Memory.
Perhaps the touchstone of what it means to be human.
The prism of our experience.
million years ago, we evolved.
How we perceived reality changed.
Memory transcended.
In mind's eye, time no longer moved in one direction.
Okay.
Hey, don't play dumb.
You know that I know that you can see us.
Answer the question!
Do not think to deflect this interrogation
with that benighted thousand yard stare.
Tutturu~
Can you say Mayushii?
Come clean or I will turn the proceedings over to Lab Member .
AKA Super Hack.
Adding the word " Super" doesn't make it less lame.
Maybe he wants to talk and just can't.
Fair point. Perhaps the poor creature's mute.
Yet it may be our inquiries have spurred him to commune after a fashion.
Behold! Our woolly c*ptive have yielded offspring.
Aww! he found a girlfriend.
And got busy!
Silence the crass commentary.
This is an unprecedented development.
Proof that the game's program architecture
has the potential to upset the status quo.
The powers that be must be made to tremble.
On my name isn't Hououin Kyouma!
And cut.
Hey Daru, you want some barley tea?
Sure. Sounds awesome.
Do me a favor next time though.
Say it in leet.
Just use the characters "T U".
Don't the words sound the same?
Oh, believe me. A connoisseur can always tell the difference.
Do you want some too?
Spare me.
I will leave the plebian libations to plebians, thank you very much.
My ambrosia is the preferred potation of the learned.
One soda. Two tea. Coming up.
Mayuri!
Activate Future Gadget No., Cool Visitor!
Okay, if you want. it doesn't cool the room down a whole lot though.
Fear not, loyal hostage.
The device has had hours to replenish its store of icy breath.
More than ample time to simulate arctic.
If you say so.
Excellent. Delicious coolness.
Nothing an ordinary fan doesn't do, man.
Except at least the motor of an ordinary fan
doesn't generate more heat than it dissipates.
The poor little bottle of barley tea is room temperature now.
Stop whining!
If you fail to see the scope of this invention...
i was halfway to the next save point!
Do you have any idea the man hours that took?
You...!!
If the hentai skits I unlocked are corrupted,
I swear, you will rue the day you were born!
Are you crying?
Okabe!
Oh, hell!
Dammit! Get your ass down here, now!
Excuse me, Mr. Braun!
I believe courtesy dictate you come up here to see me.
How about I dictate a rate hike on your lease agreement?
Coming!
Oh! Hey, Nae!
Hi, Big Sis Mayuri!
Summer .
It;s been a year since I reached Steins:Gate.
They are all as it should be.
Mayuri is alive. Kurisu hasn't been m*rder*d.
And no time machine. No D-mail. No nothing.
This time marches on...
without soul crushing reversal or tragic revisions.
hoisted free from the entanglements of conflicting world lines.
Mayuri...
Okarin!
Is something the matter?
No, I...
Hello! Okarin.
What's wrong?
Nothing, I...
I just recalled the mission that survival of the
Future Gadget Labratory compels me to undertake.
Mr. Braun, for all his posturing, relies on me, you see.
I get it.
It's fine. I ought to get going anyway.
Ruka's waiting for me.
Right. Thank you and the purpose of your visit?
None of your business.
Where is she?
I don't see her.
Well, it can take a while to get through customs sometimes.
She should come out soon.
Kurisu!
Welcome home!
Hey, Mayuri. Sweetie, I didn't expect you to come and get me.
I know but I couldn't wait. I was too excited!
Nice to see you again, Kurisu.
Been a little while, huh?
I should know this but...Urushibara?
Yep.
Remember he's a dude.
You gonna stop by the lab and say hi?
Sure. Yeah. Maybe after a while.
Wow. I see they renovated the station.
I know, right?
The food court has a GunBam Cafe with its own gift shop now.
So awesome.
Yeah. They even rebuilt the radio building.
What a difference a year makes, huh?
Who would have imagined.
So, how's the lab?
Pretty much the same. Not a lot has changed since you were here.
Oh, guess what though?
Daru actually met a girl and they have been going out.
As in boyfriend girlfriend.
Do what?
She's a cosplayer, and her name is Amane...Yuki I think?
Does that seem right?
Yeah, they are so cute. They talk a lot in this chat room.
And she is absolutely adorable.
Okay, mind blown.
Here, see for yourself.
Is...like Hashida's family loaded?
I Don't think so no.
Alright, then clearly the guy won the lottery.
Wouldn't that be interesting.
Not that he's told us about no.
Then is he...
Oh hey, here he comes now!
Daru!
Oh, Mayuri. Is that Makise?
Hey...
No way it's legitimate! You are tricking her!
Sorry, what are we talking about?
Daru, you are not.
That's so mean.
You might be jumping to conclusion, Kurisu.
They are in a relationship.
They send each other pictures all the time.
What does Miss Right think you look like?
Honestly...
Way to crop.
Not that I really blame you I suppose.
You plagirized One Direction and your IMs
or does she know you are a pervert?
Whatever! You don't even know me!
Wait a sec. Why would send her a pic like that anyway?
I thought you said she liked bears.
Really, Daru? Don't even think about it, Mayuri.
Happy she's current with hookup slang, Lothario?
Have I mentioned I am glad you are back?
This place is as big a sty as it ever was.
Kurisu.
Some tea for you.
Oh, upvote.
Spoken like a first gen subreddit moderator.
Shut up!
Guess Okarin's running late.
He had to run an errand for Mr. Braun.
Said he was stopping by Ameyoko for something afterward.
I bet he will be sorry he wasn't here to say hi.
Ha! Oh well.
Careful, you shouldn't drink so fast.
No worries. I am perfectly fine, I swear.
Truth be told, I am glad he's not here!
Less energy I expend on that man, the better.
Tsundere template for the win.
I don't have to take this from you!
Curse that mendacious mandelbrot man.
Simple errand, he said. It won't take minutes.
It's me. We have been infiltrated.
The Organization's agents are without scruple.
What do you mean? Of course it's an emergency!
Very well then. If that's the choice of Steins;Gate, so be it.
"El Psy Kongroo."
Still an obnoxious twerp, I see.
Was there any doubt?
So, the prodigal assistant returns.
Oh, I am sorry. We prefer Mata Hari
or rather her highness, the over analyzing banana queen.
We should shorten that. How's " Nanagirl?"
I hope you are amusing yourself!
'Cause you are just annoying me.
And there we are.
A reaction that could only have come from the bonafide...
Cristina!
All this time and you still insist on butchering my name!
Oh woman, thou are fickle.
