[00:15] ---
    Amadeus and Salieri...
[00:18] ---
    Kurisu and me...
[00:20] ---
    One was gifted with
    natural talent, Amadeus Mozart.
[00:25] ---
    The other viewed him as
    a lifelong rival, Antonio Salieri.
[00:31] ---
    K331.
[00:34] ---
    Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11
    in A Major, first movement.
[00:39] ---
    You like Mozart's music?
[00:41] ---
    I dabble in it sometimes.
[00:43] ---
    I like the quote "Death means not
    getting to listen to Mozart anymore."
[00:48] ---
    I've never heard of that one.
[00:50] ---
    Strictly speaking, there's no record
    that Einstein ever said those words.
[00:56] ---
    You see, I think it's a very logical statement.
[00:59] ---
    Logical?
[01:00] ---
    After all, you can't listen
    to Mozart if you're dead.
[01:04] ---
    Isn't that much obvious?
[01:06] ---
    Yes, it is obvious.
[01:08] ---
    If you die, you can't listen.
    The statement is true.
[01:13] ---
    See? Logical, right?
[01:18] ---
    July 28, 2010...
[01:21] ---
    Makise Kurisu left this world.
[01:26] ---
    Amadeus and Salieri...
[01:28] ---
    Those two hold a very special meaning to me.
[01:37] ---
    I loved Kurisu...
[01:44] ---
    I respected Kurisu...
[01:47] ---
    I aspired to be like Kurisu...
[01:52] ---
    "Radio Building Akihabara"
[01:53] ---
    I...
[02:11] ---
    This world is not even real at all
[02:17] ---
    It's just a vision pulled over our eyes
[02:24] ---
    At the point of infinity, a mundane cosmos
    is overwriting all the values I know
[02:34] ---
    If some arrogant god thinks they've seized control
    and keeps pulling strings at the speed of light
[02:44] ---
    Then I, just I alone
[02:50] ---
    I'm fine being that miracle,
    that lethal minority
[02:56] ---
    I can fly high
[02:57] ---
    If that moment, if that place was
    something you thought was special to you
[03:03] ---
    The past doesn't have to be
    memories that simply drift away
[03:08] ---
    Instead of the pain of being hurt,
    everything about that precious scene will
[03:14] ---
    Become a light and give birth to zero
[03:19] ---
    There is no god. Wonderful new world.
[03:25] ---
    "Tokyo Denki University"
[03:30] ---
    Hmm?
[03:31] ---
    Global Brain Science
    Organization Office Prep Room.
[03:34] ---
    A fundraising plea by Leskinen.
[03:37] ---
    If everyone who read this donated
    just one dollar, I could eat a can of oden.
[03:42] ---
    "Oden"
[03:43] ---
    The Professor never
    gets tired of joking around...
[03:48] ---
    Yo, Maho! Welcome to
    our powered-up prep room!
[03:52] ---
    By that you mean the table and couch?
[03:55] ---
    Yes! It is said, "Keeping it simple is the
    secret on the long journey towards truth."
[04:01] ---
    And whose quote is that?
[04:03] ---
    That would be mine.
[04:07] ---
    So? How's Amadeus?
[04:09] ---
    I just finished running the final checks.
[04:11] ---
    We should be able to launch without issue.
[04:14] ---
    Should I start it?
[04:15] ---
    Of course!
[04:24] ---
    Long time no see, Senpai.
[04:26] ---
    Well? No problems so far?
[04:29] ---
    Nope. Not as far as I'm aware, at the least.
[04:33] ---
    All right. I'll let Okabe-san know we're good.
[04:37] ---
    Okay. Though even if you say I'm restored,
    I'm not sure he'll want to talk to me...
[04:42] ---
    You think?
[04:44] ---
    I'm sure he enjoys talking
    to you a whole lot more.
[04:47] ---
    You seem to like it too.
[04:51] ---
    Would you stop saying stuff like that?
    I'm telling you, it's not true!
[04:55] ---
    After lengthy observation and analysis,
    I'm certain that I'm correct.
[05:00] ---
    How so? You're just letting delusions
    of love run amok in your head.
[05:10] ---
    I sure missed you two going at it.
[05:13] ---
    Well, shall we get our meeting started?
[05:16] ---
    "Pandora of Provable Existence -Forbidden Cubicle-"
[05:16] ---
    Sure!
[05:22] ---
    What the hell is this?
[05:32] ---
    This room's unbelievable!
