    Kagari-chan?
[00:12] ---
    Kagari-chan!
[00:18] ---
    Mommy?
[00:19] ---
    How are you feeling?
[00:24] ---
    Is my treatment for today all done?
[00:27] ---
    Yup! You did great today!
[00:30] ---
    Such a good girl!
[00:32] ---
    And for the good girl Kagari-chan,
    I have some special news!
[00:37] ---
    News?
[00:39] ---
    Yup!
[00:40] ---
    All of the paperwork is finally out of the way.
[00:43] ---
    I'm sorry that it took so long,
    but starting today...
[00:47] ---
    ...I get to be your real mommy!
[00:50] ---
    We can live together now!
[00:57] ---
    Mommy!
[00:59] ---
    Sheesh! You're such a spoiled one, Kagari-chan!

    What song is that?
[01:17] ---
    Hmm?
[01:19] ---
    I'm glad you asked.
    It's a very precious song to me.
[01:23] ---
    Precious?
[01:24] ---
    That's right!
[01:26] ---
    It's all thanks to this song that Mommy
    and Kagari-chan were able to meet.
[01:30] ---
    Really?
[01:31] ---
    Yup! That's why you should give it
    your best and try to memorize it too!
[01:36] ---
    Because someday, you'll meet
    somebody precious to you too.
[01:41] ---
    I want to learn that song too!
    Teach me Mommy's precious song!
[01:46] ---
    Okay! Should we sing it together?

    Yeah!

[02:40] ---
    This world is not even real at all
[02:46] ---
    It's just a vision pulled over our eyes
[02:53] ---
    At the point of infinity, a mundane cosmos
    is overwriting all the values I know
[03:03] ---
    If some arrogant god thinks they've seized control
    and keeps pulling strings at the speed of light
[03:13] ---
    Then I, just I alone
[03:19] ---
    I'm fine being that miracle,
    that lethal minority
[03:25] ---
    I can fly high
[03:26] ---
    If that moment, if that place was
    something you thought was special to you
[03:32] ---
    The past doesn't have to be
    memories that simply drift away
[03:37] ---
    Instead of the pain of being hurt,
    everything about that precious scene will
[03:43] ---
    Become a light and give birth to zero
[03:48] ---
    There is no god. Wonderful new world.
[03:58] ---
    Okabe-kun!
[04:00] ---
    Professor Izaki?
[04:01] ---
    I must say, that report of yours
    was pretty darn impressive!
[04:05] ---
    Th-Thank you.
[04:07] ---
    Weren't you thinking about studying abroad?
[04:10] ---
    Y-Yeah, tentatively...
[04:13] ---
    To be honest, you had me worried,
[04:15] ---
    but based on your work as of late,
    you might just pull it off.
[04:20] ---
    Keep it the good work.
[04:22] ---
    I-I will! Thank you!
[04:27] ---
    Hey, Kagari-san? Want some
    Juicy #1 Chicken Tenders?
[04:31] ---
    --It's Mayushii's favorite food ever!
    --Oh!
[04:34] ---
    --You don't mind?
    --Hmm...
[04:35] ---
    --Nope! They're super tasty,
    so I wanted you to try some too!
    --Hmm, hmm...
[04:40] ---
    Thank you. I think I will.
[04:44] ---
    You're very welcome!
[04:47] ---
    Want some, Daru?

    Sure, I'll eat some.

[05:11] ---
    Kagari-san?
[05:12] ---
    Eh?
[05:14] ---
    Long ago... Somewhere...
[05:18] ---
    Somewhere...
[05:19] ---
    Kagari-san?
[05:22] ---
    Eh? Whoa!
[05:23] ---
    Kagari-san! Hang in there!
[05:26] ---
    Kagari-san!
[05:34] ---
    Mayuri! How's Kagari?!
[05:35] ---
    Okarin!
[05:38] ---
    You said she collapsed again?
[05:40] ---
    Right now, she's sleeping.
[05:42] ---
    Suzuha...
[05:44] ---
    Can I have a word?
[05:50] ---
    It's been a while.
[05:52] ---
    Yeah...
[05:55] ---
    Just so you know, I'm...
[05:57] ---
    ...not aiming to reach Steins Gate.
[06:00] ---
    Eh?
[06:00] ---
    I can tell without you saying.
[06:04] ---
    Sorry.
[06:09] ---
    I wonder if they'll ever come back?
[06:11] ---
    Huh?
[06:12] ---
    Kagari's memories.
