heh. much as i'd like to play this out and say that the bear suit
was incredibly important to the plot, but i'm not that imaginative.

the pajamas are one of the few things that give lain character
besides her direct actions. there's not a lot of this as she
doesn't really interact with the world much. it's the
"lain of the real world". her room is full of bears. it's her.

it's kind of like the power-lines. the hum of the power-lines are the
presence of the wired. it's everywhere.

just like the hum of the power-lines is changed in the final
episodes, you don't see the bears in the wired until the final
episode, because until that point the "lain of the wired" and
the "lain of the real world" are very different people.

sort of.

it means more than i can give it credit for, but i really didn't mean
all of that when i brought it up. i was just musing to myself that i
didn't realise that they were pajamas when she wore them the
first time and i kept wondering what the bear suit was for. later
though it makes sense because later you see her sleeping
in them. it's not that important really.

i did like lain though. i did really like lain.
