Layer:08 Rumors
Summary (spoilers)
An embarrassing story about Alice circulates in the Wired, and word gets around that Lain was its source. Shaken, Lain comes to suspect that another version of her is acting online on its own. She reaches into reality to repair the damage, though the fix leaves her more uncertain than before.
