**[00:02] ---**
Christmas Party?
**[00:04] ---**
Yup! I'm getting everyone
together to come to the lab.
**[00:07] ---**
It'd be really great if you all could come!
**[00:10] ---**
Even me?
**[00:11] ---**
Are you sure?
**[00:12] ---**
Fubuki-*chan*, Kaede-*san*, and Yuki-*san* too.
You're my cosplay comrades.
**[00:17] ---**
Of course, you can come! The more the merrier!
**[00:21] ---**
I'll make you Santa costumes too,
so you have to come!
**[00:23] ---**
Really?
**[00:25] ---**
Even though you're using all this stuff
to make our Winter ComiMa outfits?
**[00:29] ---**
Huhu... Mayushii is going all out.
**[00:32] ---**
I'm making costumes you'll love,
so look forward to it!
**[00:35] ---**
Ooh! That's my bride! Marry me!
**[00:38] ---**
Fubuki-*chan*'s excited.
**[00:41] ---**
You're going to wear one too, right?
A Santa costume...
**[00:44] ---**
Huh? But Mayushii specializes
in making outfits, not--
**[00:47] ---**
Objection!
**[00:48] ---**
I'm with Yuki-*san*! That's such a waste!
**[00:53] ---**
That's right.
**[00:53] ---**
Besides, I bet Okabe-*san* wants
to see Mayuri-*chan* in a costume too.
**[00:57] ---**
Okarin does?
**[00:59] ---**
Okarin-*san* is...?
**[01:00] ---**
Ah, that's Mayushii's boyfriend.
**[01:02] ---**
Wah? That's not true.
**[01:05] ---**
Okarin and Mayushii aren't like that.
**[01:08] ---**
Yeah, yeah...
**[01:09] ---**
You two get along so well,
I find it hard to believe you.
**[01:13] ---**
I'm serious.
**[01:15] ---**
Because...
**[01:16] ---**
Okarin already has somebody he likes.
**[01:22] ---**
Really?
**[01:23] ---**
Yup!
**[01:24] ---**
Mayushii and Okarin get along really
well because we're childhood friends.
**[01:46] ---**
*This world is not even real at all*
**[01:52] ---**
*It's just a vision pulled over our eyes*
**[01:59] ---**
*At the point of infinity, a mundane cosmos*
*is overwriting all the values I know*
**[02:09] ---**
*If some arrogant god thinks they've seized control*
*and keeps pulling strings at the speed of light*
**[02:19] ---**
*Then I, just I alone*
**[02:25] ---**
*I'm fine being that miracle,*
*that lethal minority*
**[02:31] ---**
*I can fly high*
**[02:32] ---**
*If that moment, if that place was*
*something you thought was special to you*
**[02:38] ---**
*The past doesn't have to be*
*memories that simply drift away*
**[02:43] ---**
*Instead of the pain of being hurt,*
*everything about that precious scene will*
**[02:49] ---**
*Become a light and give birth to zero*
**[02:54] ---**
*There is no god. Wonderful new world.*

