Today I met with Kyoko-chan, one of Lain’s classmates from grade school. |
She’s in middle school now. |
She’s at a point of life when people start to take interest in many things. |
I was glad to have met with her. |
She was ordinary. |
She is ordinary. |
She goes out shopping with friends and talks with boys she likes. |
She’s an ordinary girl. |
Lain is not an ordinary girl. |
And who is Misato-chan? |
Is she the same as Minako-chan? |
That can’t be. |
I don’t understand. |
What am I doing by following up on all these things and telling lies? |
This has nothing to do with my research. |
My job as a psychiatrist and a counselor was to diagnose and treat someone. |
This existence called Lain seems to be a kind of vacancy. |
Does Lain have a problem, or do I? |
