Arisu: "That’s wrong. I don't really understand what you're saying, but I think you're wrong. Your body is cold, but you are alive, Lain. I am, too. See?"

Lain: "But why? Why is your heart racing like that?"
Arisu: "Because I'm scared. It's pounding like that because I'm scared."
Lain: "But you're smiling, Arisu."
Arisu: "Yes I am, but I'm scared at the same time."