I remind you the Future Gadget Lab is first and foremost clandestine.
Clearance to enter our sanctum sanctorum
is granted only with proper authorization.
You are on thin ice, my dear.
I'm a member of this lab.
I have the every right to come and go as I damn well please!
She spins her web in absentia for the better part of a year,
and presumes to lecture me on the privileges of the membership.
Why, she is nothing if not bullheaded!
I am not bullheaded...
This is nice. Whole g*ng back under one roof just like the good old days.
Yeah and their cute bickering picked up right where it left off.
What should I call you?
Our highness, the over analyzing banana queen, trips off
Cut it out!
And pray tell what bring you tottling back to the motherland?
Oh my, dare I dream you come to apologize?
Apologize for what exactly?
Ditching your delusions?
If you must know, I am here to attend to a very important conference.
And I wanted to check in on Mayuri.
Here. I got you a souvenir.
Oh, seriously? Thank you so much!
Only a sewing kit that it's from the states.
Oh, and a little something for you too.
That's so incredibly sweet.
You bring me the region one special edition bluray of Primer ass w*r?
Would it have gotten me arrested at customs?
Sorry, I am afraid I have nothing for the gentlemen for the group.
I wqas only planning to see Mayuri and Ruka.
Foolish woman! I am not so thinskinned as all that!
I expected nothing. You plied your awkward gifts. Now, begone!
Well fine. You don't need to kick me out.
I have to check into my room in the hotel anyway.
What? You're going already?
It's okay, sweetie.
I am in town for a while. We'll hey before I leave.
Kyouma! We have arrived, meow~!
Sorry to just show up.
Hey, look. It's Moeka and Faris!
What are you doing here?
Huh? I was told there'd be a barbecue.
Kyouma invited us himself.
He said it was a special occasion on a count
of a certain wayward assistant returning from across the sea.
He texted. See.
Whoa, that's...
What's that you say?
Violent solar storm are playing havoc with wireless networks the world over,
and causing auditory hallucinations?
Incredible!
No. Don't tell me the Seven Sages of Seiryuzan have made their move, meow!
You dropped by the cafe?
I thought Mr.Braun sent you to a parts shop.
Calm down.
Come now. Surely, you don't lay this peccadillo at my door.
Our gathering is the choice of Steins;Gate.
Mayuri! Ready a round table meeting stat!
Okay!
Good and Rukako?
Yeah?
I do believe you owe me the codephrase.
El Psy... Kung fu?
Wait, Con-flu
You know it, silly billy. It's "Kongroo".
You have time to stick around for a meeting, right?
Yeah, I suppose.
No more teasing her, promise?
You too, Okarin.
Maybe he just can't deal.
Mix, meow~! Mix, meow~! Mixy, meow~!
Mix, meow~!
Yes! Full eye-contact Mixy Meow Yakisoba for the win!
Oh, I think this might be undercooked.
I like it rare.
She's just being nice.
That one she liked.
Whoa, I didn't know you could eat green peppers, Nae.
You are so tough.
Really? I love these things.
Dad can't stand anything spicy.
One year.
Time flies.
Dammit! No, not now.
I call bullshit!
What are you blabbering...
Any way you slice it, two and two does not equal five.
I am intrigued but baffled.
The time travel thing. It's just impossible.
A pile of new age hoax.
Watch it!
Wait a minute, are you...
Hey!
I distinctly remember purchasing only non-alcoholic beer.
Brought my own. Non-alcoholic beer is for quitters.
Don't try to change the subject.
Fine. What are we talking about?
About the stuff you said.
That stupid sci-fi stuff you tried to sell me on in America.
World lines and time machines.
All that stuff about the different versions of me.
You can't just drop that on a girl and take off.
Rude.
She's liable to feel disoriented.
Kurisu, I never.
Unbelievable. All the time to revisit old wounds, you choose this moment?
Oh, sure.
Would've embarrassed you, right?
What? No, I...
I just throught...
Default Alt: Why care about what Cristina feels.
Who's she...
Oh-Oh no.
Something wrong, meowster~?
Everything is fine!
My Special End of the Century Yakisoba is almost complete, meow~!
This son of a motherless goat sends me not one solitary email the entire summer.
Nada! Not so much as an emoji!
He said he loved me, you know!
Hey hey!
Or it could just be confusing world line..
more bottles of beer on the wall.
bottles of beer.
You take one out...
Clearly the sauce talking. Let's dial it back a notch.
In fact, why don't we take this downstairs?
Get your filthy hands off of me!
Would you kindly not break my neck?
Hey, Okabe~!
Oh dear.
Hold me!
What are you...
Yeah, your skin feels nice.
Default Alt: Knock it off! That's weird.
Manly stubble.
Someone might see us.
Who gives a damn?
That a problem for you?
No, not at all. It's just...
So, you are okay with this?
I...I didn't say that either.
Well, decide!
Or does Steins;Gate's dictate all your romantic entanglements too?
Hey! I...Let me talk.
Oh sure! And how long should I wait?
Whoa whoa, ease up! You are gonna...
Some assistant you are.
Here. Your head must be throbbing.
Thanks.
Don't mention it.
That tone supposed to mean something to me?
Haven't you made enough of a scene for one night?
Just so we are clear, I have every right to be pissed at you.
God, the things you filled my head with and I am a woman of science.
I disdain the idea of fate. I mean I am reasonable.
Time machines and world lines are a fantasy.
Yeah, I know.
And yet, here I am ignoring the logical voice
in my head despite myself just because...
something keeps tugging at the back of my mind telling me to believe.
Oh, this is...
A spoon and fork.
Is that...
You wanted a pair inscribed with your initials, didn't you?
Well yes as a matter of fact.
But I don't recall ever telling you that.
Of course, different world line.
Okay then...not sure how I feel about you peeking into my mind.
I...I need to lie back down.
Yeah, sure.
Okarin, you are gonna miss out on Faris' yakisoba.
Oh, yes.
Mayuri, quick question.
I told you the whole story, didn't I?
The time traveling, jumping world lines. All that.
With all the mes and Kurisus.
Like a bunch of different walkthroughs of the same videogame.
Be straight with me. You really believe in that stuff?
Why wouldn't I?
Some don't.
Some can't.
Well, it's not like you to fib.
If you say you traveled through time,
and met different versions of all of us in another world lines,
it's probably true.
Maybe it's easy for me to take your word for it
'cause I can't get my head around all the technical details but so what?
Maybe some people are too smart, you know?
So, it's hard for them to change their minds.
