The Nightmare of Fabrication is a beautifully drawn full-colour manga from Yoshitoshi ABe. The 18 page short story can be found in the Lain Omnipresence in Wired artbook. It's a bonus story which apparently isn't related with neither the anime nor the PS game. It shows characters who were included in the PS game but not in the TV series (like the psychiatrist), but also determinant characters from the anime who didn't appear in the videogame (like Deus).
Rahzel is a young girl who is thrown out of her house by her doting father with instructions to go “see the world”. And so her adventure begins, however, she won't be doing it alone. Rahzel quickly befriends an albino man named Alzeid who is seeking revenge for his father's murderer (who, coincidentally enough, looks similar to Rahzel herself). The two strangers are drawn to one another, even though they don't get along. This may be because of their shared magic powers –or it may be because of his mysterious past. The reluctant allies soon meet up with Baroqueheat, a self-proclaimed womanizer who is also deeply tied to the person known as “Alzeid”. The three strangers come together, travelling from town to town, using their powers to protect the weak, while discovering themselves along the way. Unbeknownst to Rahzel, the beginning of her so-called “adventure” sets the gears in motion for something much greater. It seems as if someone from the shadows is manipulating the events of the present for a reason yet to be understood...
Spin-off of Kakegurui that focuses on Ikishima Midari and when she began her role in the Student Council.