[05:35] ---
    Oh, Okabe-san? You're here early.
[05:41] ---
    "Why are you here?"
    "Sheesh! I told you once already ><"
    "I was asked to be Dr. Hiyajo's bodyguard~"
[05:47] ---
    Where the hell did the room go?
[05:50] ---
    It's worse than it was a few days ago.
[05:52] ---
    The lapse of time changes
    both people and things.
[05:55] ---
    What do you think? Functional, right?
[05:58] ---
    I could go exploring in here!
[06:01] ---
    Anyways, Amadeus is all restored now.
[06:05] ---
    Is it?
[06:06] ---
    What will it be? If you want to
    keep testing, I can reset it for you.
[06:19] ---
    Yeah, please.
[06:20] ---
    Are you sure? Really?
[06:22] ---
    A lot has happened since then...
[06:25] ---
    I've been thinking...
[06:28] ---
    It's about time I moved forward.
[06:32] ---
    I wonder why Faris told me to bring
    Mayuri along when I came?
[06:38] ---
    Because Mayushii has a brilliant mind!
[06:41] ---
    I think I get Faris-chan!
    She must've wanted this room to be cleaned!
[06:46] ---
    And if you're here, it'll get cleaned?
[06:49] ---
    More like, if Mayushii comes over,
    she'll think to bring that person along!
[06:54] ---
    That person?
[06:56] ---
    Sergeant Clean!
[07:02] ---
    I will be your drill instructor!
    Refer to me as Sergeant Clean!
[07:09] ---
    You mean Nae, right?
[07:13] ---
    Listen up! Until this room is clean,
    you are nothing more than inchworms!
[07:18] ---
    All you're good for is squirming
    around on top of leaves!
[07:21] ---
    You're the lowest life form on Earth!
[07:24] ---
    Do you understand?!
[07:27] ---
    What the hell is this?
[07:29] ---
    When it comes to cleaning,
    Nae-chan's personality changes a little.
[07:34] ---
    That's putting it lightly...
[07:35] ---
    But when cleaning's over, maybe she'll
    open up and act all mushy and sweet!
[07:40] ---
    Why the hell are you here?
[07:42] ---
    Who was that?! Which of you
    said something creepy?!
[07:46] ---
    I-It was me!
[07:48] ---
    What are you smirking for?!
[07:50] ---
    Listen up! From now on, you're Mr. Smileybear!
[07:54] ---
    Got it, Mr. Smileybear?!
[07:56] ---
    Y-Yes, ma'am! Miss Nae!
[07:58] ---
    That's more like it, Mr. Smileybear.
[08:00] ---
    Now go sweep up and down
    the hall 10 times in 30 seconds!
[08:03] ---
    Miss Nae! Yes, ma'am! Miss Nae!
[08:08] ---
    He's enjoying every second of this...
[08:10] ---
    What exactly are we doing here?
[08:13] ---
    Until we're done, Hiyajo-san
    and Kiryu-san are supposed to leave.
[08:17] ---
    Eh?
[08:18] ---
    No one told me.
[08:20] ---
    Orders from the homeowner. Can't refuse.
[08:24] ---
    --Not nearly good enough, Mr. Smileybear!
[08:25] ---
    --Well? Did you figure out anything new?
    --Not nearly good enough, Mr. Smileybear!
[08:27] ---
    --Well? Did you figure out anything new?
    --It's not?
[08:28] ---
    No progress, sadly.
[08:30] ---
    I've got a guess about the culprits,
    but no way to know for sure.
[08:34] ---
    Can't let it end up like SERN...
[08:37] ---
    SERN?
[08:37] ---
    Uh, that's... Forget it...
[08:40] ---
    Still, I find it hard to believe.
[08:43] ---
    I never imagined Kurisu
    was researching time machines...
[08:46] ---
    It's the truth.
[08:47] ---
    I didn't say you were lying.
[08:50] ---
    On one hand it seems crazy,
    but nothing from her surprises me.
[08:56] ---
    Salieri?
[08:57] ---
    It's my user name at university.
    Didn't I tell you?
[09:01] ---
    Yeah... Does it have some special meaning?
[09:04] ---
    Not really...
[09:05] ---
    I see...
[09:08] ---
    Antonio Salieri.
[09:11] ---
    The man whose life was thrown into chaos
    by Amadeus Mozart... Do you know him?
[09:16] ---
    Like the movie, right? I've heard of it.
