>>2448 Next to the end of the anime, the God of the Wired says that Lain is software on a human body. She is embodiment of software, she is SOFTWARE INCARNATED, designed with the purpose of blurry the lines between the Wired and the real world. Bits and bytes flow through her brain of flesh, at the point that she doesn't even need a navi anymore, she runs a navi emulator on her own brain. Lain is a computer in the form of a little girl. Can software love? We all love Lain, but she cannot love us.