[06:14] ---
    Right...
[06:16] ---
    But the girl's a war orphan.
[06:19] ---
    Never knew her parents' faces...
[06:21] ---
    Had nothing but painful memories, I'm sure.
[06:24] ---
    But, her meeting Big Sis Mayu
    changed her life forever.
[06:30] ---
    Because of Big Sis Mayu,
    she finally learned how to smile.
[06:36] ---
    When she ran away from me...
[06:39] ---
    ...she pointed a gun at me.
[06:43] ---
    Saying if the world line changed,
    she couldn't meet Mommy anymore.
[06:47] ---
    She was just 10 years old...
[06:50] ---
    She might get her memories back,
    or she might not.
[06:54] ---
    But for her, I wonder which
    is the happier outcome?
[06:59] ---
    If her memory does come back,
[07:00] ---
    she might remember something about the
    people who attacked her, so there's always that.
[07:06] ---
    Either way, I plan to do all that
    I can do, and that hasn't changed.
[07:15] ---
    Take care of Kagari, all right?

    Yeah...
[07:48] ---
    Mayuri left just a bit ago.
[07:50] ---
    Guess they didn't have enough people
    to cover the lunchtime rush.
[07:55] ---
    Mayushii was worried sick about you.
[07:58] ---
    I see...
[08:04] ---
    Feel a little better now?
[08:07] ---
    I heard a song.
[08:10] ---
    And then, my head just...
[08:12] ---
    A song?
[08:14] ---
    You've heard that song before?
[08:16] ---
    Yes.
[08:17] ---
    It's not one you heard lately?
[08:20] ---
    It's not, I don't think.
[08:22] ---
    A song...
[08:23] ---
    What do you think, Okarin?
[08:29] ---
    You never know. It might be a hint that
    leads to getting your memories back.
[08:34] ---
    Really?
[08:35] ---
    If it's not too hard on you,
    it's something we could look into.
[08:39] ---
    Oh, it's fine with me.
[08:41] ---
    I'm okay now.
[08:45] ---
    Hey, how was your checkup?
[08:47] ---
    I'm as healthy as I've always been.
[08:49] ---
    It's been half a month, for crying out loud!
[08:52] ---
    Okarin-san doesn't have to keep
    going in for checkups, so why do I?!
[08:59] ---
    You should be happy to have no problems.
[09:01] ---
    But I do have problems!
[09:04] ---
    I put on fat during my hospital stay
    and it just won't come off!
[09:09] ---
    Hey, what do you say we hit up some karaoke?
[09:12] ---
    Uh, sorry but...
[09:14] ---
    I kinda have plans after this.
[09:17] ---
    Ah, shoot! I need to hurry!
[09:19] ---
    We'll do karaoke another time.
[09:27] ---
    Yuki-san, in front of--
[09:29] ---
    Ouch!
[09:33] ---
    Jeez, I can't believe how clumsy she is!
[09:35] ---
    For real.
[09:38] ---
    Kagari-san! Are you better now?!
[09:41] ---
    Yes, I'm sorry to have worried you.
[09:44] ---
    No, Mayushii is sorry for not
    being able to stay at your side!
[09:51] ---
    A song?
[09:52] ---
    Yes, it's that song you were singing earlier.
[09:55] ---
    I feel like I've heard it somewhere.
[09:58] ---
    Do you remember where you learned it from?
[10:01] ---
    It's possible that song is a hint
    to get Kagari's memories back.
[10:06] ---
    Um, let's see...
[10:07] ---
    Mayushii first heard that song from Suzu-san!
[10:11] ---
    From Suzuha?
[10:12] ---
    Yup! I sometimes hear Suzu-san singing
    that song while looking out the window.
[10:18] ---
    So unfortunately, Mayushii doesn't
    know the name of the song.
[10:24] ---
    Maybe it's a song that's popular in the future?
[10:27] ---
    Sorry I couldn't be of any help.
[10:30] ---
    No, thank you for telling us.
[10:33] ---
    Hey, Okarin? Are you planning to visit Suzu-san?
[10:36] ---
    Hmm? Yeah, to check with her.
[10:39] ---
    Can Mayushii come too?
[10:41] ---
    Really? Are you sure?
[10:43] ---
    You see, it's hard to explain, but...
[10:47] ---
    When I look at Kagari-san,
    Mayushii just wants to do everything I can to help!
[10:52] ---
    So, please?
[10:54] ---
    Mayuri-san...
