someone cracks open her door and she hears steps into the space of the room as something wades into the water covering the floor, ensuring her Navi coolant system has a constant source of makeshift coolant. Lain is next shown within her den of room sporting her kawaii bear kigurumi. The virtuality of the Event has taken precedence over the reality behind it, and is as such, now a social fact.

The conjecture has become fact, the rumors, history. This is bs, but has been swallowed wholesale by much of the American public as true. Conspiracy theorists have taken the event to signify the crash landing of an alien craft, which was recovered by the American government and hidden from the people. Further, ‘Conjecture has become fact, and rumor has become history.’ This incident, the Roswell Incident, has been investigated pretty thoroughly and explained through scientific analyses to have probably been the crash-landing of a weather balloon rigged with many measurement apparatuses or even possibly a spy plane.
