I like to think of Lain as a kind and merciful god. She did say that she loves us, after all.
There is an odd exception to this that I've been thinking about. Lain says in the final episode which aired September 28, 1998 that she loves "everyone". If you were not alive at the time, you may not be included in that blanket group of "everyone".
All we can do is love Lain and hope for the best.
