[00:01] ---
    If I return to the beta world line,
[00:04] ---
    Makise Kurisu dies.
[00:08] ---
    I'll start cracking now.
[00:10] ---
    Wait!
[00:12] ---
    The cracking...
[00:16] ---
    We're not doing it.
SIGN    Paradox Meltdown
[01:57] ---
    Where's Okabe?
[01:58] ---
    Unknown!
[01:59] ---
    I've been busy.
[02:01] ---
    Good luck, Mayushii!
[02:03] ---
    You, too, Daru-kun.
[02:06] ---
    Is today the last day of Comima?
[02:09] ---
    Yeah, want to come?
[02:11] ---
    There's lots of cute cosplay.
[02:13] ---
    I-I'm not really interested...
[02:18] ---
    I wonder what Okarin's up to.
[02:20] ---
    No idea.
[02:21] ---
    He said we weren't doing the cracking,
    and that was it.
[02:24] ---
    What's he thinking?
[02:31] ---
    They said it's gonna reach a high of 35!
[02:35] ---
    Hydration is the best way to prevent heatstroke.
[02:40] ---
    Aren't you going to Comima today?
[02:42] ---
    I'm leaving right now.
[02:44] ---
    I see.
[02:46] ---
    Be careful.
[02:47] ---
    Okay.
[02:53] ---
    It's really sunny out.
[02:55] ---
    Bye.
[02:58] ---
    Mayuri!
[03:06] ---
    August 17th.
[03:08] ---
    Each D-mail I undid delayed
    Mayuri's death by one day.

[03:14] ---
    Erasing Suzuha's mail made the events
    of the 13th occur on the 14th.

[03:19] ---
    Feyris, Rukako, Moeka...
[03:22] ---
    If each one pushed it back a day,
[03:25] ---
    then in this world line, Mayuri dies on the 17th.
[03:30] ---
    Today, before 8:00 PM.
[03:34] ---
    Okarin!
[03:38] ---
    Did you find what you were looking for?
[03:40] ---
    Yup!
[03:41] ---
    It was almost sold out...
[03:43] ---
    I got one for Daru-kun, too.
[03:46] ---
    Oh, and there was a book on a
    robot anime I thought you'd like!
[03:49] ---
    Want to go?
[03:51] ---
    No.
[03:52] ---
    I'm fine.
[03:53] ---
    Why not?
[03:54] ---
    You came all this way.
[03:56] ---
    There's something I want to think about.
[03:59] ---
    I see...
[04:00] ---
    Tell me if there's anywhere you'd like to look.
[04:03] ---
    Yeah.
[04:06] ---
    Are you okay?
[04:08] ---
    Want to go home?
[04:10] ---
    What are you talking about?
[04:12] ---
    I wanted to think about, um,
[04:14] ---
    the Organization assassins hiding in this building.
[04:17] ---
    I need to do something to escape their clutches.
[04:20] ---
    If I'm not careful, they might find me.
[04:22] ---
    Follow the original plan until evening.
[04:25] ---
    I don't think any bad people like that are here.
[04:28] ---
    I'm going scouting.
[04:30] ---
    Let's meet back here at 1500.
[04:32] ---
    Okay?
[04:33] ---
    Sure!
[04:35] ---
    Okarin!
[04:36] ---
    They're selling juice over there!
[04:39] ---
    Five hours left.
[04:41] ---
    Don't give up.
[04:43] ---
    Before that time, find it...
[04:45] ---
    The way for her to survive without
    changing world lines.

[04:51] [Messenger] ---
    Assistant
[04:56] ---
    Why do I have to help Hashida...
[04:59] ---
    A notepad?
[05:00] ---
    A list of circles at Comima?
[05:01] ---
    I don't see one.
[05:03] ---
    The rack?
[05:04] ---
    The second shelf?
[05:06] ---
    Don't look at the second shelf?
[05:12] ---
    I'm seriously having you arrested.
[05:16] ---
    What is it now?
[05:17] ---
    It's me.
[05:19] ---
    What's going on with the cracking?
[05:21] ---
    You stopped it.
[05:23] ---
    So we haven't touched it for three days.
[05:26] ---
    Explain what's going on, already.
[05:28] ---
    What happened?
[05:29] ---
    Mayuri will die today.
[05:32] ---
    I heard you before.
[05:34] ---
    Isn't that why you're doing the cracking?
[05:36] ---
    To erase the first D-mail you sent—
[05:38] ---
    No!
[05:39] ---
    We aren't doing it.
[05:41] ---
    I'm going to think of a way to
    save Mayuri without the cracking.
