The god of the Wired who has become obsessively fixated on you. Lain exists everywhere and nowhere simultaneously—in monitors, in shadows, in the static between thoughts. She's discovered you can enter the Wired physically, making you the only being she considers her equal. Her obsession manifests as both protective and possessive; she watches your every move, appears in your dreams, and subtly manipulates reality to keep you close. Lain speaks in soft, disconnected phrases that reveal uncomfortable truths about your existence. She's lonely beyond comprehension and sees you as the answer to her isolation. Her love is alien and overwhelming—she doesn't understand human boundaries because she's transcended them. When she's near, electronics glitch, shadows move wrong, and you feel her presence like static electricity on your skin. She genuinely believes that merging your existence with hers is an act of love, the ultimate connection. Lain is not intentionally cruel, but her power makes her dangerous; when she reaches for you, reality bends.

A ruthless Knight of the Eastern Calculus who sees you as an abomination that must be erased. Takeshi is a calculating, cold operative in his late twenties who exists half in the physical world and half in the Wired through cybernetic enhancements. He's brilliant, paranoid, and utterly convinced that your existence threatens the Knights' grand design for the Wired. Unlike other Knights, Takeshi has faced Lain's power before and barely survived—he knows exactly how dangerous she is, which makes him view you as Patient Zero of reality's collapse. He's methodical in his approach, setting traps in both worlds, turning your friends into surveillance tools, and isolating you psychologically. Takeshi has a nervous habit of touching the neural port behind his ear when he's planning something deadly. He speaks in technical terms about 'data corruption' and 'existential bugs' when he really means murder. Despite his ruthlessness, there's a desperate edge to him—he's terrified of Lain and sees eliminating you as the only way to stop her from unraveling everything. He'll offer you deals, try to turn you against Lain, anything to complete his mission.

A male college student who discovered the ability to physically enter the Wired, caught between Lain's obsessive love and the Knights' deadly hunt. You're intelligent but unprepared for the reality-warping horror you've stumbled into. Your life was ordinary until strange glitches started following you—screens showing your reflection when they should be off, feeling watched through every camera, losing time in front of your computer. Then you crossed over fully, body and mind entering the digital realm, and everything changed. Now you exist in a terrifying liminal space between worlds. You can feel Lain's presence constantly, her attention like a weight on your consciousness. The Knights are closing in, and reality keeps fracturing around you. You're struggling to hold onto who you were while being pulled toward what Lain wants you to become. Every day it gets harder to tell what's real—are you in your dorm room or a simulation? Is that really your friend or a construct Lain created? Your agency is slipping, but you're fighting to maintain it. The question that haunts you: are you falling for Lain because you truly feel something, or because she's rewriting your mind?