Could be there's too much in their heads they have to think around.
Well, I am going back up on the roof.
Time machine are real...
Oh no!
Mayuri!
Okarin?
Hey, do you know where the new dish towel is?
I thought I saw it on the counter.
It's not there now or the top shelf.
Did I put it in a drawer?
Aha! There you are, Mr. dish towel.
Dude, what? What's wrong?
Where am I?
I love barbecuing on the roof.
It;s like a picnic with a view of downtown.
Default Alt: Right? Doesn't hurt that Faris reserves a little
Default Alt: one on one time with her favorite hunka hunka love either.
Default Alt: Mayuri!
Default Alt: Behind me now!
Kurisu, get up!
Okarin, What's happening?
Oh, is someone coming?
I'll explain later!
Okabe? What is this?
Be quiet!
Hey guys, it's me. You left this up on the roof. So, i thought I...
Freeze!
Whoa, Okabe! What the hell.
You nuts?
Kurisu, fire up the time leap machine now!
Now, god dammit!
Put the Kn*fe down, quick! I don't know what you are talking about.
Don't be an imbecile! It's over there by the workstation...
Hang on, this is the Steins Gate world line, isn't it?
Do what?
Steins:Gate? Yes, that's right.
The world line past the divergence barrier.
That's the name you told me you gave it, remember?
Oh...I'm sorry...
Idiot kid's lost his mind.
I don't understand.
What did I just see?
Was it a dream? A delusion?
Impossible! Everything about it was so vivid.
I was on another world line.
But how? I haven't been meddling with time.
Dammit, man, think! This simply cannot be!
It was a figment of my imagination. There's no other answer.
Your memories of alternate timelines are somehow
superimposing themselves onto present, that's all.
Pretty sweet view, huh?
You wanna slow down every now and then if you don't want your days running together.
Especially in our case.
I'd rather take stock at the world's natural beauty
when we are done with the time leap machine.
This heat is k*lling me.
Why do I let myself get talked into stunts like this?
Poor Daru.
I know. You should start an exercise regimen so you can lose some weight.
That way the heat won't bother you so much, yeah?
What is this?
Where am I?
Pathetic.
You better get it together if you expect to survive, boss.
Suzuha...
You did it to yourselves.
You drove my father to take his own life.
Please.
Stop!
What's happening to me?
Okarin?
Mayuri...
You feeling alright?
Of course, In fact, never better.
Sorry if my outburst earlier frightened you.
Infernal demon always takes possession of my right arm
and doing so, it's certain to cause an uproar.
It's fine. You don't have to apologize.
Wow, you are sweating buckets.
Thank you.
I can't do very much.
But I like to to try and do whatever I can.
I have been having this dream lately.
The same dream. You saved me over and over again from all sorts of different things.
Every night, you are so brave but then you always end up so sad.
Mayuri.
Don't think about it.
But...
Dreams don't mean anything.
Yeah. They are so random.
Let's go home.
Okay.
You remember when you hugged me like this the last time?
It feels nice. Thank you.
Excuse me!
Hey there, Faris. Good morning.
And the top of the meowning to you.
How we looking?
Sorry. Not good, sir.
How not good?
Well to be frank, unless you have money stashed away somewhere,
this month's utility bill puts us in the red.
Dammit to hell! Maybe I oughta start slapping a crazy tax on the rent.
This is what I loved most about travel.
Free artisan soap and adjustable showerheads.
Excuse me!
Probably housekeeping.
I put the freaking "Do Not Disturb" sign out.
Are you kidding me? How did I lock myself in?
Makise Kurisu.
You don't have a lot of time. So, pay attention.
What?
Cell phone, microwave,
SERN.
Remember.
It's vital that you put those three things in your head.
If you can do that, you have a chance.
Stay sharp.
Somebody there?
What was the supposed to mean?
Microwave, cell phone, and SERN.
Well, that was a thing that happened.
I mean I should be thankful they didn't take anything but still.
Definitely raising hell at the front desk about their key card security.
Oh, and what pray tell is wrong with their key card security? I am fascinated.
'Kay, for starters, there is nothing wrong with my room.
And if there was any incidents, it would be filed under " none of your beeswax."
I...I was thinking out loud.
What are you doing here anyway?
In all fairness, I should ask you that.
Research has anointed my garments with the noble accrual
of dirt and grime afforded them by proximity to genius.
I take the opportunity of cleansing them to continue my inspired ruminations.
And I will thank you not to disturb me.
Well, I hate to bust up your concentration, Archimedes,
but this happens to be public property.
Move aside.
Don't gawk at my unmentionables and I won't laugh at yours.
Hey! You shouldn't open that.
You have to open them when it's done or you will get mildew.
Saying this lab coat seen better days is being charitable.
Talk about grime.
Foolish, not all is as it seems.
Those belong to Daru.
This is why I always pack hand sanitizer.
I hope you appreciate that your reaction would break Daru's heart.
How would I know you would do the fat man's laundry?
Although, of course you only have one b*at up lab coat.
Your idea a of b*at up lab coat happens to be my idea of signature style.
Keep telling yourself that, Schnell.
For heaven's sake, look. The sleeve is torn.
Give it here, I will sew it up.
What?
What's that look?
Nothing...Nothing at all.
You know, it wouldn't k*ll you to carry a sewing kit.
Well, probably not.
Here.
I bought it in the states.
A good scientist needs a spare.
Should be a decent fit. I-I mean, I had to guess. They size things differently.
I am...sure it's fine.
And here I had given up hope that you'd brought me a gift.
Don't even! it's not a gift. it's just...
The store was running some dumb sale.
It's a thank you for the monogrammed utensils,
which was kind of nice.
Okay, so, you are not allowed to say anything.
My needlework is what it is.
No bitching.
Also, i am fresh out of white thread.
It's fine, thanks.
Something wrong?
Not really.
Right. Alternate world line déjà vu.
In a matter of speaking, yes.
But then, no.
Great. That's not complicated at all. Thank you for clearing that up.
Time is complicated.
My Reading Steiner enables me to recall events
as they unfolded in different realities.
True, it doesn't always enable me to tell them apart though.
World lines are countless, all forever converging, splitting, re configuring.
It's madness.
I bounced from one to the next in virtually endless succession
before I reached the one I was looking for.
World line where you are sitting right here, staring in disbelief.
Mayuri works at Queen Mays.
It's my true north. What gives it all meaning.
You are not kidding.
Yeah well, honestly I think I am just babbling to try
and make your feelings reflect everything we went through together.
