No spoilers, just focus on watching

The process of watching lain is unimaginably long. That was 10 years ago. I sat in front of the computer all day and watched this late-night animation continuously. At first, I had a few roommates who liked animation to appreciate it together. In the end I was the only one who continued to struggle. The rhythm of the whole story was unusually slow in the early days, and new questions were constantly raised but no one answered, which is why I couldn't answer when everyone asked me what you were watching. However, I have to thank myself for being stubborn at that time, as if to prove that I was more persistent than others. I kept seeing it in the middle of the night, and at a certain moment in the early morning, my mind was full of doubts, and my hard thinking finally let me I have completed my understanding of this film. The next morning when everyone asked me to understand what the story was, I found myself full of words and didn't know how to explain it. Only when you watch it patiently can you really understand what the story says, not to mention that everyone's understanding of such a film should be different.
10 years later, I still have a disc with lain's theme song duet engraved in my car. Whenever I think of the guitar sound, I always think of lain's turning around in the stagnant time in the opening scene. This is also a side expression of the story.

OP's very weird opening "PRESENT DAY PRESENT TIME hahahahahaha"; people are always connected, whether it is the online world or the real world; the online world and
