Lain trains as a therapist who can erase traumatic memories; her superiors warn her against working with Steven, whose memories she explores.
As Lain investigates Steven’s memories, she questions her society and learns he is connected to something the Institute does not want the world to discover.
The plot includes a horrific childhood experience, traumatic memories and scars described as deep. These elements may be worth discussing with a reader who finds trauma-related material difficult.
