If you lose your body, are you still human? If you lose your mind, do you still belong?
Enigma Called Humanity- Layer 02
The wire men faded and Lain stood all alone. Lain has new mail came the calming voice of her Navi.
"Open it!" She cried in a stern voice.
The monotone voice of her Navi spoke, Lain, are you human?
Lain's eyes shot wide open as fear surged through her body. Her hand went to her mouth, and she could feel her soft, shivering lips. At that moment, both terror and confusion raced through her head. What was going on? Of course she was human, she had a body, and she had a mind, she had to be. Slowly, she fell to the floor as tears flowed from her eyes. The simple fact was, she couldn't prove that she was human...after all, what kind of human can rewrite memories?
"Navi, what is Human?"
Human- any creature belonging to the species Homo Sapien. They are multicellular, stand erect, reproduce sexually, and are morally and intellectually superior to any other creature on Earth.
Lain's hung her head in disappointment. "That's not what I wanted." Tears began to fill her eyes again. "I went to Cyberia...I even danced a little. Shouldn't that make me human? I go to school every day, and I have friends there! Shouldn't that make me human?"
"Navi! Am I human?"
Searching...searching...search came to no conclusions.
"Lain, you act as if you WANT to be human. Come on, I already told you that humans are evil, they live in a world that is unpredictable and violent. Why would you want to be human."
Lain bolted up. That voice...that was the voice from before!
"Who are you people!? Why are you doing this to me!"
The wire man appeared in front of her again. "Lain, I felt it was time for you to learn the truth. Parents often lie to their children about things until they feel it is time for them to learn the truth. Now is that time, Lain."
"Oh, so now you're my parent?", replied Lain in a cocky voice. Then, her whole body began to shake uncontrollably. "You're...my parent, my creator! You're..."
The wire man faded into the void of the wired as Lain spoke softly to herself:
"...Masami Eiri."