[09:20] ---
    Salieri had a promising future as a musician,
[09:24] ---
    but he grew envious of Mozart's talents
    and was driven into despair.
[09:28] ---
    In the end, the hounding and
    pressure from Salieri led to his demise.
[09:35] ---
    Hiyajo-san...
[09:37] ---
    Don't worry. I don't believe
    that's the case myself, but...
[09:48] ---
    Okabe-san?
[09:50] ---
    It's been a while.
[09:52] ---
    You haven't changed a bit.
[09:54] ---
    Same goes for you.
[09:55] ---
    Of course not. I'm AI.
[09:58] ---
    "Subject: Regarding Laptop"
[09:59] ---
    "Subject: Regarding Laptop"
    "Retrieving from locker tonight."
    "Will contact again once analysis is complete."
[10:04] ---
    I don't know... It just doesn't feel right.
[10:09] ---
    I'll have to fix it to my liking later.
[10:12] ---
    The others will kill you
    if they hear you say that.
[10:15] ---
    Okarin! Sorry to keep you!
[10:18] ---
    She fell asleep, huh?
[10:20] ---
    Yup! Being Sergeant Clean
    must take it all out of her.
[10:24] ---
    Want me to carry her?
[10:26] ---
    Sure, if you want to eat a full-powered
    straight right from Mr. Tennoji.
[10:30] ---
    Full-powered straight right! Huff huff...
[10:34] ---
    All that drill training
    must've scrambled his head...
[10:38] ---
    So... If you can't find something
    you need, let me know!
[10:42] ---
    All right. Where are Faris-san and Kiryu-san?
[10:45] ---
    They said they'll be right back.
[10:49] ---
    Kyouma!
[10:51] ---
    I said don't call me that.
[10:53] ---
    We're back.
[10:54] ---
    Yeah... What's with the bag?
[10:56] ---
    She said she wanted to shop.
[11:00] ---
    Sorry, but tonight is no boys allowed!
    Not even Kyouma, meow!
[11:04] ---
    No boys allowed?
[11:06] ---
    Yup, meow! The operation
    in store for tonight is...
[11:10] ---
    Meow!
[11:11] ---
    The All-Night Cinderella Girls Secret Party!
[11:14] ---
    So sleepy someone slips secrets, meow!
[11:21] ---
    What's wrong, you two?
    Where's your excitement, meow?
[11:26] ---
    Come on! I even picked out some pricey
    ice cream and cake for us, meow!
[11:30] ---
    Well, all right...
[11:33] ---
    The thing about Maho-meow is,
[11:35] ---
    she's cute like a doll so
    everything looks good on her, meow.
[11:39] ---
    Quit calling me that.
[11:42] ---
    Huh?
[11:43] ---
    Kiryu-san?
[11:44] ---
    Moe-meow finally laughed, meow!
[11:45] ---
    S-Stop it...
[11:48] ---
    Wh-What incredible boobs, meow!
[11:50] ---
    These are just begging to be tickled, meow!
[11:54] ---
    Stop it!
[11:56] ---
    Uh-oh! This is making me feel naughty, meow!
[11:58] ---
    --N-No, stop! Ah! S-Stop!
    --I think she likes it!
[12:04] ---
    I'm getting some juice, meow.
[12:09] ---
    What the heck...
[12:15] ---
    What are you writing?
[12:17] ---
    A memo... for my novel.
[12:19] ---
    A novel? You're writing one?
[12:21] ---
    Mmm, because I'm not special in any way.
[12:26] ---
    Practically anyone can take my place.
[12:29] ---
    What are you talking about?
    You are you. Nobody can replace you.
[12:34] ---
    But...
[12:35] ---
    You can't be replaced,
    so don't belittle yourself.
[12:37] ---
    If you compare yourself to others and
    live your whole life feeling inferior, that's so...
[12:47] ---
    Never mind...
[12:56] ---
    I think she likes it, meow...
[12:58] ---
    S-Stop...
[13:03] ---
    A lot has happened since then...
[13:07] ---
    It's about time I moved forward.
[13:11] ---
    Why are you so...
[13:23] ---
    This circuit board pattern is
    so pretty, it's like a work of art!
[13:28] ---
    Is this an IFX008 image sensor?!
[13:31] ---
    What's it doing here?!
[13:33] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[13:34] ---
    Who knew Akihabara had places like this?!
[13:37] ---
    This is the true Maho-senpai.
[13:40] ---
    Who would've thought
    she's so obsessed with parts?
