If you exist in someone's memories, you exist forever. If you exist in memories, you can come back whenever you want. So...
Resurrection- Layer 03
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."
Those two little words; who would have thought that so many different emotions could be aroused by them? Masami Eiri. Lain's heart seemed to skip a beat. He couldn't still be alive! She saw him get crushed! She killed him! What you kill can't come back!
"But you're wrong Lain. I can come back." The haunting voice of the false god of the wired chilled her to the bone. She turned around, thinking he was behind her, but he was not. He was no where to be found.
"How can you still be God? I killed you! I watched you die! When I reset the memories, I saw you walking in the real world as a man!"
"Lain, you said it yourself. I am a god because people believe in me."
"But...I reset everyone's memories! I myself stopped believing when I realized you yourself had a creator! You have no believers!" Lain's fear turned to panic. If the Deus still existed in the wired, then Knights and all the murders could occur again. Lain could feel her blood pounding through her veins.
"Well lets see, Lain. You reset everyone's memories except for Alisu and your father. There's two possibilities right there. How do you know that they do not believe?"
"Because...I know. I know Alisu would never worship a beast like you!"
"And your father?" Masami materialized before her. He wore that same hellish grin he always had, his eyes seemed to say to Lain that he knew far more than she wanted to. "Do you remember, a long time ago, you're father said God does not exist, but that there might be some Deus-like embodiment in the wired? He also said that he is jealous of you because you are a free thinking human, and he is not. All it took was to tell him my truth, and my gospel, and he believed. He himself carries the memories of the God of the Wired, and so I exist now, here in my home, in my kingdom- the wired."
Lain's body surged with anger as she leapt at Masami. All she could think about was her hate for him, and how she wanted him to die. She would make him pay, he would not toy with her father that way. Hot, steamy tears raced from her eyes. She flew into the air, ready to strangle the hellish creature. Just before she could hit him, Masami faded away.
"MASAMI! YOU COWARD! Don't run away from me! If you think you're God, you should come and face me! MASAMI! I DENOUNCE YOU!!!"
There was a sudden crash of electricity. The wired seemed to cry out as the very landscape began to change. Where there was once darkness, the bodies of all the fallen Knights lay. A blood curdling scream erupted from Lain's lips. She understood. Masami of the Wired lived inside her father's memories. And inside him was the memories of all the slain Knights.
"Yes, Lain. You get it, don't you? I can revive my followers in the wired, while their real bodies exist in the real world." Masami let out a bellowing laugh that Lain would never forget. Then, Masami spoke the words that would change the flow of the wired. "Come, my Knights! Arise in my name! WAKE UP!"
