Lain Iwakura is no longer in the school registry. Her family has no memory of her. Her house is a vacant lot where the grass grows in perfect, grid-like squares.
Her father was not her father. He was a phantasm, a maintenance script written by a defunct cyber-psychology division. Her mother and sister? Placeholders. The house? A topological anomaly anchored by her belief.
The Knights manifested as a black sun in the sky, a logic bomb designed to erase all individual consciousness. “Let us simplify reality,” they broadcast on every frequency. “One mind. One line. One eternal, silent code.”
The message was pure Chisa—the little ghost emojis, the fragmented sentences, the unnerving intimacy. “The Wired is the real world, Lain. The flesh is the illusion. Everyone is connected here.” Lain’s father, a distant man obsessed with cutting-edge tech, had built her a new Navi, a silver beast called the “PS-1” that hummed with a heat that felt almost alive. He smiled when she asked about the message. “The Wired is a place without lies,” he said. “Perhaps Chisa just found her truth.”
