While he does so, Daru suggests that he become another time-traveling radio personality like Suzuha's John Titor, which Okabe and Kurisu find tempting. Okabe returns to the lab, where Daru hacks back into SERN and finds the first D-mail. Okabe tells her to find out for herself, which she does, leaving her utterly dumbfounded.
As she has a sewing kit, Kurisu offers to stitch it. MyAnimeList.net is a property of MyAnimeList, LLC. Afterwards, Okabe heads into the closet where Kurisu dies, and has to hide among the boxes to avoid Kurisu noticing him when she comes. Suzuha initially thinks that this is because Mayuri has a Reading Steiner, so Okabe explains that, if given the right push, everyone can have their memories shifted into another world line, so it makes sense that Mayuri has memories of Kurisu.
Characters Her hair, which she prefers to let loose, ranges in ginger shades all the way from mahogany to auburn. However, he ends up running into Past Kurisu, and nearly suffers from a mental breakdown.
Turn your friends into otaku with these 5 recommendations! Kurisu's papers are revealed to be a time machine theory, and Nakabachi is shown to have left some Academic group to do his own work and destroy their empire. Everyone else says that that plan might be too simple compared to what Future Okabe said, but Okabe says that that is just perfect, scaring everyone. Afterwards, Okabe ships away all of his lab equipment to avoid any more risks, and asks Kurisu if this is for the best. Kurisu argues that, if he just lets her go after working so hard, he will break even further.
He then begins following Kurisu to the press conference (the other encounter proving why Kurisu thought she met Okabe 15 minutes earlier), having been tasked to not alter Kurisu's path by Suzuha or risk making the world line worse. Kurisu then explains that the Butterfly Effect was the explanation for such major changes, and one of the well-recognized risks in changing the past.
Suzuha breaks the door open with a silenced pistol, with the plan being for Okabe to save Kurisu and watch out for Dr. Nakabachi while Suzuha prepares a return trip; however, Okabe must not run into his past self.
To give them more time to figure out a solution, Kurisu sends Okabe back about 5 hours into the past. He manages to succeed, and Past Mayuri gets a green Oopa instead. This is the reason behind her acerbic attitude, which she adopted as a defence mechanism to hide her vulnerabilities.
At Staples Center the next day, Faris manages to score big at the Rai-Net tournament while Daru cheers her on, and Mayuri manages to get Ruka in female cosplay again, to his embarrassment.
Okabe then tries to look up places to go out at, but concedes. Kurisu says it's okay as long as Okabe leaves due to the pudding incident, resulting in more bickering. He begins threatening Nakabachi with the knife, prompting him to flee with the paper when Okabe's blood drips on his nose. She then forces Daru to help her spy on Okabe so he doesn't screw something up. Kurisu mocks this since evil geniuses don't typically accept such things, but this causes Okabe to breakdown, saying that he's no evil genius and that Hououin Kyoma is a piece of child's play. Okabe says he ate it because it didn't say "Christina" just as Mayuri walks in.
Kurisu deduced that Okabe had used the Phone Microwave immediately.
She has an unusual sense of fashion, with her outfit being composed of a white long-sleeved blue-rimmed dress shirt with a red necktie. Okabe then comments to Kurisu that she did a great job on making the phone wave, and Kurisu initially says "Aww", but quickly goes "tsundere" (as Daru puts it). As Daru makes the final preparations on the hacking, Kurisu asks Okabe what the very first D-mail was. Later in the night, Moeka storms the room with 5 armed men and declares that SERN is confiscating their time machine, as well as taking Okabe, Kurisu, Daru into custody.
Kurisu tells him to find Moeka while she tracks Mayuri, and tells him that no matter how many world lines he jumps, she'll always help him. Okabe tells her that he will help reconcile Kurisu's broken relationship by using the device, to which she accepts. That night, Kurisu comes to Radio Kaikan building where Suzuha's time machine had crashed, and within the darkness she found the room where she was stabbed in another worldline.
Her accomplishments in spite of her youth have exposed Kurisu to the jealousy of those who consider themselves her superiors. Okabe is forced to act polite just for Kurisu to operate the Phone Microwave. The next day, Kurisu prepares to head back to America. Okabe then finally tells Kurisu about the D-mail, and after he finishes Mayuri calls him.
Mayuri is later seen carrying two heavy bags, but due to the stress she briefly drops them and begins walking aimlessly.