[13:43] ---
    I love putting things together.
[13:45] ---
    When I was little, I made
    Japanese plastic models all the time.
[13:49] ---
    Did you build a germanium radio?
[13:52] ---
    Burned myself soldering one a good bit.
[13:54] ---
    It happens to everyone!
[13:56] ---
    I know!
[13:58] ---
    Uh, I think it's only you two...
[14:03] ---
    Why did I not come here sooner?
[14:06] ---
    You should've said it was like this!
[14:08] ---
    I had no idea you'd like it this much.
[14:11] ---
    Are there any more places like that one?
[14:13] ---
    There used to be stores like
    that all over the place, but lately...
[14:17] ---
    More importantly, didn't you want to talk?
[14:20] ---
    It can wait.
[14:22] ---
    You're not busy, right?
    Let's hang out some more.
[14:25] ---
    Well, that's fine with me, but...
[14:32] ---
    Oh!
[14:33] ---
    Check it out!
[14:35] ---
    Hmm?
[14:36] ---
    An @channel character?
[14:38] ---
    @channel?
[14:41] ---
    Guess what? Kurisu had one
    of these characters in her bedroom!
[14:45] ---
    Kurisu did? She had one sent to America?
[14:50] ---
    Senpai! Say no more!
[14:51] ---
    That's a closet @channeler for you...
[14:54] ---
    Wh-What are you talking about?
    What's an @channeler?
[14:58] ---
    Never gonna...
[14:59] ---
    ...give you up.
[15:02] ---
    Okabe!
[15:04] ---
    You deserved it.
[15:06] ---
    Care if I give it a shot?
[15:09] ---
    Um... I've just gotta use this arm
    and drop it over the hole, right?
[15:14] ---
    Here goes nothing...
[15:19] ---
    Argh! Why?! Why is it
    breaking the laws of physics?!
[15:23] ---
    Otherwise they wouldn't profit from it.
[15:26] ---
    But I'm pretty sure I loosened it up!
[15:28] ---
    Next time I'll get it for sure!
    I'm grabbing some change!
[15:31] ---
    She's totally suckered in...
[15:34] ---
    This is no time to be saying that!
[15:36] ---
    Huh?
[15:37] ---
    This is where you prove
    you're a man, Okabe-san!
[15:40] ---
    M-Me?!
[15:43] ---
    Good! With this much I should be able...
[15:45] ---
    Huh?
[15:47] ---
    An employee came by and loosened it a bit.
[15:50] ---
    You can have it.
[15:52] ---
    Are you sure?
[15:53] ---
    There's no point in me keeping it.
[15:55] ---
    Then, in that case...
[16:01] ---
    You wanted it that badly?
[16:04] ---
    After Kurisu passed away...
[16:06] ---
    Her mother knew Kurisu liked it so much,
    so she put it in her room as a decoration.
[16:13] ---
    But it was burned in the fire, so...
[16:15] ---
    I had no idea...
[16:17] ---
    That's why I want to give this
    to Kurisu's mother as a present.
[16:22] ---
    Is that okay?
[16:23] ---
    Of course. That'd be nice...
[16:27] ---
    Uh, wanna go inside?
    There's racing games too!
[16:37] ---
    I had no idea we were there so long.
[16:39] ---
    Man, I had no idea you were
    such a pro at racing games.
[16:44] ---
    I might've got a bit carried away...
[16:48] ---
    What should we do next?
    Grab a bite or something?
[16:52] ---
    No... It's already getting pretty late.
[16:58] ---
    But there's somewhere I have to visit
    before I go back to America...
[17:04] ---
    "Radio Building Akihabara"
[17:05] ---
    This place, huh?
[17:07] ---
    Yeah... The place where
    Makise Kurisu lost her life.
[17:11] ---
    The last place she was...
[17:14] ---
    If you don't want to, just tell me where.
[17:16] ---
    I can go in alone.
[17:20] ---
    No...
[17:22] ---
    It's so quiet in here.
[17:25] ---
    Most of the shops have moved already,
    since it's going to be rebuilt.
[17:28] ---
    It's not really used much anymore.
[17:55] ---
    This way.
[18:03] ---
    Right in here.
[18:04] ---
    I see... So it was right here...
[18:19] ---
    Kurisu...
[18:22] ---
    I'm not a physicist or anything,
[18:24] ---
    so I don't know the details
    of the theory of relativity, but...
