Ah, there you are.
Don't stay up here so long you draw the ire of Uncle Heat Stroke.
Says the guy who's always sprawled out on the roof like a cat.
It's cloudy today anyway.
Hey, d'you find Mayuri...?
Daru said he didn't see her at all at Comima.
Yeah... I saw her afterward.
Ah...
Hey... Okabe?
What's up?
Never mind, then...
Hey...
It's starting to rain.
Where the hell did this come from?!
You could have mentioned the rain a little sooner, y'know...
For cryin' out loud, I'm soaked to the bone.
I'm no meteorologist.
You were the one staring up at the clou--
You're such a perv!
Hey, it's not like I was trying to ogle you, okay?!
Your penchant for sheer clothing can hardly be held against me.
Guess I forgot what a typical male you can be!
As if I'd go to any undue trouble to catch a glimpse of your scrawny a--
Finish that thought and I'll smack you so hard,
your cerebral neocortex will be pudding!
Yeah, you'd like that--wouldn't you, Zombie!
Hey, get outta my face!
Was that... always there?
I must've snagged it on something while I was looking for you...
God, you're klutzy.
Because I used my points on intelligence, not dexterity.
Sure ya did...
Whatever gets you through the night, dark elf.
Give it here...
I keep a sewing kit on me--
I can get it fixed up for you in a jiff.
Quite the hausfrau.
Spare me the smirk.
I get it, I'm a girl so I'm good at home-ec stuff--
blah... Just gimme the damn coat.
As you've probably noticed, it's kinda dark in here,
so don't expect needlework worthy of Athena...
I'd say what color thread I'm using, 'cept that I can't even tell.
Your choices, quote-unquote, are black, red, and pink.
I'm just praying that I don't get the pink...
Ah! Don't try anything!
Oh, don't worry.
I'm pretty sure a coat-rack would prove more arous--
What part of "brain pudding" didn't you get?!
Hmph. You're a piece of work...
Where'd you even go
that you managed to rip it like this, anyway?
Let me see...
I went to the lab... The laundromat...
Took a walk... Last of all...
I made a trip to your fancy hotel.
My hotel...? How come?
I didn't have much choice...
You wouldn't reply to my messages... or answer my calls...
Wait, were you... worried about me--?
I'd be remiss if I didn't keep tabs on my assistant...
Can't have you running amok.
Aren't you done sewing yet?
Hold your horses. Catch!
It's still soggy!
Just put it on.
Who wants to see the scrawny body
of a mad scientist with pudding for a brain?!
It happened right here... didn't it?
This is where... where you found me...
How... do you know that...?
I didn't know. I only suspected...
But now that we're here, I'm having these feelings...
So you... you remember being...?!
Yeah... I can remember it happening...
But the memories I have are so hazy...It's Like...
I dunno... Like I'm looking at myself through a fog.
They're not just of... that.
I remember you... How hard this all has been...
You want to save Mayuri so badly...
You're so lonely and hurt... and you just keep trying...
You live it again, and again...
but in the end, she always dies...
How many times have I watched as you howled her name...
I've seen how hard you've been fighting for her.
You get this look on your face and when you do,
I realize how... how irreplaceable Mayuri is to you.
Nobody's ever... I've never been that person to anybody.
You're so determined...
It made me want to help you...
I couldn't let you face this by yourself.
Okabe... I want you to save her.
Mayuri has to live.
And you're the one who has to make it happen.
How can you say that...?
If I return to that world-line... you will die!
If that's... what it takes... so be it.
There's only one way to make this work.
You know that better than anyone.
So what, then...?! I just abandon you...?
It can't be helped, can it...?
I've been trying since yesterday...
I've wracked my brain...
looking for some magic solution...
something that would save us both.
But there isn't one...
Everything led to the same conclusion...
She continues on the original line... and I end.
Okabe, wait!
You won't die... I'm not going to let you... I refuse!
I can't throw you away ...not even for Mayuri...!