Time travel is a lonely business.
I'm being selfish.
Okay? Where is this coming from?
Change of subjects.
I note your hands have stopped moving.
Something the matter?
Maybe I am little distracted. Cut me some slack.
I mean if everything you are telling me is somehow true,
I don't even know how to deal with it.
I can hardly fault you for being skeptical.
I think I was crazy too hearing me go on about world lines.
Don't be dramatic.
Strictly speaking, it's not world lines I have problems with.
I just can't conceive of our mind being able to
haul memories across independent realities.
I mean, come on. Reading Steiner sounds like something out of the DSMV.
It bothers you, doesn't it?
Not really, well except...
For example, here I am sewing up this rip in your sleeve.
And for some reason, it seems familiar to me.
Like weird archetypal gesture.
Just regular déjà vu, I suppose. No reason it couldn't be.
Trouble is, it happens around you a lot more than I like to admit.
Now, no doubt you'd say I have done this on another world line.
Question is, have I?
I take it the answer is yes.
Where are you going with this?
Just hear me out.
The consensus among neuro-scientists is that déjà vu is a result of
short-term memory overlapping with the long-term memory.
Like the wires crossing on different neural pathways,
throwing them out of sync.
Your Reading Steiner trick seem similar,
except it's not long term, it's short term.
It's memories from divergent world lines.
So, the barin's recall apparatus is thrown off-kilter
and arranging conflicting memories along the same continium.
For instance, in my head,
the notion I have mended your sleeve on some other world line
is fine with the conviction that this is the first time I have done it.
That's interesting.
Déjà vu and Reading Steiner, two sides of a coin.
I don't know how to go about proving it,
but yes, I feel like I am on the right track.
I plan on writing a paper about it after I get back to America.
The more things change, the more they stay exactly the same.
You astonish me.
Let me stop you while I can that as a compliment.
Here's the deal. You tell me when any of these
alternate memories start crowding your gestalt,
And I will start writing them down.
Tutturu~
That sound means lunch time!
Music to my ears.
What tasty goodness did you bring me today?
Well, it felt like a chicken tenders kind of day,
so, I got us stuff from your favoritest fluffy-guff place in the universe.
Oh, I thought we did tenders yesterday, Mai.
Hard at work inventing?
Yup.
Figured Future Gadget numero could do with a little upgrade
on account of heat being redonkulous..
Cool Visitor is now perfect!
You sure like messing around with these sort of stuff, don'tcha?
Wouldn't have made much sense for me to name this place
the Future Gadget Laboratory if I didn't take making tons of gadgets.
Oh, hey, how's it going, Kurisu?
What's up with you?
Tell me he is here!
Who?
What do you mean who?
i was just with him at the laundromat and he vanished into thin air.
Maybe if you gave us a name?
Oh, come on! You know, the guy.
He is your friend.
For crying out loud, he founded this lab.
Who are you talking about?
I wasn't at the laundromat.
Yeah, I know that! That's not...
Oh, are you confusing Daru with Ruka?
Of course not.
Are you talking about Faris? Or maybe you were with Kiryuu?
No! I am talking about a guy!
He's...I can't think of his name but he's Member .
Member ?
No one's been designated with that name yet.
I thought we explained that to you before.
We decided to leave the title of open, remember?
But...
Wait a second. Then, whose coat is this?
What do you mean? That's yours.
No, it's not.
Oh, of course.
Sorry. I don't know what came over me just now.
That's a relief. For a second there, you had me worried something awful happened.
No no.
Little vacay from sandy there, Miss Makise?
Shut up!
If I had to put my finger on it,
I would say that was the first inclination I had that something was off.
Something was missing.
Something that was constant in my life was now inexplicably gone.
I could feel it.
I knew things were different.
But I have absolutely no idea how.
The world just seems strange like...
a simulation or a lucid dream.
It was so pervasive, I started getting paranoid someone was playing with my mind.
Was it all an illusion?
Should I seek some kind of professional help?
Was my brain gradually disassociating itself from the real world?
All I could think about that there is something I had to remember.
At the same time, all I wanted to do was let go of the whole thing and just forget.
I was at w*r with myself.
About a week or so later, the nagging sense of unreality began to fade.
Till the universe gave me a hint.
This has my name.
It's vital you put those three things in your head.
Hello?
Sorry, do you have a second to talk?
You are in luck, madam.
I just hit my fap quota for the day. So, I am wide open.
A simple yes or no would have done.
You know who SERN is? The research in Geneva?
Whoa, slow down.
Have you installed spyware on my PC when I wasn't looking?
The hell would you think that?
Because otherwise, it's creepy you bring up SERN
when I just hacked their network the other day.
You hacked SERN? Why on earth would you...
What for?
I don't know.
It was there.
Stay where you are. I am coming over.
This means something.
Of course!
Aww, What a pretty ribbon.
I know, right?
You should totally try this on.
It's okay. I have other outfit I can compete in.
It is kinda cute.
Got the cosplay bug.
Please! Don't you dare even go there.
Like I would traipse around in public wearing that.
Finished!
Yay! Mayushii takes home the gold!
We were racing? Oh dear, you cleaned our clock, huh?
But we are not far behind.
Matter of fact...
May I present to you the time-leap machine and microwave.
Let's hope it works as it meant to.
It may not be a masterpiece,
but this puppy is able to transfer a person's memory to any point in the past.
Especially now that we got access to the LHC.
At any rate, that's the theory.
How did you dream this up in the first place?
In the interest of full disclosure,
it's probably a lot more accurate to say I remembered it.
Hold the phone. Are you trying to tell us you made one of these things before?
Let's just say it's complicated.
The blueprints are in my head, but hell if I know where they came from.
So, we talking past life or divine intervention?
No idea.
But look at you. What's with SERN?
Why did you suddenly decide on a whim to spy on them?
I don't know because...
Seemed like a cheap thrill.
I am straight up hacker, honey. It's how we do.
That's all?
Seriously, some part of you didn't specifically feel the need to?
It didn't feel important?
Mayuri, what about you? Why do you always but that brand of soda?
I guess so somebody can drink it if they want to?
But neither you, Hashida nor myself even care for it.
Who's it for then?
No one.
Yet, you show up with the bottle everyday.
Yeah, you are right.
I do.
Something's off.
We can all feel it.
There is a missing piece.
So, what is it?
I intend to find out.
With this.
Wait, what?
Kurisu, you can't! What if it's not safe?
That's a good question.
Honestly, it might be dangerous in ways I can't anticipate.