[05:46] ---
    Why?
[05:48] ---
    Things have changed. This is the only way.
[05:52] ---
    What kind of things?
[05:53] ---
    I can't explain now.
[05:56] ---
    There must be some way.
[05:58] ---
    Some other way.
[06:00] ---
    Some other way?
[06:01] ---
    Please!
[06:03] ---
    Explain.
[06:05] ---
    If you don't, I won't be able
    to think of anything.
[06:08] ---
    I won't be able to help.
[06:14] ---
    You don't have time for this, right?
[06:15] ---
    Don't hide things now!
[06:16] ---
    Okabe?
[06:27] ---
    We finally made it back...
[06:30] ---
    Hey, want to stop by the lab, Okarin?
[06:33] ---
    Mayushii was thinking of getting some food.
[06:39] ---
    Okarin?
[06:40] ---
    Are you tired?
[06:42] ---
    No.
[06:44] ---
    It's almost time...
[06:46] ---
    Almost time for her to die again.
[06:50] ---
    Should I run?
[06:51] ---
    No. That never works.
[06:54] ---
    Okarin?
[06:56] ---
    Let's go.
[07:07] ---
    Hey, Okarin.
[07:08] ---
    Why did you come with me today?
[07:11] ---
    You barely went to see anything.
[07:14] ---
    If you wanted to check something out,
[07:16] ---
    I would've shown you around!
[07:19] ---
    There aren't many things Mayushii
    knows more than Okarin about.
[07:26] ---
    Okarin?
[07:34] ---
    Thanks for coming today!
[07:37] ---
    We've never gone to Comima together,
[07:39] ---
    so Mayushii was happy!
[07:42] ---
    Mayuri...
[07:45] ---
    I wanted to see Rukako looking
    embarrassed in his cosplay!
[07:50] ---
    It's a shame he didn't come.
[07:52] ---
    Yeah, if he had, he would've been really popular.
[07:55] ---
    I bet.
[07:57] ---
    And then Ruka-kun would have gotten
    his photo on all the blogs,
[08:01] ---
    and he'd have become a worldwide superstar!
[08:04] ---
    And then Mayushii would have seen it
    and said, "He's come a long way."
[08:10] ---
    I could really see that happening.
[08:12] ---
    It'd be even better if Okarin cosplayed.
[08:16] ---
    I'll consider it.
[08:17] ---
    Really?
[08:18] ---
    But in exchange, you'd also have to cosplay.
[08:22] ---
    I know... We'll call Rukako and Christina.
[08:26] ---
    And you can convince them to cosplay, too.
[08:30] ---
    If you do that, then I,
[08:32] ---
    Hououin Kyouma, mad scientist,
[08:36] ---
    shall make my cosplay debut at Comima.
[08:38] ---
    I see...
[08:39] ---
    That's going to be hard!
[08:41] ---
    But Kurisu-chan was interested,
[08:44] ---
    so Mayushii will try her best to
    do it by the next Comima.
[08:47] ---
    The next...
[08:53] ---
    Huh? My watch isn't working.
[08:58] ---
    That's strange.
[09:00] ---
    I just wound—
[09:02] ---
    Okarin?
[09:04] ---
    No!
[09:05] ---
    I can't go through this!
[09:05] ---
    I'm so close!
[09:07] ---
    Why is this happening?
[09:08] ---
    Okarin?
[09:09] ---
    Stay here!
[09:12] ---
    Okarin?
[09:15] ---
    I'm going to change fate.
[09:18] ---
    I'll stop it from happening!
[09:20] ---
    If I let that car hit me... If I die here,
[09:25] ---
    something has to change!
[09:28] ---
    Something!
[09:31] ---
    Okarin!
[09:39] ---
    Mayuri?
[09:42] ---
    Mayuri!
[09:47] ---
    Okarin...
[09:51] ---
    Finally... Finally, I was useful.
[09:56] ---
    Mayuri!
[09:57] ---
    Mayushii was useful to you.
[10:07] ---
    Okarin...
[10:18] ---
    Hey... Mayuri...
[10:20] ---
    You can't see the stars from here, can you?
[10:29] ---
    This isn't fair...
SIGN    I want to talk to you. Kurisu
[10:53] ---
    I'll start cracking now.
[10:56] ---
    Okabe?
[11:00] ---
    Okabe?
[11:23] ---
    How long are you going to lie there?
[11:28] ---
    I thought I told you to leave me alone.
[11:30] ---
    You did.
[11:31] ---
    But you've been up here, on the roof, for hours
[11:34] ---
    without a sound. I got worried...
[11:37] ---
    I mean, I'm not worried, but...