"Tokyo Denki University Building 7"
**[03:07] ---**
I thought I told you not
to call me during class.
**[03:10] ---**
But when I contacted you,
that was during your break.
**[03:12] ---**
What?
**[03:13] ---**
I made sure to check the class
schedule on your university's website.
**[03:19] ---**
I knew you were ignoring me.
**[03:21] ---**
I've got stuff I'm dealing with, all right?
**[03:23] ---**
What is this so-called stuff?
**[03:25] ---**
Well, that's...
**[03:27] ---**
You should at least come up
with a good excuse ahead of time.
**[03:31] ---**
Anyways, quit calling me until I pick up.
**[03:34] ---**
It's because you can't even
keep a single promise with me.
**[03:38] ---**
Promise?
**[03:39] ---**
Don't you remember?
You said you would take me to this lab of yours.
**[03:43] ---**
We might call it a lab,
but we just screw around there.
**[03:47] ---**
Still...
**[03:49] ---**
The original me went there before, didn't they?
**[03:52] ---**
Well...
**[03:54] ---**
You're so evasive. Which is it?
**[03:56] ---**
"Incoming Call: Mayuri"
**[03:57] ---**
Got a call. I'm hanging up.
**[04:02] ---**
Hello?
**[04:04] ---**
Ah, Okarin?
**[04:05] ---**
Guess what? Fubuki-*chan* and the others
said they can make it to the Christmas party.
**[04:10] ---**
Really? That's great.
**[04:12] ---**
And um...
**[04:13] ---**
I bought so much stuff for making outfits,
**[04:16] ---**
I was wondering if you could help
me carry all of it back home?
**[04:20] ---**
All right.
**[04:21] ---**
Can we meet at the lab after my lecture?
**[04:24] ---**
Yup!
**[04:25] ---**
I'll be waiting for you!
**[04:28] ---**
Okarin said he would come!
**[04:30] ---**
That's wonderful, meow!
**[04:32] ---**
Now it's just down to Suzu-*san*...
**[04:34] ---**
Did you tell her, meow?
**[04:35] ---**
Yeah...
**[04:36] ---**
But I'm not really sure if she'll come.
**[04:38] ---**
Isn't she always at the lab anyways, meow?
**[04:41] ---**
Yeah, but whenever somebody shows up,
she always runs off somewhere.
**[04:46] ---**
It'll all work out, meow!
**[04:49] ---**
Leave it to Faris, meow!
**[04:54] ---**
Oh? So, this is Akihabara?
**[04:56] ---**
It's rude to stare at my phone and walk.
**[04:58] ---**
I'm hanging up.
**[04:59] ---**
Wait. If you hold the camera so I can see,
you don't have to look at the screen.
**[05:03] ---**
Okay.
**[05:08] ---**
Oh?
**[05:11] ---**
"Limited Edition Complete Set with
Collector's Box while Supplies Last"
**[05:11] ---**
Oh! Wait... Never mind.
**[05:15] ---**
It's a bit messier than I imagined.
**[05:19] ---**
Radio Building?
**[05:22] ---**
Ah!
**[05:23] ---**
Hmph! What are you doing?!