[10:56] ---
    What about work?
[10:57] ---
    The peak has passed, so it's fine, meow!
[11:01] ---
    Anyways, I'll give Suzuha a ring.
[11:09] ---
    She might be working.
[11:11] ---
    If that was the case,
    she should be on lunch break.
[11:14] ---
    I passed Suzu-meow outside a bit ago.
[11:17] ---
    Really?
[11:21] ---
    Hmm? Suzu-meow?
[11:23] ---
    Big Sis Rumi?
[11:24] ---
    What's with the scary-looking face?
[11:29] ---
    Well, it's...
[11:31] ---
    I'm about to head into battle.
[11:34] ---
    Battle?
[11:35] ---
    That's what she said, meow.
[11:39] ---
    Don't tell me...
[11:42] ---
    "Recruiting Warriors!" "Monster Plate!!"
[11:43] ---
    "Eating Contest!!"
[11:50] ---
    "GoGo Curry"
[11:51] ---
    Incredible... Can you believe it?
[12:08] ---
    This month's eating contest winner is...
[12:12] ---
    Our first three-time winner,
    The Silent Slaughterer!
[12:17] ---
    And I'm not even stuffed yet.
[12:19] ---
    Huh?
[12:22] ---
    Eat what you can when you can.
[12:24] ---
    It's an important rule to live by
    for survival on the battlefield.
[12:27] ---
    You had me worried there.
[12:32] ---
    Aw, man...
[12:33] ---
    Can't believe you heard me singing.
[12:35] ---
    It's very cute of you!
[12:38] ---
    Please spare me, Big Sis Mayu.
[12:40] ---
    Do you remember where
    you heard that song, Suzuha?
[12:44] ---
    Mo--
[12:45] ---
    I mean, Yuki-san was singing it.
[12:48] ---
    Yuki-san was?
[12:54] ---
    If you heard it from Yuki-san,
    you mean in the future?
[12:57] ---
    Yeah... Mom was always singing
    when she cooked our meals.
[13:01] ---
    So, it's possible that Kagari learned
    it from you or Yuki-san too?
[13:06] ---
    Not possible.
[13:08] ---
    Kagari was adopted by
    Big Sis Mayu only after Mom died.
[13:13] ---
    I never sang in front of Kagari either.
[13:18] ---
    Kagari from Mayuri... Mayuri from Suzuha...
    Suzuha learned it from Yuki...
[13:25] ---
    This is just like the telephone game...
[13:29] ---
    No good?
[13:30] ---
    Yeah, maybe Yuki-san is working.
[13:33] ---
    Oh well. We'll just have
    to wait until she calls back.
[13:36] ---
    Um, Okabe-san?
[13:38] ---
    --Over there...
    --Hmm?
[13:41] ---
    Hey, it's Yuki-san!
[13:43] ---
    Wait... She's together with... Daru?!
[13:46] ---
    Ooh!
[13:50] ---
    There's some sauce on the side of your mouth.
[13:53] ---
    Eh?
[13:54] ---
    I-I'll wipe it myself!
[13:56] ---
    D-Don't try cleaning my disgusting face
    or it'll ruin your handkerchief!
[13:57] ---
    I got it. Hold still, okay?
[14:02] ---
    It's not disgusting at all.
[14:08] ---
    Hey, hey! Are they on a date?!
[14:10] ---
    It's a date!
[14:12] ---
    So those two are seeing each other?
[14:14] ---
    That rascal, saying he had somewhere to be...
[14:18] ---
    What to do, Okarin?
[14:19] ---
    Well, we can't get in their way.
[14:21] ---
    We'll ask later. Is that okay, Kagari?
[14:24] ---
    Yes, though...
[14:27] ---
    Hmm?
[14:31] ---
    Ah...
[14:33] ---
    We're sorry for intruding...
[14:35] ---
    Don't be. Like they say, the more the merrier.
[14:39] ---
    Right?
[14:41] ---
    Yeah, sure...
[14:43] ---
    So, about that song...
[14:45] ---
    Well you see, I sometimes help out
    teaching at a baking class.
[14:50] ---
    Hmm?
[14:51] ---
    Yuki-san makes the most
    delicious sweets you'll ever have!
[14:54] ---
    Yeah?
[14:55] ---
    Should we make some together next time?
[14:58] ---
    Yes, of course!
[15:00] ---
    H-Hold on.
[15:01] ---
    What does that have to do with the song?
[15:04] ---
    One of the students that comes
    to our class is always singing it.
