I’m sorry. I just was trying to explain this issue to you. |
I like you too Lain, though I’m not sure why. |
I suppose I just enjoy talking to you. That’s it. |
It’s probably just because I like my job! |
I just thought it had to do with you, but I guess not. |
It is enough for me to be able to understand my feelings. |
I can never read your mind, so I can never know that you like me as much as I like you. |
Sounds lonely... |
I’m sorry, but you know, this is one of the ways for me to know that. |
I’m so happy with you saying that you like me. |
Are you happy with me saying I like you? |
Yes, indeed. |
Yes, that is enough. Lain, I like you. |
But still, as you can never comprehend all of me, it is impossible for me to know everything about you. |
If we could know everything about each other, I could be you and vice versa. |
I mean you do not have to be Lain unless we are different people. |
I really like Lain even though Lain is hard to understand sometimes. |
You like the mysterious Lain? |
Well, I like Lain who I don’t know very well. Of course, that is not all I like. |
I want to know everything about you!! |
So do I! But it’s impossible. |
Impossible? |
Yes. That is because even I don’t know who I am! |
Well, I don’t know how to explain this to you. Lain is Lain and I am me. |
Actually it might be still impossible even if we became the same person. |
The same person? |
Yes, Lain and I are exactly the same! |
We see the same things, have the same ideas and take same actions. |
Everything. |
Even our looks are the same! |
In this situation, there is only an identity that you KEEP, isn't there? |
Yet even if such an identification is gone. |
If you thought "Here is Lain," then I cannot exist there. |
The same thing can happen to you! |
That is why it’s impossible to understand each other at the same time. |
But what if you would answer every question I ask. |
Still, it would be impossible? |
Right, but they are not all possible questions, are they? |
I need time to answer those questions and those answers could be changed eventually, such as I used to think one thing, but now I have changed my mind — something like that. |
It's impossible after all, isn’t it? |
Yes, I wish I could go inside your mind and answer everything you want to know... |