What was the point of this repetitious hell...
if I have to lose someone either way?
Someone I...I...!
No more running...
This is what I want...
Going back won't change that!
Goddamn it!
Time-leaping isn't going to work...!
You'll never get past the 1% barrier!
But how can we know for sure unless we try it?!
All that's gonna happen is that you'll watch Mayuri die again!
Don't go back...
Seeing her die is gonna break you, Okabe!
It won't, though... How could it?
Do you know how many times I've watched her die now?
Dozens. Easily.
Again... and again, and again and again and again...!
No matter how many times I have to watch it
to save you, it's not going to break me--!
Did you hear what you just said to me...?
Our friend... is dying and you don't care...
I know you don't really mean that!
If losing Mayuri doesn't hurt you anymore...
Then... your heart is already broken.
Please, just stop... It's destroying you.
Yeah... you're right.
Has for a while.
What's happening is awful... but I can barely feel it.
I'm numb to it... How did I get here?
I've waited to go back,
all so I could note her precise time of death.
Now, her dying is... nothing more than a puzzle to be solved.
I can always... just give it another go...
Try it again... Ad infinitum...
Please, Okabe... Save her...
If you let her die... you're going to regret it for the rest of your life...!
Losing her for good is going to end you!
You know that I'm right!
Think of all the things you've done to keep her alive!
If you give up now, then what was it for?!
If you let her go... the Okabe that I know is dead.
Dammit...! If I save Mayuri's life... then you--!
I'll just go back...!
To the initial world line where the first D-mail was never sent!
I think that's what's best for you!
What's best for both of us!
We've argued so many times these last twenty days...
Gone at it like cats and dogs, even...
But we've shared our problems, too.
Kurisu's the one I relied on when things got rough.
I came to her with this over and over...
and she always believed in me.
She's a scientific genius. Published at the age of 18...
She can be stubborn as a mule...
And proud... and nosy...
There's a world of ideas dancing in her eyes...
And her theories... god, how they always hold me spellbound.
I remember every word she said...
Every moment... we spent together...
I've called her so many things...
But never the words in my heart.
Kurisu...
I just don't know... how to save you.
I'm sorry...
Thank you...
Nobody's ever... wanted to have me around so much.
Why did that girl turn out to be you...?
Why couldn't it have been somebody else?!
You know... there's a lot about
changing world-lines that we aren't sure of.
Maybe when you...
blip out of existence in this world-line...
you just trade places with their Okabe or something...
You could, for all we know, right...?
It doesn't matter... You'll be gone.
That's what I'm saying... maybe I won't be.
Even if I am dead in the original world-line...
that doesn't necessarily mean I'll be dead here, too!
There are infinite lines...
What if each one has its own me...?
And maybe all of our minds are connected,
forming the Kurisu you know.
That would be... wonderful, wouldn't it?
Getting to be in so many times and places.
Always with a similar quest for truth...
always with a desire to make a difference in the world...
always with the same love for... someone...
Many stars, shining in their own space...
but just one constellation...
That would be a beautiful truth.
Okabe... Please don't think of this as letting me die.
Even if the world-line changes...
and I'm gone... so long as you remember me...
I'll still be right there...
With you.
I couldn't forget you... Not even if I tried.
There's not a person I care for in this whole world...
like I do for you.
Uh... You don't...
I mean it.
What are you trying... to tell me...?!
Kurisu... I love you.
Huh?!
How do you feel about me?
How do I feel?!
I have to know... just for this moment... what I was to you.
You really want to know...?
Yeah.
Don't look, okay?
Close your eyes...
What for?
Just close 'em!
There was... a scientific rationale for that.
Because... certain important memories,
including but not limited to one's first kiss,
are stored in the hippocampus--
which makes 'em harder to forget... So I figured--
There's just one problem.
You're assuming that was my first kiss.
Kissing your pillow doesn't count, virgin!
You would know, wouldn't you...
Nevertheless, I will admit my first kiss
lacked that romantic je ne sais quoi...