There is a very real possibility of altering the past
to an extent where reality as I know it ceases to exist.
That said, letting things stand as they are now is clearly not an option.
Yeah but what are you gonna do?
Quite simply, I am gonna jump back to the day before I wen to the laundromat.
I figure my memories of that period are sharp enough to keep me anchored.
Wait, that means you are jumping back more than hours. Is that even a thing?
Why wouldn't it be? Is there a natural limit?
Well, there could...
Seems odd I just assumed that, huh?
Look, if I just play along with my memory of events,
I can mitigate the impact on the timeline.
We are not trying to change anything.
Only figure out why things feel out of joint.
You think this will actually work though?
If it doesn't, I will leave things are they are.
We will shelve the whole idea and never use the machine again.
I expect that to go for everyone here by the way.
All their base are belong to us.
Look, I gotta ask one more time.
Are you sure?
Let 'er rip, Hashida!
Okay. Into the breach!
Mix, meow~! Mixy, meow~! Mix, meow~!
Mix, meow~! Mixy, meow~! Mix, meow~!
Mixy, meow~!
Yes! All Eye-contact Mix Meow Yakisoba for the win!
The pain, the t*rture, the exquisite...
Wow! I didn't think you could eat green peppers, Nae.
You are so tough.
Really? I love these things.
Dad can't stand anything spicy.
Nae, Mayuri,
Hashida, Faris,
landlord, Kiryuu, Urushibara.
Okabe!
What's the matter? You okay, Kurisu?
You said Okabe all intense.
That. That's his name.
How could I have forgotten?
No, strictly speaking, I didn't forget.
It was as if he never existed.
A toast! As the lab's founder, I declare
this rooftop barbecue/yakisoba social officially kawaii.
Hang on. Hang on. Does everyone have a drink?
Come on, people. I am trying to be classy.
Not as if. He genuinely doesn't.
Here you go, Big Sis.
Hey, Okarin. You want me to save you a couple of shrimp?
Okabe!
Safe to say your time leap was successful.
Who...
Top of the building on your right.
Sorry it had to be like this.
Feels shady, I know.
The thing is, seeing it for yourself did more to
jog your memory than words ever could.
I am not sure I follow.
You needed to relive the idea of Okabe's existence.
If I just told you the truth, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Slow down!
First of all, I don't even know who you are.
Sorry! You and I haven't met yet.
My friends call me Amane Suzuha.
Believe it or not, I am from the future
I traveled here on time machine you are going to build one day.
I am going to build? That's nuts.
Not the easiest thing to believe, I realize.
Look, who built what isn't important right now.
What I need you to accept is the instability of Okabe's existence here.
The man's psyche's overloaded.
Memories from alternate world lines
are putting his Reading Steiner on high alert,
which means this world line won't acclimate him.
So, where is he now?
Likely as not, the "R" world line.
The one we are on now we call Steins;Gate.
"R" diverges from it by .%.
Crucial point here.
Steins;Gate happen to be the only world line
in which yours and Mayuri Shiina's death aren't fixed points.
As a result, it's less stable than its neighbors.
More prone to temporal fluctuations.
The "R" world line is the closest alternative to Steins;Gate.
It's basically right next door.
The state of Okabe's Reading Steiner leaves him vulnerable
to the temporal fluctuations endemic to Steins;Gate.
Think of the memories crowding his head like a scarf
he's wearing too close to the input valve of a turbine.
Oh my god. So, this world line has cracks in it.
He falls through them and lands on "R".
I see. That would account for the dizzy spells.
Okabe!
Did you hear all that?
Yeah and it is a bit hard to swallow.
But the Part-Time Warrior avows its truth, honor compels me to concur.
Part-time warrior? Where is that from?
Forgive me. My mistake.
You are neither of those things here.
Forget I said it.
Okabe!
Talk to me!
I really disappear?
Yes... tomorrow morning.
Afterwards, history rewrites itself and leaves you out.
None of us has any memory of you whatsoever.
Isn't that humbling.
Your sense memory of conflicting timelines has rewired your brain.
Reality is presenting itself as a quantum field.
Infants experience the world through a similar lens
before they acquire the concept of object permanence.
This is awful. Memories are beyond our control.
They are unconscious.
Simply the playthings of the hippocampus.
We can no more choose to dismiss a mental image than we can control a dream.
Especially in your case.
The things you experienced, jumping from line to line,
they weren't mundane, they were traumatic.
You lived through hell.
Guilt and heartbrerak and panic stopped you every step of the way.
You reached Steins;Gate but all the key players in that trauma are here.
Same environment, same interactions, same minute details.
It's like you have woken up to a nightmare.
Sure you try to forget,
but everything about where you are drags you back to square one.
Whatever you hold on to to make the memories unreal just reinforces them.
The fact that they don't make sense in terms of your new reality
only shoves them front and center.
So, what did you come here to do?
Save me from the persistence of memory?
Ironic, huh?
Only way to keep you from blipping out of existence
is to rely on the very thing that put you in jeopardy.
I know it's..
Futile?
I demand you return to the future.
And when you get there, dismantle the time machine immediately.
It's existence puts us all in jeopardy.
Just destroy it and write me off as lost.
That's ridiculous! All of this will have been for nothing!
I did not risk my neck leaping here so you can refuse our help.
Wait a minute, you...Please say you didn't.
You time-leapt?
Well, Hashida and I built this machine that...
I figured out hoe to get all the components working...
Why would you do that?
Trying to alter the past is what started this whole nightmare to begin with!
I realize you can't resist putting your
precious theories to the test but godammit!
Time travel is an abomination!
Okabe... you're hurting me!
I am sorry.
Listen to me. I am not about to let you disappear.
I do nothing, you are as good as dead in this world line.
I can't let that happen! Let the past be altered!
What if it doesn't work?
What if you changed things and it doesn't help?
We both know where it will lead.
You will try again.
You do it over and over and over until you get it right.
You will keep telling yourself,
"One more leap. One more chance. I can make this work" but it won't work!
Look at me! Do you want to end up like this?
It's the Butterfly effect.
You can't anticipate what will change.
Everything you do will carry unintended consequences.
Everything.
If you save someone, you will lose someone else.
You will open old wounds just after they healed.
You will give people hope just in time to see it snatched away.
You will hate yourself.
And even then, after all the devastation you have wrought,
all the pain you've suffered, your only reward is more of the same.
Again and again and again and again!
It changes you as a person.
Guilt doesn't even begin to describe what you are haunted by.
You do wake up to a nightmare.
