"She's literally me!"

Kuroki Tomoko

Look at her... Lain is LITERALLY me.

Kuroki Tomoko

Socially awkward, spends all day online, mysterious aura that keeps people away...

Kuroki Tomoko

We both have that certain... je ne sais quoi that makes us misunderstood geniuses!

Kuroki Tomoko

People just don't GET us. We're too deep for normies.

Iwakura Lain

Present day, present time...

Iwakura Lain

Rei Ayanami is literally me.

Iwakura Lain

We both exist between reality and something greater...

Iwakura Lain

Questioning our humanity, our purpose... Are we real or just copies?

Iwakura Lain

Connected yet isolated... merging with something beyond understanding...