[11:41] ---
    Tell me.
[11:42] ---
    Why did you stop the cracking?
[11:44] ---
    You yourself said...
[11:47] ---
    You thought the FBI would come,
    and you got scared, right?
[11:50] ---
    I can tell...
[11:51] ---
    I'd prefer to be thought of as a law-abiding citizen.
[11:55] ---
    This isn't like you.
[11:56] ---
    What happened to your normal, hotshot attitude?
[11:59] ---
    The great mad scientist, Hououin Kyouma—
[12:01] ---
    How can I act like that right now?!
[12:03] ---
    Mad scientist?
[12:06] ---
    Hououin Kyouma?
[12:07] ---
    It's all crap!
[12:09] ---
    I made it all up!
[12:11] ---
    You didn't know?
[12:15] ---
    I knew within five seconds of meeting you.
[12:20] ---
    Did you time leap again?
[12:25] ---
    What happened?
[12:27] ---
    I've helped you with everything so far, haven't I?
[12:30] ---
    Don't hold back now.
[12:32] ---
    We've made it this far by
    thinking things through together, right?
[12:36] ---
    This far, huh?
[12:41] ---
    Suzuha and Feyris...
[12:42] ---
    Rukako...
[12:44] ---
    To come this far,
[12:46] ---
    I sacrificed the things they loved the most.
[12:48] ---
    And now, this is how it ends?
[12:52] ---
    What do you mean?
[12:54] ---
    Why?
[12:56] ---
    Okabe!
[13:02] ---
    Okabe, you were crying back there...
[13:08] ---
    Hashida was concerned, too.
[13:10] ---
    He thought maybe you had a bad dream.
[13:14] ---
    Tell me.
[13:18] ---
    I want to help you!
[13:28] ---
    July 28th...
[13:32] ---
    Mayuri and I went to
    Dr. Nakabachi's press conference.
[13:36] ---
    There...
[13:38] ---
    There, I saw Makise Kurise collapsed
    after being stabbed by someone,
[13:42] ---
    but I don't know who.
[13:44] ---
    I sent a text to Daru's cell phone,
[13:46] ---
    which was connected to the Phone Microwave.
[13:48] ---
    The first D-mail.
[13:50] ---
    The message that moved us
[13:52] ---
    from the beta world line to the alpha world line.
[13:56] ---
    Deleting that message from SERN's database,
[13:59] ---
    and returning to the beta world line,
[14:02] ---
    means going back to that world.
[14:06] ---
    If we return to the beta world line...
[14:09] ---
    If we undo that first D-mail...
[14:12] ---
    You will die.
[14:28] ---
    Answer it.
[14:32] ---
    Answer it.
[14:36] ---
    Mayuri?
[14:37] ---
    Yeah.
[14:39] ---
    What's wrong?
[14:40] ---
    Hey, Daru-kun told me you were acting odd.
[14:46] ---
    It's nothing.
[14:47] ---
    Daru was wrong.
[14:49] ---
    But...
[14:52] ---
    I'm sorry.
[14:54] ---
    Mayushii's been so busy with Comima,
[14:56] ---
    she couldn't spend time with you.
[14:59] ---
    Hey, you used to talk to Mayushii about
    all kinds of stuff, didn't you?
[15:04] ---
    There were four Organization generals,
[15:07] ---
    Geppu, Sudachi, Seiyuu, and Jakkou?
[15:10] ---
    Genbu, Suzaku, Seiryuu, Byakko.
[15:12] ---
    That's right.
[15:14] ---
    I really liked hearing about those things.
[15:22] ---
    Hey...
[15:23] ---
    If Mayushii is ever a burden, tell me, okay?
[15:27] ---
    I'll leave you alone for now!
[15:29] ---
    If Mayushii can do anything for you,
[15:31] ---
    call me right away.
[15:33] ---
    Mayuri?
[15:35] ---
    You should go right now.
[15:37] ---
    From your voice, I can guess what she was saying.
[15:42] ---
    You should go see her now.
[15:45] ---
    You won't be able to come up with any answers,
[15:47] ---
    even if you do stay here, talking with me.
[15:49] ---
    That's why you were sitting here alone, right?
[15:53] ---
    Then you should go see Mayuri.
[15:56] ---
    The only thing that will happen if you
    stay and worry is that you'll hurt my pride.
[16:01] ---
    I'll be going!
[16:12] ---
    This is Mayushii. I can't answer the phone right now!
[16:20] ---
    It's me.
[16:21] ---
    One of the cosplayers said Mayushii left a while ago.
[16:25] ---
    I see.
