Topics include faith, friendship, courage, trust, human psychology, bleakness of the world, existentialism, and life’s meaning.

“When were we born? When do we die? Why are we born? Why do we die? The world has been destroyed and reborn countless times, always resurrecting from the ashes as Paradise. It has happened before, and it will happen again. An endless cycle of life and death. The world is a Paradise that was opened by someone.” ~From Wolf’s Rain

Lain: "It doesn't matter which was real, this world or that one. I was in both. ... I am a program designed to destroy the barrier between the Wired and the Real World. Even you, Arisu, and everyone else-- you're just applications. The truth is, we don't need bodies." 

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?"  

(Arisu lets Lain feel her hearbeat.)

Lain and Arisu together: "It's beating... beating... beating...!" 

(They both laugh.) 

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."

Sometimes called skunk bears, wolverines are tough, fearless creatures of the cold mountains. Their scientific name is Gulo gulo, which means glutton in Latin. Wolverines belong to the animal family Mustelidae, which also includes badgers, otters, and weasels.

It really shouldn't be all that uncommon - having a wish you'd go so far as to trade your life for. I think there are a lot of people in the world with wishes and desires like that. If we can't think of anything, it just means that we really haven't had anything that bad happen to us. We've had too much given to us and have become dull and stupid. It makes me wonder: Why us? Don't you think it's unfair? I'm sure there are other people who'd really want a chance like this.