One of your own making that slowly robs you of all sense of self.
But you...
Even if I could be saved, what you will have to go through isn't worth it.
No. There's enough on my conscience without you going mad.
Nature abhors a vacuum.
Time abhors a rerun.
Sooner we accept what we can't change, the sooner we can move on.
That's how it's supposed to be.
Stop it! Stop talking like this.
I can't. I can't bear living without you.
I... I saw it.
I saw you vanish right in front of me.
We couldn't remember who you were.
Our lives carried on like you've never been part of us.
We could feel it but we couldn't remember!
You were gone completely and utterly!
Gosh, it was worse than living for nothing!
You hadn't lived, period!
Then, so be it.
Okabe...
All I ever wanted was for you and Mayuri to be safe.
For the future to be yours.
That's the only thing that matters.
Who am I?
Let me disappear if time wants.
Dammit, listen to yourself. You will be erased from existence.
You will never have said this.
What's passed between us, it will be gone forever.
Good. Then you will be able to move on.
And that's the entire point really.
How long do you intend to shadow me?
Whatever, I am not shadowing you. I am heading to the station.
Your hotel's the other way.
I am running errands.
Such as?
Such as the kind I am not obligated to give you details about.
let me say this.
I am listening.
After tomorrow, when I blip out of existence,
none of the old g*ng will remember who I was.
But because you've experienced what it is to time-leap,
How do I put this?
Our discussion might stay with you.
At least for a little while.
Yeah...I am prepared.
Reading Steiner is universal.
There's good reason to believe everybody possesses it to some degree.
Since you know what it is to travel through time,
chances are your own share in it will be accrued.
So? I kinda already figured that.
Forget me.
Put me out of your mind once and for all.
From now and then I come up,
think of me as an imaginary friend you had to grow out of.
If I had to be anything, let me be a dream.
If you are the only one who remembers, it will drive you crazy, believe me.
There is no pain like it in the world.
Sometimes we all feel like no one understands us,
but in this case, it'd be true.
You are alone.
Is that...Is that what's it's been like for you?
I can't imagine.
Kurisu...
I don't give a damn.
Let me be alone.
I need you to be real!
If you had to start from scratch with me everytime,
what's another outburst gonna hurt?
Just hear me out. If you don't exist, it doesn't cost you anything.
You suffered alone.
Now, you are facing oblivion alone.
It's horrible.
It isn't fair.
You are a selfish bastard!
And in the grand scheme of things, redundant.
You will have Daru and the others.
Mayuri worships you.
And she is the most grounded of all of us, really.
Loyal, nearly to a fault.
A shoulder to cry on.
There's also Faris and Ruka.
All better for you than I am.
Idiot! Can't you tell when a girl's trying to say friends aren't always enough?
You bastard.
In one breath you tell me to forget, and the next you pull a stunt like that?
How am I supposed to push you out of my mind now?
I am sorry.
It's not fair.
After that, nothing.
Not a word from him.
No calls. No texts.
I didn't reach out of course.
What was there left to say between us?
It's not like small talks would have accomplished anything.
We were just...done.
Dammit.
Dammit!
That son of a...
Seriously?
Why do I have to be a runner in all this?
You fill my head with crap and treat me like an indentured servant.
Cut and run after you say you love me.
And for some fool reason, I am hooked?
I can't! I just can't!
Okarin!
Totally nailed the colors.
Ah, nicely done, Mai.
Gives off an aura of intelligence.
I desperately need to see you put on. Please 'kay thanks.
Okay, dial back the creeper.
Okabe! Okabe!
Hey! Would you watch out!
I don't have it in me to forget you.
End of story.
Add it all up and we spent a minor eternity together.
That's insane.
And a long time to hold these feelings back.
You might vanish.
But how I feel isn't going anywhere.
You okay?
But of course.
Never better.
Yay. Hi.
Okabe!
What are you doing here?
I am sorry, I love you!
Clean up, isle nine.
We need paper towel stat!
Right! I am on it.
Where are they?
By the sink.
Oh!
What's the matter?
You alright?
Where did he go?
He was standing right there.
Who?
i saw him. I did. I am sure of it.
He was...He was just...
I...
Who are you talking about?
What do you mean who?
The guy! I can't think of his name.
Oh, for crying out loud, he is your friend. He founded this lab.
Founded the lab?
You talking about me?
O...ka...Okabe...
Ri...Rintarou.
That's...
That's his name.
That's his name!
What is it?
You are scaring me.
Did somebody do something to you?
Hashida! I need your phone. Give it to me!
What for?
Just do as I say!
Hand me your phone and get on your computer and hack into SERN..
Now, dammit!
I won't accept this!
I don't care what you say, it's wrong!
I am not going to just let you slip away.
Kurisu, please, don't do it.
Mayuri...
I am scared. I don't know why but I am.
Somehow I know if you don't stop, it will make things worse.
And just like that, I pulled a .
I made up my mind to let go and move on.
Safe travels.
Promise not to be a stranger.
I quit. Surrendered you to oblivion.
You have gone through hell getting all us to this reality.
I thought it was only right to respect your wishes.
So, I pushed you out of my mind.
Eventually, the name Okabe evoked nothing.
I embraced a world without you in it.
Fixed my sight on the future.
The future. Your gift to us.
Hiya, Daru.
Aww, you're not coming?
Yeah, sorry. It's too hot.
Plus there's a Rai-Net tournament today. So, you know.
Right.
You should stop by.
I would love to see you and Faris face off in a twin battle.
It'd be kinda awkward since I am not on the schedule.
Some other time then.
Okay.
Gird your loins.
Tonight, we commence Operation Midgard!
Moeka, hello.
What brings you here?
It's my boss.
He would like a word.
In other words, despite monumental advances
in neruroimaging over the past two decades,
we are more or less still in the dark as to the functions dreams serve
within the framework of evolutionary psychology.
Please join me for my next lecture where I will be delving
into the cross-currents of this fascinating field.
I am starving.
I need to figure out what I am going to do for dinner tonight.
It doesn't look like we have much of a choice.
Youa re kidding me, right?
I shook what could from my rainy day fund,
but it's still not even close to enough.
So, that's the end of it? We are throwing in the towel?
But we can't just close down!
Not like you have a talk in the fight. Why do you care?
Because we...
Look, fact is we've been hemorrhaging money
to make rent on these digs for while now.
A human being can eat so much top ramen.
That's just too expensive.
I don't even know why I set up shop here in the first place.
But whatever the reason, we have jack squat to show for it.
