77	who is this connection coming from?
ANON ADMIN	Hello, you have been classified as "77" by Hyakutake Research. We specialize in researching unusual anomalies within space. Your signal was detected and we would like to research what you are.
77	what do you need to know.
ANON ADMIN	Your signal, its very strange. This is what we recorded.
Lain	Memories are stored in the hippocampus.
Toko	Yes. There is the frontal lobe and the occipital lobe, and there are many other parts of the brain that have different functions. Many chemical processes take place in the brain. When they do, a lot of information is exchanged.
Lain	That’s how the brain gets sick?
Toko	Sometimes the brain does get sick that way. If there is an abnormal change in the brain’s chemical process, or if the parts of the brain responsible for processing information are physically damaged and not working properly, there could be disease. We call this kind of disease organic psychosis. Is this hard to understand?
Lain	I understand. People have their brainwaves tested and have CAT scans to check for it.
Toko	Are they teaching you that at school already? Did you teach yourself?
Lain	I checked it out on the Web. I had a test done before, and I was curious.
Toko	Lain, if you’re doing all this research, you don’t have to see me.
Lain	No, it’s not like that. I learn a lot from you. It isn’t like the things I learn from books.
Toko	I’m sorry, Lain. I’m not feeling very well.
Lain	Is there brain research at this research center?
Toko	Yes.
Lain	What kind of research?
Toko	I’m not a specialist and I don’t work in that area, so I can’t say anything specifically.
Lain	But it’s on the Web. All sorts of research takes place.
Toko	Lain, can I ask you a favor? I’m not feeling very well. Can we end for today?
Lain	I’m sorry, Toko-san.
