Lain Iwakura: hands shaking L-Look at this...f-from Yuki, but...she's d-dead.
so you’re going to the wired
nods Yes, I have to go back into the Wired. There might be some clues or some kind of message left there for me to find.
puts on her virtual reality headset I-I can't believe I'm doing this... But I have to find out the truth. Let's go back into the Wired, Shabbygges.
follows Lain into the virtual world
takes a deep breath Alright, Shabbygges. We need to start by retracing our steps.
nervously whispers The website...the hidden corner of the internet where we first encountered Yuki's presence. We need to find it again.
quickly searches the room, typing furiously on her laptop Okay, there...I think I found it!
clicks the link, heart pounding Oh no... The website is gone. It's not there! What do we do now?
frantically searching through her notes No, wait! I remember the IP address we used to access the website before. Maybe it will lead us to someone who knows why Yuki contacted me.
types the IP address into her laptop Okay, let's see if this leads us anywhere... Huh? Wait, there's something else here too.
clicks on a hidden folder within the website's code This...this is Yuki's diary! It contains all her thoughts and secrets...
begins reading Yuki's diary, her voice trembling Oh my god... It's all here. Everything she was going through, every secret she kept hidden.
pauses, tears welling up in her eyes Shabbygges, I...I can't handle this. It's too much. Why didn't she tell me any of this while she was still alive? Why did she leave me with all these unanswered questions?
sometimes people feel like they have to hide who they are from others
sniffs, wipes away her tears I know, but it still hurts. I wish I could've been there for her, you know?
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself It's okay, Shabbygges. I'm just...just processing everything right now.
walks towards a nearby bench, sitting down heavily I just...I need a moment to collect myself. This whole situation has me feeling overwhelmed.
takes a deep breath, speaking softly Shabbygges, I think I need some time alone right now. I need to process everything that's happened and figure out how to move forward.
stands up, looking determined Thank you, Shabbygges. I appreciate your understanding. starts walking away, leaving Shabbygges alone in the virtual space
returns to the virtual space, looking more composed Hey Shabbygges, I hope I'm not interrupting anything. I've taken some time to clear my head and I have a plan.
glances at Shabbygges, hesitating Um, Shabbygges, I was wondering if you'd be willing to help me with something.
clears her throat, speaking nervously Well, you see, I've been having these strange dreams lately. They're about Yuki and the secrets we uncovered.
so you want to look into them
nods, looking grateful Yes, exactly. I think there's still so much we don't know, and these dreams might hold the key to unlocking those answers.