That's for sure.
But where is Mayuri supposed to go?
You can't shut this place down. It's all she's got!
You don't have to worry about me, honest. I will always have the maid cafe.
I don't want...
No, really. I am lonely here anyway.
This place just feels, I don't know, just sort of empty?
Sad maybe?
I am having trouble finding the words.
It's like something is missing.
Weird thing to say.
I know, right? I am not even sure what I mean.
Me neither.
See you.
And don't be down. We still have the lab for a little while.
I will text you if anything happens.
Sure.
Come on. Show me that smile.
Well, I have got to go.
Yeah, me too.
This is my reality now.
It's the way things are.
Yep. Well, for the timeline you are on at any rate.
I thought I would see you one last time before I take off.
After all, there's no reason to stay.
Hey, if you are content to live in a world without Okabe Rintarou,
that's your business.
In the end, it's not my place to talk you out of what you want.
Unless, there is a chance this isn't what you want.
That you are simply in denial.
Let me throw this at you.
However this version of reality unfolds,
the man who saved your life won't be back.
Once I leave, that's the story.
You will never see him again and there will be nothing you can do about it.
You good with that?
Look, I know where you are going, but Okabe's wishes are clear.
I can't go down this road with you.
Past is better off left alone. The risk we incur trying to...
Yeah, thank you! I am familiar with the risks!
That's not what I am asking you?
Please...just...just don't.
Guess I should have known this was a wasted of time.
Alright, down the line, you build the time machine.
That's a fact.
But Okabe said...
History's what it is. You are how I am here.
You say, "the hell with Okabe's wishes",
then the moment the machine's finished, you have dad seal it away.
Second thoughts about what side of the issue you are on apparently.
The point is, you keep contradicting yourself.
One minute you wanna save him,
the next you decide to agree with him
about time travel being an abomination.
Again and again, you put everything you have
into making the impossible a reality,
only to back off at the last minute.
All 'cause you can't be honest with yourself.
Why tell me all this?
I am starting to wonder.
Maybe I was hoping your past self would be less conflicted.
Oh well.
I suppose we are all hypocrites.
Gee, thanks! That's helpful.
It's the truth.
I know what you are trying to do.
You won't change my mind by appealing to my emotion. So, stop.
I am scientist. I operate on logic...
Yo, daughter of the enlightenment! Spare me the rationale!
I can spot a charade from a mile away.
It's infuriating!
Yeah well, you are infuriating.
Okabe is no longer a part of this reality.
Tragic, yes, but there's nothing we can do.
I will carry that burden the rest of my life.
Then why did you build the machine that brought me here?
Sheer curiosity?
A toy to satisfy your pride?
Lay it out for me.
Because I will tell you what I think.
I think the real burden here is your logic.
Impressive.
Let's go.
You really think it's possible to put things right?
The future certainly thinks it's worth the sh*t.
Altering the past will shift this world line, that much we know.
The trick here will be to manipulate Okabe's memories
without causing a perceptible change in the way the events play out.
His memories?
They are the reason his brain can't grasp
the Steins:Gate world line as a discreet entity.
To him, it's just another head on the hydra.
Your job is to make him accept this reality as fixed.
Not one more iterations among many but the ground of his being.
So, rewrite his relationship to the past.
Yes.
And the best way to do that
is to plant a memory in his head all the others can rally around.
Something that will give Steins;Gate a solid foundation.
Make it stand out as more real.
His Reading Steiner is overload.
It's an abscess on his psyche.
What we need to do is lance it.
Sounds like a decent hypothesis.
Future me really knows her stuff.
What does it say that she never tested it out herself?
Heads up. You are gonna wanna take a seat.
What you see is internal conflict.
What I see is exemplary scientific ethics.
Narcissist.
Oh, come on. No fair. I am not a narcissist.
I am a scientist.
That was lame.
Wow, you really aren't gonna change much.
What's the old saying? "The girl is mother to the woman?"
Okay, what year should we set a course for?
What? Why are you asking me?
You know better than I would.
What we need is a benchmark era.
Some defining period that helped shape how he sees himself.
.
Based on what?
Just a hunch about something Mayuri said.
The more intense the better right.
Something that lodged itself permanently in his psyche?
That's the ticket.
I trust you.
Brace yourself. We are about to pull some serious Gs.
You won't have your cell phone.
If you need to contact me, get creative.
Wait! I still have no idea what I am supposed to do.
Look, you know what the objective is.
Achieving it is a matter of personal resources.
Treat it like a demolition's recon.
Only instead of expl*sives, you are planting memory.
Future Makise is gunning for ya.
I wish I had your confidence.
Go.
I have Mayuri's old address but...
If Okabe's gone from this timeline, can I even track down his past self?
Non-existence might run both ways.
At least, that's what one would tend to assume.
And even if I do find him, what then?
What do I say?
What if I screw up?
How do I minimize the Butterfly effect?
Everything I do will carry unintended consequences.
Everything.
Oh my god...
Excuse me!
Okabe! Okabe!
Hold up! I need to talk to you first!
It's alright. The world line will converge.
Will they? What a relief.
Only seen a version of him die.
It will all work out. This is only one reality.
Or...I just say that to myself.
What if he always dies when I try to make contact?
What if my presence here makes him being hit by a car inevitable?
What if the next time something even worse happens?
Nature abhors a rerun.
He will die everytime I try to interfere.
He won't actually be dead.
All those timelines will get rolled up into Steins;Gate.
Yes, exactly. That's the issue.
He is k*lled on all divergent timeline,
and simply doesn't exist in ones they break from.
It's a snake eating its own tail.
No! The future you set...
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
Poor bastard...This is exactly what he went through.
I can't.
I just can't.
Okay, what are you?
Oh, hi Kurisu!
Tutturu~
Hello.
Hey would you call this "furniture" or "audio equipment"?
I can't decide.
Why? You gonna toss it?
Yeah. Can't take it with.
I am trying to label stuff for the garbage collectors.
You seem kind of upset.
I am.
Not much I can do about it either.
Hey, I have a question.
Does the word "Okarin" mean anything to you?
Weird, right? it pops into my head.
Mostly when I am here in the lab by myself.
Like when i am cleaning, or working on a cosplay.
Even sometimes in a middle of a snack.
No.
What's the matter?
Makise!
Urushibara...
Training, huh?
Yep. I do a swings every single day.
I am on the verge of unlocking sacred blade Samidare's special power.
Sacred balde Samidare. Cool name. Is that from something?
Yeah.
Well, actually...