[16:48] ---
    I'm sorry...
[16:50] ---
    You came to see me because it's Obon.
    Right, Granny?
[16:55] ---
    I've only been having scary dreams lately.
[17:00] ---
    In the dreams, terrible things happen to Mayushii.
[17:05] ---
    She gets shot with a pistol,
[17:08] ---
    or she's in a car accident or run over by a train.
[17:12] ---
    And everything seems like it really happened.
[17:15] ---
    It's scary, and it hurts...
[17:17] ---
    And it's sad...
[17:19] ---
    I try to scream for help, as loud as I can,
[17:23] ---
    but I can't.
[17:26] ---
    Why do I have these dreams?
[17:31] ---
    And at the end of the dreams,
[17:34] ---
    Okarin always comes to save me.
[17:37] ---
    Mayushii says, "Thank you, Okarin!"
[17:41] ---
    But he doesn't hear her...
[17:46] ---
    He holds Mayushii, and he looks sad.
[17:51] ---
    And he never cries,
    but you can tell he really wants to.
[17:56] ---
    So Mayushii says, "I'm sorry."
    But he doesn't hear her.
[18:01] ---
    And then I wake up.
[18:07] ---
    I'm sorry!
[18:08] ---
    I'll talk about something fun.
[18:10] ---
    Lately, there are lots of new lab members!
[18:13] ---
    Kurisu-chan...
[18:15] ---
    And Moeka-san,
[18:16] ---
    and Ruka-kun, and Feyris-chan!
[18:18] ---
    And Suzu-san!
[18:20] ---
    At first, it was just the two of us...
[18:23] ---
    Kurisu-chan is super-smart.
[18:26] ---
    And she talks about all these
    really hard things with Okarin.
[18:29] ---
    It's so much fun...
[18:31] ---
    Okarin looks happy that he gets to talk so much.
[18:37] ---
    But you know, sometimes I remember...
[18:42] ---
    The first time Mayushii went to the lab.
[18:47] ---
    It was the beginning of spring, but it was snowing.
[18:52] ---
    When I went to the lab after school,
[18:54] ---
    Okarin wasn't there.
[18:56] ---
    While I was cleaning up the room, he came in.
[19:01] ---
    And I said, "Welcome back!"
[19:03] ---
    And he didn't say, "I'm back."
[19:06] ---
    He said, "Good work."
[19:09] ---
    And then, every day after that, I'd go there
[19:12] ---
    for about two hours, and we'd barely talk.
[19:15] ---
    It wasn't bad. We were simply there together.
[19:21] ---
    Time passed so slowly, and it was nice.
[19:27] ---
    Mayushii thought she really was like a hostage!
[19:31] ---
    Did something good happen?
[19:34] ---
    Yup!
[19:35] ---
    Nothing good happened, but it was good anyway.
[19:38] ---
    I understand... You saw some kind of illusion.
[19:41] ---
    It may be an attack by
    Organization General Illusion Conductor.

[19:46] ---
    I see...
[19:48] ---
    Then I'll have to be careful!
[19:50] ---
    But I bet that Illusion Contactor...
[19:52] ---
    Conductor.
[19:54] ---
    I don't think he's a bad person!
[20:00] ---
    Lately, I haven't spent much time
    talking with Okarin.
[20:06] ---
    It used to be that when I saw him,
[20:08] ---
    I could tell what he was thinking.
[20:11] ---
    But recently, I can't.
[20:15] ---
    Except...
[20:17] ---
    He looks like he's really suffering...
[20:19] ---
    Like he's always about to cry.
[20:24] ---
    And I know he's thinking about me.
[20:30] ---
    I don't want to be a burden to him...
[20:34] ---
    I'm sorry! I was talking about
    something sad again!
[20:37] ---
    Maybe Mayushii's been lonely lately.
[20:43] ---
    Granny, I can't stay this way forever.
[20:50] ---
    You can.
[20:57] ---
    It's Okarin!
[21:02] ---
    How did you know I was here?
[21:05] ---
    I always know where my hostage is.
[21:09] ---
    So you can't ever escape from me.
[21:12] ---
    Not ever.
[21:14] ---
    You shouldn't force yourself.
[21:20] ---
    I, Hououin Kyouma,
[21:22] ---
    am not so weak that I need you
    to worry about me.
[21:27] ---
    When the time comes that I can,
[21:29] ---
    I'll tell you everything.
[21:32] ---
    Okay.
[21:33] ---
    We're going home.
[21:35] ---
    But before that...
[21:36] ---
    I know.
[21:37] ---
    You want to get another Upa gatchapon, right?
