Hypothesis: "Real" Lain is the hero of this story who is trying to prevent the Knights from spreading their digital chaos into the "real" world. Because there are two worlds, the real world and The Wired, there are also two Lains, one who is a hero, and one is a villain. These two seem to be foil and polar opposite characters.
.....i think lain's older sis has the same powers like lain but she hasn't connected with the wired world like lain and so no one is rlly giving her any attention like they give lain.....i haven't even seen anyone post anything about how weird lain's sis been acting since the other replica of her disappeared into thin air.
@sesshykiralover But Lain's new sister is a shell. She was killed by the wired, so her body remained living, but her mind is now in the system. At least, I think that's what happened...
Could it be possible that as people realize the Wired and "real world" are one in the same that they realize they no longer need their "real" bodies and that the Wired replaces their "real" bodies with replicas to take the place so as not to upset the micro-balance of home life?
I don't think they forget where it was. They just there if there are little kids there, like younger and in kindergarten, they won't know which doors is bathroom, right?
@ Sparklebaby18: I looked, , I didn't noticed, maybe her son doesn't know which doors is which in the house but his room. Maybe that's why, I don't know
Yeah, that lady is creepy, I didn't notice it the first time though because I was distracted by the whole MILF thing. So was that tech guy, you all saw where he was looking. Mr. "I'll help you." Dude was trying to get himself some MILF action.
wtf is wrong w/ Lain she can build a supercomputer and be all cocky about it, then u ask her a simple question and all of a sudden she is completely retarded. sup w/ that Lain?

Does it have something to do with the multiple personalities she shows maybe? As in, "Lain #1" is really shy and knows little about computers, "Lain #2" is more assertive and is a computer genius. People with multiple personality syndrome in real life have been documented with this situation. Their "other personality" can know how to play the piano when they don't, for example.
I like how the augmented reality stuff is really just some bloke running around Japan with a bad quality camcorder.

@darkmortality The whole point of it is to be as realistic as possible. Hence why you hear, "Present day, present time, hahahahaha" at the start.