Either way... my hippocampus didn't get that one...
Let's try it again.
Huh?
I can't risk forgetting this... Not for anything...
I mean, I guess that's logical... And it's just a kiss.
It feels... like time is passing so quickly...
Damn you, Einstein...
Your science is crowding in on our kiss...
He was right, Okabe...
The passage of time depends entirely on where you're standing...
Relativity Theory...
It's so romantic... but it's just so tragic, too...
This is it.
It's not to late to call the others.
A big goodbye with everyone would hurt too much.
But if it's just you...
then I can't wait to be outta here and back in the U.S.
It's a joke.
I brought you something... A memento.
What the hell...?
Hey, that happens to be version 2.67 you're sneering at.
It's still impractical...
But I suppose it's the thought that counts.
Okay...
Kurisu--?
Oh, yeah.
Got you something. Catch!
You know you throw like a girl.
Go get it, smartass.
Yeah, yeah...
Okabe...
It hurts me to say it... but you're gonna have it rough.
It'll be a world where no one else remembers me...
Only you... And you'll have to shoulder it alone.
You care about people, more than you know...
Losing them gnaws at you.
I'm sorry.
But... knowing you care means so much to me.
Maybe when you're up in the lab...
or drinking your soda... or just walking through town...
Or maybe even during... a kiss...
Not every single time... Just once in a while...
I hope that you'll think of me...
'Cause I'll be right there with you...
Even if we're worlds away...
know that I'm still in your heart.
Okabe... Okabe... Okabe...!
Heads up...! I think I found it!
This is the droid we're looking for, right?!
Looks like someone stabbed Makise Kurisu.
If we erase that line...
Then mission accomplished.
Okarin... You feel okay?
Why wouldn't I?
Finally...! The ultimate moment of Operation Verdandi is nigh!
Victory is ours for the taking!
Despite their vile machinations... we held fast...
we stayed true to our convictions... and persevered!
We have survived the Battle of Ragnarok!
To my comrades-in-arms...
who fought and bled for this victory...
You have my gratitude!
And I promise... I will never... forget you!
What awaits us now... is the future she would have wanted...!
A world not hamstrung by their tyranny!
All of this... will never have happened!
Kurisu...
Forgive me...
Okabe!
You wanna know... how I feel...?
Kurisu!
Okabe...! You should know by now that I'm in l--
Mayuri...
Who is lab member zero-zero-four?
Zero-zero-four...? Hmmm...
Oh! A trick question. There isn't one.
Behold...! The way is clear! We're free...!
I, the mad scientist Hououin Kyouma,
have triumphed over a two-fold assault by SERN
and the Organization by twisting the very fundamentals
of time and space!
The world as we know it has been put to rights...
and a future of chaos awaits us...!
This, my friends... is the choice of Stein's Gate!
It's okay... Just be yourself.
Whaddya mean...?! This is me!
How else should I deliver a victory speech?!
You don't have to pretend to be Hououin Kyouma for me.
The bad stuff isn't gonna happen to me now.
I can tell... you can cry now if you want...
Go ahead.
We took apart the Phone Wave.
If we hadn't built it... I'd never have met her.
But... it came at too high of a price...
Too many people had to suffer...
Hououin Kyouma's consigned to the past.
As are the tools of his mania.
Life isn't about do-overs...
For good or ill, you get one chance.
This is for the best... Isn't it... Kurisu?
Hello?
Huh...? Wait, who is this...?
I'm your what now...?!
Okarin, huh? Yeah--lemme get 'em.
Hey, Okarin! Phone! It's some crazy chick!
Go ahead.
Please, get to the roof of the Radio Building A-SAP!
Huh? Who is this?!
Listen! I came here from 2036!
I'm Hashida Itaru's daughter, Amane Suzuha!
Suzuha?! But--! What are you doing here...?!
How is SERN still a threat in your timeline?!
I'll explain when you get here, but you have to hurry!
I need you to prevent World War III!
