make
friends right off the bat, Lain.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
I wonder why your mother
can't understand that?
I'm not scared.
But why bring up your
Navi all of a sudden?
There's a friend I want to see.
-What happened?
-Damn it
We apologize for the inconvenience,
ladies and gentlemen.
The train is currently stopped
due to an accident.
What?
Was someone hit?
I can't believe this
Miss Iwakura.
Miss Iwakura.
Yes, ma'am.
This will be on the test.
Chisa?
Where are you?
Wait!
I thought I was innocent,
but I'm being punished.
I didn't start this, but I
have to finish it somehow.
I can't say I didn't know about it,
but I don't remember taking part in it.
I get the feeling my
freedom cost me dearly,
but I don't remember
selling my soul cheaply.
Hey, hey!
Until I die and say goodbye
Hey, hey!
no one will ever catch me.
You probably don't know
the eternal outlaws
who wander the distant night.
Why? Why won't you come?
I wish you would come here
Look! Look at that!
Gotcha!
Hey, cut it out!
Why?
Don't!