"Television CRT Workshop"
**[05:27] ---**
Ah!
**[05:28] ---**
Oh? If it isn't Okabe.
**[05:30] ---**
Hello!
**[05:31] ---**
It's been a while.
**[05:33] ---**
Who's that?
**[05:34] ---**
Be quiet.
**[05:35] ---**
Man, how the times have changed.
**[05:38] ---**
You're a legit college student now.
**[05:40] ---**
Keep it up, champ.
**[05:42] ---**
Just how much of a slacker were you?
**[05:44] ---**
Shut up!
**[05:46] ---**
Huh?
**[05:50] ---**
This is the lab.
**[05:51] ---**
This place?
**[05:58] ---**
It's filthy.
**[06:00] ---**
That's all you've got to say?
**[06:02] ---**
Sorry, let me rephrase that.
**[06:04] ---**
It's full of junk!
**[06:06] ---**
Ugh...
**[06:06] ---**
Laboratories tend to be messy
wherever you go, but this is overdoing it.
**[06:11] ---**
Told you it wouldn't be anything
like you thought it would be.
**[06:15] ---**
Looks more like wreckage than a lab.
**[06:17] ---**
This place gives
Maho's room a run for its money.
**[06:20] ---**
Should you be blabbering private info like that?
**[06:24] ---**
Could you please say something to her too?
**[06:27] ---**
Tell that girl to go clean her room.
**[06:30] ---**
Ugh, if I told her that, she'd bite my head off.
**[06:34] ---**
Still...
**[06:36] ---**
I always yearned for this...
to share a room with people.
**[06:41] ---**
With our own personal forks
and spoons and stuff.
**[06:48] ---**
Oh! You're already here, Okarin!
**[06:50] ---**
Too-too-roo!
**[06:53] ---**
Are you listening to music?
**[06:55] ---**
Is that your friend? I'd like--
**[06:57] ---**
Bye.
**[06:58] ---**
Hey! I--
**[07:00] ---**
You were on a call?
**[07:02] ---**
Don't worry about it.
**[07:03] ---**
Is this what you meant?
**[07:05] ---**
That's a lot of luggage.
**[07:08] ---**
Because I'm making outfits for
Winter ComiMa and some Santa costumes too.
**[07:12] ---**
The Christmas Party? Is everyone coming?
**[07:15] ---**
Yup!
**[07:16] ---**
Fubuki-*chan*, Kaede-*san*, Yuki-*san*,
Ruka-*kun*, and Faris-*chan*.
**[07:21] ---**
Even Yuki-*san*?
**[07:22] ---**
Of course!
**[07:24] ---**
You know what Mayushii thinks?
**[07:25] ---**
Daru-*kun* and Yuki-*san*
are perfect for each other!
**[07:29] ---**
Fubuki-*chan* said,
"No! No way is that ever happening!"
**[07:35] ---**
"Radio Building"
**[07:44] ---**
Searching for this is your and my first mission.
**[07:48] ---**
Um... O-Okey-dokey?
**[07:52] ---**
Good answer.
**[08:06] ---**
Oh, it's just Big Sis Rumi.
**[08:08] ---**
Hmm? Big Sis Rumi?
**[08:10] ---**
Who's that, meow?
**[08:11] ---**
Faris is Faris, meow!
**[08:14] ---**
If you don't show your face once in a while,
people will worry about you, meow.
**[08:20] ---**
If I go there, Mom--
**[08:22] ---**
I mean, it's more relaxing being alone.
**[08:26] ---**
I brought you snacks, meow!
**[08:28] ---**
All of your favorites, meow!
**[08:31] ---**
They won't expire until tomorrow,
so take your time and enjoy, meow!
**[08:35] ---**
Thanks.
**[08:36] ---**
How is Daru's time machine research going, meow?
**[08:40] ---**
He's doing his best, but...
**[08:43] ---**
Not so easy is it, meow?
**[08:46] ---**
Sorry for all the trouble.
**[08:49] ---**
It's fine, meow.
**[08:50] ---**
Faris does nothing more than rent out
this floor and the one beneath it, meow.
**[08:55] ---**
Nothing more?
**[08:56] ---**
To be honest, I owe you so much, it's not funny.
**[09:01] ---**
Don't you worry, meow.
**[09:03] ---**
If that's what it takes to save the world's
elementals from the Byakhee, meow!
**[09:07] ---**
Faris is always ready to help, meow!
**[09:10] ---**
Y-Yeah?
**[09:11] ---**
I don't quite get it, but thanks.
**[09:16] ---**
Big Sis... Dad...
**[09:18] ---**
For everyone's sake,
I need to take Uncle Okarin with me...
**[09:22] ---**
To the entrance of Steins Gate.
**[09:30] ---**
"Brain Science Institute"
**[09:31] ---**
The 24th? On Christmas Eve?
**[09:34] ---**
Why not get his report a different day?
**[09:36] ---**
Lintahlo himself said he had
no problems meeting up with us then.
**[09:40] ---**
Do you have something going on that day?
**[09:43] ---**
No, I don't. I have no plans.
**[09:46] ---**
Then why don't you dress up
as Santa and invite him somewhere?
**[09:49] ---**
In this country, having no plans on the 24th
is essentially saying you don't have a lover.
**[09:56] ---**
Meaning Lintahlo likely has no--
**[09:58] ---**
Why does it always come down to this?!
**[10:01] ---**
That's all you and her ever talk about!
**[10:03] ---**
Yeah? It's very exciting to me.
**[10:06] ---**
Huh?
**[10:07] ---**
Aren't you curious to find out
what sort of relationship
**[10:10] ---**
develops between Amadeus and Lintahlo?
**[10:14] ---**
You need not worry from a security standpoint.
**[10:16] ---**
The system operates using memories,
which means it's remarkably secure.
**[10:21] ---**
That's not what bothers me.
**[10:23] ---**
Hmm?
**[10:23] ---**
"Okabe Green Grocer"
**[10:26] ---**
What I'm worried about is...
**[10:36] ---**
What do you want?
**[10:37] ---**
Is that all you have to say?
**[10:39] ---**
What I'm worried about...
**[10:42] ---**
"Displacement behavior.
Finding yourself after the loss of a loved one..."
"Why does displacement occur? An approach to coping..."
**[10:44] ---**
...is Okabe Rintaro.

