"I believe that you had heard about a girl called Lain, Lain of the wired."
Because of the Cyberia's case, Lain was in the police office for the detailed accounts. And Alice was watching that anxiously.
"I phoned the number you told me, but there was no response. "The police officer asked Lain doubtfully.
"I'm saying the truth."said Lain. But still, the police officer stared at her doubtfully. In that situatioin, Alice came in between them and grabbed Lain's hands.
"Sorry Lain. It's my fault. Are you...all right? "
Lain just stared at her and called her name, "A...lice."
After that, Alice went home with her parents. And the police officer told Lain to go home also.
Lain came back to the house with police's escort. She opened the door and entered the house. But somehow, her father, mother, and sister wasn't there. The only thing welcomed her back was the NAVI's monitor.
Next morning, Lain tried to ask her mother about last night. But her mother's eyes obviated Lain to do that.
As usual, Lain was walking down the hill to school. In her way, there was a black car. Lain felt a terror from it and escaped immediately.
When Lain entered the classroom , the classmates were talking about the last night's case. But Lain sat down at her desk with out interest.
Afterschool, Lain found a parts of computer in her shoe rack. She took that
to home to ask her father about it. But the only responce was, "I don't know."
Lain went out to get more information about the parts. But again, the black
car was waiting with a strange red laser point. It strikes a terror into her, and she escaped instantly.
Lain arrived at Cyberia, she thought she can get some information there. At Cyberia, a DJ called out to her, "Yo, you seem so childish tonight." He said like they met before, and left without a word. Lain looked around and found the kids she saw before. She went close and asked about the parts. The kids surprised and said, "Isn't this Psyche?""Really?""Where did you get this?" The parts was something rare and special. The kids started to explain about the parts. The name of the parts is "Psyche". It is a processor that can advance the NAVI's performance tremendously. The parts it self is full of black-boxes, but the installation is easy. One of the kids added a words, "Giving information is not free. Aren't you Lain? Let's go around together for a date with me." But Lain gave a cold shoulder to him.
Next evening, Lain's elder sister "Mika" saw two MIB with goggles standing in front of her house. "I'll call a police!" Mika said to them, but the MIB ignored that and left the place.
Mika felt an anger from it. Way to her room, she unintentionally saw a light from Lain's room. From the door, she saw Lain installing Psyche with underwear.
"Hello dear, Mika."