[15:08] ---
    They sing that song?
[15:10] ---
    Yeah.
[15:11] ---
    Before long, it got stuck in my head.
[15:14] ---
    And that person who
    sang it is someone we know?
[15:17] ---
    I'm not so sure. I'd say they're
    some 20 years older than us.
[15:21] ---
    Not seeming very likely then.
[15:26] ---
    That's right. I thought
    it'd be easier just to ask.
[15:30] ---
    Sure, I'll put him on.
[15:32] ---
    Eh?
[15:35] ---
    Hello?
[15:36] ---
    Uh, sorry about this.
[15:38] ---
    This is Okabe, a friend of Amane-san's.
[15:40] ---
    Okabe?
[15:41] ---
    Right. To be honest,
    I just wanted to ask about that song.
[15:46] ---
    That voice... Is that you, Rintaro?
[15:49] ---
    --Huh?
    --It's me! Me!
[15:52] ---
    That voice! It can't be!
[15:54] ---
    Excuse me? Don't tell me you forgot
    the beautiful voice of your own mother.
[15:59] ---
    I can't believe the lady turned
    out to be your mother...
[16:04] ---
    In class, we all just use
    everyone's first names.
[16:07] ---
    Well? What did your mother have to say?
[16:10] ---
    That's...
[16:11] ---
    "Okabe Green Grocer"
[16:11] ---
    From you!
[16:13] ---
    Eh?
[16:13] ---
    I'm telling you, you're the one who sang it!
[16:16] ---
    I-I did?!
[16:18] ---
    What are you talking about?
    I don't even know the song!
[16:21] ---
    Remember? Back when you were in middle school
    and Mayuri-chan was down in the dumps?
[16:27] ---
    It was around the time
    you started acting all weird.
[16:30] ---
    Uh, what was it again?
[16:33] ---
    I'm a macho psychologist!
[16:37] ---
    Stop it.
[16:38] ---
    Anyways, that's what you used
    to sing all the time in the bath.
[16:42] ---
    I did?
[16:43] ---
    "Akemi"
[16:44] ---
    That's right! And because of you,
    I can't forget it!
[16:47] ---
    Um, what exactly does this mean?
[16:51] ---
    I don't know.
[16:52] ---
    I can't recall ever singing
    that song in the first place.
[16:56] ---
    Have you heard him sing it, Mayuri-san?
[16:58] ---
    Mayushii doesn't remember that either.
[17:02] ---
    We're all stuck in the same spot as Kagari now.
[17:06] ---
    Um, did I hear that right about
    Mayuri-san being down in the dumps?
[17:12] ---
    Well, stuff happened.
[17:14] ---
    Hey, Okarin. Do you think we should go?
[17:18] ---
    Go? You mean there?
[17:20] ---
    Yeah. You never know!
    Maybe you'll remember something!
[17:32] ---
    Grandma will be so happy
    you came to visit, Okarin.
[17:37] ---
    We're going to see your grandma?
[17:39] ---
    Yup! And I'll introduce you
    to her too, Kagari-san!
[17:43] ---
    And tell her you're Mayushii's beloved friend!
[17:46] ---
    Mayuri-san...
[17:51] ---
    This is...
[17:52] ---
    Well, Okarin? Do you remember anything?
[17:56] ---
    No...
[17:57] ---
    I see...
[17:59] ---
    You'll talk to your grandma, right?
[18:02] ---
    Oh, right!
[18:03] ---
    Sorry. I'll only be a minute.
[18:10] ---
    It's been a while, Grandma.
[18:13] ---
    Guess what? I made a
    new friend named Kagari-san!
[18:18] ---
    --This is like a ritual for her.
[18:18] ---
    --But the thing is, Kagari-san has amnesia.
[18:21] ---
    --A ritual?
[18:24] ---
    To lose all your memories of the past,
    that has to be so sad...
[18:30] ---
    I wonder if she'll get them back?
[18:35] ---
    It'd be nice if they came back...
[18:41] ---
    Whoa! Mayuri, it's raining! Let's take cover!
[18:51] ---
    It sure came pouring down...
[18:53] ---
    We're totally drenched!
[18:55] ---
    We should've brought umbrellas.
[19:02] ---
    I know! We can go to Mayushii's house and--
[19:07] ---
    Kagari-san?
[19:09] ---
    This is...
[19:20] ---
    Mommy...
[19:38] ---
    Kagari?
[19:38] ---
    This is...
[19:40] ---