"Christmas Cake"
**[10:54] ---**
Are you getting tired of this yet?
**[10:56] ---**
Oh! We haven't been around that corner yet.
**[10:59] ---**
I won't let you make me late for the meeting.
**[11:02] ---**
It'll only take a minute.
**[11:04] ---**
You still have 365 seconds
until you promised to meet them.
**[11:08] ---**
Sheesh.
**[11:13] ---**
Having fun?
**[11:14] ---**
It's frustrating that I can't move on my own.
**[11:18] ---**
"1/120 Scale Radio-Controlled
Plastic Model Helicopter"
**[11:19] ---**
I know!
**[11:20] ---**
Could you link your phone up
to a radio-controlled camera?
**[11:23] ---**
Then I could--
**[11:24] ---**
Not happening.
**[11:25] ---**
What the heck?
**[11:26] ---**
Why are you so vocal with me when
you could hardly pipe up at your group date?
**[11:31] ---**
H-How did you...?!
**[11:33] ---**
You're the one that forgot to close the app.
**[11:36] ---**
I was listening in the background
the whole time. It was so hard not to crack up.
**[11:41] ---**
Your one-liners were atrocious.
**[11:43] ---**
Who runs away when the dating games start?
**[11:46] ---**
You totally ruined truth or dare.
**[11:47] ---**
Wait a second...
**[11:48] ---**
When we meet Hiyajo-*san* and the professor,
will you be giving them your logs?
**[11:52] ---**
Of course, and everything
I heard will be included too.
**[11:57] ---**
What's more...
**[11:58] ---**
All we've talked about
is stored in the logs too.
**[12:01] ---**
Like how your family sells veggies,
but you hate eggplants.
**[12:04] ---**
And how you called me
Christina the first time we met.
**[12:09] ---**
Quit it.
**[12:10] ---**
So? Why Christina?
**[12:14] ---**
You're so stubborn.
**[12:16] ---**
Human memories are vague. As time goes on,
new ones pour in and it all mixes together.
**[12:22] ---**
Meaning?
**[12:23] ---**
Unfortunately, Amadeus is an incomplete AI.
**[12:27] ---**
That vagueness is lost.
In other words, I can't forget.
**[12:32] ---**
But didn't the Amadeus shown
during the presentation forget things?
**[12:37] ---**
That's simply a process of making trivial logs
inaccessible from a data standpoint.
**[12:42] ---**
It's all in a log somewhere.
**[12:44] ---**
So, you'll never stop asking
why I called you that.
**[12:47] ---**
That's how it is.
**[12:48] ---**
Aren't you a bit too persistent?
**[12:50] ---**
Your evading the question made me curious.
**[12:54] ---**
Curiosity killed the cat, you know.
**[12:57] ---**
That's never stopped researchers like me before.
**[13:03] ---**
Lintahlo!
**[13:08] ---**
Sorry!
**[13:10] ---**
I was there on time, but...
**[13:12] ---**
What were you doing?
Loitering around in a place like that...
**[13:17] ---**
More importantly, what do you think of Kurisu?
**[13:22] ---**
It's a strange feeling.
**[13:24] ---**
I know she's AI, but it's as if...
**[13:27] ---**
Sounds like you have a
load of good stories for us.
**[13:31] ---**
I was planning to check out the
data at the university after this, but...
**[13:33] ---**
Senpai! Senpai!
**[13:36] ---**
Are you free tonight? If you'd like,
you're more than welcome to join us for dinner.
**[13:37] ---**
Go for it! This is your big chance!

You've gotta try to get him before--
**[13:42] ---**
Tonight?
**[13:44] ---**
Sorry...
**[13:45] ---**
I already promised my friend
I would go to their Christmas party tonight.
**[13:53] ---**
Party?!

"Television CRT Workshop"
**[14:09] ---**
Wow!
**[14:11] ---**
What a lovely lab this is, Lintahlo!
**[14:14] ---**
Thank you very much for inviting us!
**[14:17] ---**
Japanese maid girl? Or... cat girl?
**[14:21] ---**
Um, how do you know them?
**[14:23] ---**
We talk on the phone.
They're Hiyajo-*san* and Professor Leskinen.
**[14:26] ---**
They help me out at University.
**[14:28] ---**
Is this really okay?
For us to intrude on your friend's party?
**[14:32] ---**
Lintahlo said we were
welcome to come, so it's all good.
**[14:36] ---**
He didn't mean it! He was just being polite!
**[14:39] ---**
You practically forced him into it!
**[14:42] ---**
You're not happy to be here?
**[14:43] ---**
Wh-Why does that matter?
**[14:47] ---**
Which grade are you?
**[14:48] ---**
Eh?
**[14:50] ---**
Sorry, but I'm a grown-up despite my looks.
**[14:55] ---**
Huh?
**[14:56] ---**
Yeah...
**[14:58] ---**
This lab of yours is so merry,
Lintahlo, and full of beautiful girls!
**[15:05] ---**
In fact, the one over
there is astoundingly sexy.
**[15:10] ---**
But he's a dude.

Yup! Daru-*kun* is on that mission as we speak.
**[15:26] ---**
Daru is?
**[15:27] ---**
Yup!
**[15:28] ---**
I hope he can trick her into coming.
**[15:31] ---**
Trick?
**[15:32] ---**
Yeah...
**[15:34] ---**
She wouldn't come if she knew it was
a party, so he said he would trick her.

I'm coming in with Suzuha!

**[16:15] ---**
Eh? Ah!
**[16:17] ---**
Merry Christmas!

Eh?

