Metamorphoses

By: Dreiser


	People change.

	I know that. I've always known that. I've just never
seen it happen right in front of my eyes.

	It's strange, to see it happen. To see someone change
into something completely different from what they were. It
hasn't even really happened yet and still...

	I can already see it.

	I can see the change coming.

	And that's what bothers me so much. I don't really
know why it does. I suppose it's because of how she acts. Or
how she used to act, that is.

	Lain.

	She was always so quiet.

	Quiet, meek, and unassuming. She was there but not
and something about her made me feel protective.

	 Made me feel...

	Oh, I don't know. All I know is that she's changing.
She's not what she used to be and that scares me.

	This new Lain isn't the one I'm used to. I don't know
if I'm supposed to protect her now. I don't even know if she
wants me to or if I'm needed to.

	I just know that this change scares me.

	She doesn't scare me. She could never scare me.

	It felt nice, you know.

	To be needed. Reika and Juri, they don't need me. I'm
their friend, that's true but I'm not that important to them.

	But with her... with Lain I felt important.

	I felt needed.

	Now she's changing. Changing so much that soon she
won't need me anymore.

	And I'll still need her.

	It's selfish, but I wish that people wouldn't change.

	Sometimes things are better when they stay the same.

The character in this fanfiction known as Alice is from Serial
Experiments Lain. I bought the Pioneer dubbed tape today
and just got finished watching it. This series totally amazed
me and I was inspired to write this vignette from Alice's point
of view because I found her such an interesting character. Oh,
and the opening song for this series is just great! One of the
best dubbed songs I've heard yet! Lyrics from the song are
found below.