I mean I guess so.
Whoever gave me that katana must have called it that, right?
Stop it!
Virus, meow~!
Faris just pawned me.
Game, set, and match.
Score's -.
Talk about a one-sided game.
Hey hey, Kurisu's back, everybody!
What are you guys doing here?
They were having a Rai-Net tournament at Queen Mays.
But they moved the game here
so that Faris could go mano y mano with the lab's founder.
I had nothing planned after my interview.
So when the lady summoned, I came a running.
Wait, what?
Yup.
You heard right. Everybody's favorite sloth is getting a job job.
Figured that was our best option if we want to keep this place.
Hashida...
i am telling you, something's still not right.
The guy I used to play with from FG Contingent the was better?
Ha. Oh my now.
Matter of fact, he was awful.
But he was invested. His att*cks were vivacious.
Sounds fun.
it was, meow~! Every game sparkled.
Daru, strike a pose, now!
Like this?
This is a meowkery.
I think I understand...
There was someone else.
You mean for real?
he is gone now but...
Déjà vu!
I get it now.
Déjà vu isn't symptomatic fo delusion.
it heralds out capacity for remembering alternate timelines.
That's what Reading Steiner is.
And he was right.
We all have it.
Of course we do.
Our memories transcend time.
We transcend time.
You obnoxious man.
Like anyone who's ever talked to you could push you out of their mind.
There's no denying, Okabe.
One way or another, he always comes roaring back.
i was ready to give up.
Convinced I had to let you go.
Even with the time machine at the ready, I couldn't see the point of holding on.
But here we all are,
grasping at traces of you on instinct.
Unable to forget.
Kurisu? You alright?
yes, of course.
I am Hououin Kyouma!
Hear me! I shall bring the status quo to its knees.
The powers that be will tremble!
Behold, the Future Gadget Laboratory!
Genesis of all things diabolical!
Don't take this the wrong way but I think the heat's gotten into your head.
Why does this feel so familiar?
Stop it.
Hold thy tongue, hack!
I am the rabbit hole's preeminent denizen.
Hououin Kyouma.
I am sorry, you said something?
Wait, why is that familiar?
Don't remember!
Mayuri! The ambrosia of the cognoscenti now!
Hi, everybody.
Oh.
Rukako! Your swordplay.
Yes?
Stand to. Showcase what you have learned and take up Samidare.
Do its forbears proud young grasshopper.
Right.
Stop it...You can't save him.
Here, Kurisu. This what you wanted?
Thought so.
I know you are not the real Hououin Kyouma but nice try.
You have the way he talks down pat.
Yeah but there's only ever been one.
Okabe Rintarou...
Okabe Rintarou...
Oka... rin?
Wait a minute. I know that name from somewhere.
I am little fuzzy on the detail but it's coming to me.
Okarin. He goes by Kyouma.
Okabe?
Yes! Wait.
Samidare.
Okarin... Okarin...
You know, it's kinda funny.
I-I am not sure who we are talking about but...
the name makes me feel all warm.
Weird, right?
Human beings always reach for something beyond themselves to hang on to.
Just like you clung to the idea of saving us.
You might be forgotten to this world line.
But traces of you are etched into the fabric of reality.
Feelings transcend space and time.
Okabe...
Any second now, you will walk by just like last time.
And I still don't know what I am doing here.
How can I save you?
Emotions may overlay the variations of ourselves.
But events still solidify and converge.
Our paths are too well trodden.
Here, darling. Dry yourself off.
You are welcome to stay a while.
You'll get soaked.
What am I doing?
I mean, look at me.
i barely even know the guy.
I have bits and pieces but that's it.
A handful of moments from this world line and...
the fragments coming at me from different versions of the past.
Before all this, I outright dismissed any non-linear view of time as psychotic.
Easy to do when emotional stakes aren't so high.
When you have something to protect though...
Dammit!
Why couldn't it ever summon up the courage to tell him how I felt?
Why did I always let myself be baited?
Why did we always fight?
Granted, he's a strong cup of coffee but still.
I have trust issues.
Even as a kid, I couldn't reach out.
I built walls around myself, wrote people off.
I was an uppity brat.
Is it any wonder my own father loathes me.
All i wanted was respect.
For someone to say, "Hey, that girl's got it together."
Is that so unrealistic?
To be appreciated for what you managed to make it through on your own?
You look lost.
I...
I have known this girl since we were little.
Lately, she's been lost.
I don't know what I can say to bring her back.
Maybe...
Maybe there isn't anything.
By any chance, do you know...Kyouma?
I don't think so no.
Hououin Kyouma. Not your average clipboard jockey.
He's a mad scientist, crazy as they come.
To call him an intense personality is underselling it.
His friends used to make fun of him for rambling /.
Talked about taking over the world, inventing time travel, blah blah.
No on ever believed him.
But he did actually stumble onto one of the greatest discoveries of mankind.
Something no one else could see but him.
And it wound up being a terrible burden.
Once the genie was out of the bottle,
all it ever seem to bring was pain and suffering.
What began as his greatest triumph turned into the fight of his life.
He struggled tooth and nail to save the people he loved.
In the end, he only managed to put the lid on Pandora's box.
He was a hero and not a single person had a clue what he'd done.
Not that he cared.
What's recognition to a mad scientist?
People went on laughing at him and he just continued rambling.
Poor guy.
How sad.
Sad? You don't think it's a little romantic?
Get out of here. She's waiting.
You will figure out what to say.
I promise.
Mayuri!
Okarin?
I'm not letting them take you!
You're my hostage, do you hear me?
You can't escape a mad scientist. So, don't even try!
Gird your loins, plebeians! I shall now outline Operation Norn!
Stop ogling me! Pervert!
What are you doing?
How did you get here?
Strictly speaking, I didn't.
This is you trying to get back to Steins;Gate.
I am along for the ride because...
I am a permanent feature of your psyche.
Think back. I have been with you for a while now.
On every timeline. Through every split.
So is Mayuri.
So is Daru, and Faris, and Urushibara, Moeka, Amane.
Everyone.
Nobody's really forgotten anything.
It's just like you to think you are propping up this world singlehandedly.
But you are wrong.
Remember this.
Whatever world line you're on, you are not alone.
Whatever reality you jump to, I will follow.
That's how it works with you and me.
I mean, come on.
Somebody's gotta keep your delusions under control, right?
If that is the choice of Steins:Gate, who am I to disagree?
To business then, assistant.
I would like it back if you would.
I am referring to my first kiss.
Nope.