S-Sorry...
**[16:46] ---**
I-I was just trying to surprise you...
**[16:52] ---**
So that's why Da--
I mean, my brother was acting funny.
**[16:56] ---**
I'm sorry. Mayushii was the one that planned it.
**[17:00] ---**
No, I'm not mad, but...
**[17:03] ---**
This is something else.
**[17:04] ---**
The lab looks so different now.
**[17:06] ---**
Yeah! Everyone helped put up decorations!
**[17:09] ---**
Mayushii threw this party together
hoping it would cheer you up.
**[17:14] ---**
I see...
**[17:16] ---**
But I... I'm not here to play and have fun.
**[17:21] ---**
You guys have a good time without me.
**[17:24] ---**
You should stay.
**[17:29] ---**
Enjoy it.
**[17:32] ---**
Th-That's right!
**[17:34] ---**
We're all just having a meal together.
**[17:36] ---**
Stay and eat with us and
be grateful for the food, okay?
**[17:45] ---**
It's about time we had the toast, meow!
**[17:48] ---**
One, two...
**[17:49] ---**
Merry Christmas!
**[17:52] ---**
Cheers!

**[18:18] ---**
Okarin?
**[18:19] ---**
We're about to start the present exchange.
**[18:22] ---**
I'll be right back.
**[18:34] ---**
I've got a hypothesis.
**[18:36] ---**
What's that?
**[18:38] ---**
Theory one...
**[18:39] ---**
Your favorite Hollywood actress is named
Christina, so you called me that on accident.
**[18:46] ---**
Way off.
**[18:47] ---**
Two. Your ex-girlfriend was named...
**[18:50] ---**
That can't be it. Sorry.
**[18:53] ---**
Hold on.
**[18:54] ---**
Did you date someone then?
**[18:55] ---**
Eh?
**[18:57] ---**
I'll consider your silence as a no.
**[19:01] ---**
Shut up.
**[19:03] ---**
Three...
**[19:04] ---**
That's what you called the original me,
either directly or indirectly.
**[19:10] ---**
Though the possibility of that seems low.
**[19:12] ---**
And why is that?
**[19:13] ---**
Because I know what I would say.
**[19:16] ---**
Don't call me that!
**[19:21] ---**
Okay! Closer! Just scoot a bit closer!
**[19:25] ---**
O-Okay!
**[19:27] ---**
I'm against this! I'm totally against this!
**[19:30] ---**
U-Um, I'm so sorry...
**[19:33] ---**
N-No, don't worry.
**[19:35] ---**
This isn't your fault, Nae-*chan*.
**[19:39] ---**
Th-They're so cute...
**[19:40] ---**
All is well in the world! Huff!
**[19:44] ---**
Okabe-*san* sure is late.
**[19:46] ---**
Hmm, yeah.
**[19:47] ---**
I'll check up on him.
**[19:55] ---**
Could it be... I was right?
**[19:58] ---**
Quit making assumptions.
**[20:00] ---**
Well then, give me an answer already.
**[20:04] ---**
Do you want... to know why?
**[20:08] ---**
Yes.
**[20:10] ---**
Because I was embarrassed.
**[20:12] ---**
Eh?
**[20:14] ---**
I couldn't say it normally, so I teased you.
**[20:18] ---**
You mean... my name?
**[20:22] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:26] ---**
Uh, um... Th-Thanks for telling me.
**[20:36] ---**
Why are you turning all red?
**[20:39] ---**
Huh? I-I'm not turning red, I'm not!
**[20:42] ---**
I-If you think you caught me off guard
treating me like a girl or something,
**[20:45] ---**
th-that's so far from the truth!
**[20:49] ---**
Wh-What?
**[20:52] ---**
I...
**[20:54] ---**
Eh?
**[20:56] ---**
It's... that part of you that I...
**[20:58] ---**
Huh? You...
**[21:04] ---**
Wha?
**[21:05] ---**
Huh? Senpa--
**[21:08] ---**
Hiyajo-*san*? What are you doing?
**[21:11] ---**
I told you.
**[21:13] ---**
It's easy to be deluded.
**[21:16] ---**
Make no mistake...
**[21:18] ---**
This right here is Amadeus.
**[21:21] ---**
Not Makise Kurisu.
**[21:25] ---**
That's...
**[21:26] ---**
Makise Kurisu is dead.
**[21:34] ---**
Dead.
**[21:37] ---**
She's not here anymore.
**[21:41] ---**
Dead...
**[21:50] ---**
Okabe-*san*?!
**[21:54] ---**
What the?! Okabe-*san*?!