[18:29] ---
    If space and time are unified,
[18:32] ---
    why can we move around in space,
    but not move freely through time?
[18:39] ---
    Right now, I stand in the same
    spatial axis where Kurisu died.
[18:44] ---
    And yet, just because the time axis is
    a little off, I can't stop it from happening.
[18:50] ---
    You can't stop it.
[18:52] ---
    Eh?
[18:53] ---
    Even if you returned to the same time axis...
[18:56] ---
    ...you can't change anything.
[18:58] ---
    What makes you so sure?
[19:00] ---
    I discussed it with Kurisu.
[19:03] ---
    I see...
[19:04] ---
    With Kurisu...
[19:09] ---
    Okabe-san?
[19:10] ---
    Okabe-san!
[19:15] ---
    Okabe-san?
[19:18] ---
    Sorry...
[19:19] ---
    I'm sorry. It's my fault for lacking delicacy.
[19:24] ---
    You cared for Kurisu so much that...
[19:26] ---
    No, don't worry about it.
[19:29] ---
    Hey... Did you really just
    meet her at a seminar?
[19:35] ---
    It doesn't seem that way at all.
[19:37] ---
    From time to time,
    I wonder how long it could've been.
[19:42] ---
    One month? Two months? No...
    You talk like you knew her well beyond that.
[19:48] ---
    That's...
[19:50] ---
    How do you know so much about Kurisu?
[19:53] ---
    I...
[19:54] ---
    Because I... Kurisu...
[20:01] ---
    I'm sorry.
[20:03] ---
    I understand.
[20:05] ---
    I can tell something went on
    you don't want to talk about.
[20:08] ---
    That's enough for me.
[20:10] ---
    Hiyajo-san...
[20:16] ---
    Every time I see you,
    I think the same thing...
[20:20] ---
    Why do you always look so sad?
[20:24] ---
    It's the same thing
    when you talk about Kurisu.
[20:27] ---
    It's the same when you talk with everyone.
[20:29] ---
    As if you're regretting some choice...
    As if struggling alone against something...
[20:35] ---
    And then there's Mayuri and me...
[20:37] ---
    It's like you're trying
    to protect us from something.
[20:40] ---
    And the thing is, we were really attacked...
[20:43] ---
    Is that what it seems like to you?
[20:46] ---
    Yeah...
[20:48] ---
    I'm not going to ask you
    to tell me everything, but...
[20:52] ---
    I want to support and
    empower that feeling of yours, so...
[20:57] ---
    So?
[20:58] ---
    I promised myself
    I wouldn't tell anybody, but I will.
[21:02] ---
    I...
[21:06] ---
    I actually have it.
[21:08] ---
    Kurisu's...
[21:10] ---
    Makise Kurisu's legacy.
[21:12] ---
    Kurisu's... legacy?
[21:15] ---
    Yes...
[21:17] ---
    Her notebook computer.
[21:20] ---
    With all her research data...
[21:22] ---
    With her theories... with her private data too.
[21:27] ---
    Her own computer.
[21:29] ---
    The thief that broke into
    my hotel must've been after that.
[21:33] ---
    Where is it?
[21:35] ---
    I can't figure out her password,
    so I'm having a trustworthy source analyze it.
[21:40] ---
    You can't!
[21:42] ---
    That computer is Pandora's Box!
    It mustn't be opened!
[21:45] ---
    The data inside is a curse that leads
    to the destruction of the world!
[21:50] ---
    What do you mean?
[21:51] ---
    I told you already!
[21:52] ---
    The race for a time machine is what
    makes Russia and America fight one another!
[21:56] ---
    Both countries are after the data and will
    do whatever it takes to get their hands on it!
[22:02] ---
    It's the spark that ignites World War III!
[22:06] ---
    World War III?!
[22:10] ---
    Come to me
[22:13] ---
    Embrace my tears
[22:16] ---
    Let me guide you down into my soul
[22:22] ---
    And let us pray for the world to realize
[22:29] ---
    There is peace, the truth within us
[22:35] ---
    Emptiness erodes your heart
[22:41] ---
    Coz you're free from pain and sorrow
[22:48] ---
    Future is just too bright to show you ways
[22:54] ---
    Wake up now...it's time to lead new souls
[23:01] ---
    Orbit of photon and universe
[23:08] ---
    I am just the part of its plan
[23:14] ---
    The eye cannot see the warped sky
[23:20] ---
    Where do the people think they are walking
[23:29] ---
    The last game
