Nice to meet you, me from 15 years ago. I'm sending this movie mail from 2025.

It uses the same


principle as D-mails. Upon reaching this β World Line, you dismantled the Microwave Phone (Temp).
Correct? But I... you will, not even in one year, turn back to time travel theory. And you'll stick to it for
14 years. That's where I am now. Along the way, I succeeded at making a device that surpasses the D-
mail's limit of 36 bytes.

The fact that you're listening to this movie mail means that you've failed to save Kurisu, doesn't it.
Painful, isn't it? I know how you feel. After all, I am you after 15 years. That's right. I also failed. After I
failed, 15 years have passed. You do understand why I made you fail, right? It was necessary. Necessary
for me to think through my 'obsession' for these 15 years. You tried to save Kurisu, and failed. You,
yourself, killed Kurisu. That bitterness. That guilt. They tied you to me, who completed this plan in 2025.
Its because of that obsession itself that I'm able to send you this movie mail.

Just as you know, the world converges due to attractor fields. Normally, if you just time traveled, you
would be unable to save Kurisu. That's why you had to fail once, to create cause and effect. Preparatory
measures. Because you failed, I've been doing nothing but studying for these past 15 years. Doctor
Nakabachi started a worldwide controversy on time travel, and the world ran to war. All the while, I
survived underground, continuing my own time travel research. The time machine Suzuha uses was
created using my and Daru’s research, but the basic theory was constructed by SERN - It was developed
by Makise Kurisu in the world line you 'undid'.

The model number is 'Type C204'. The C stands for 'Christina'. I think you understand what that means.
Anyway, cause and effect has been established. Let's talk about the final stage of the plan. The plan to
change Divergence and reach the unknown world line - the Steins Gate. By the way, the one who named
it the Steins Gate was me. You of all people should understand why it's the Steins Gate.

'It doesn't really mean anything'. Right?

There are two requirements to reach that Steins Gate. One is to save Makise Kurisu's life. The other is to
consign into oblivion the Nakabachi Thesis that Doctor Nakabachi brings to Russia. 'But trying to change
that past was pointless' - that's what you should be thinking now. The world will converge. That force
didn't let you change the past. Correct? But without a doubt, there is a way. You can save Kurisu. Listen
well.

On that day, July 28th. The first you should've come to Doctor Nakabachi's presentation without
knowing anything. You must not undo what that first you saw himself, because that's the decided past,
the world line's convergent result. But...

You can 'deceive'.

You want to say 'What does that mean?' don't you? Calm down. I'll explain now. Who you'll deceive is
you, yourself. The first you witnessed Kurisu collapsed in a puddle of blood. If you hadn't seen it, then
everything you've done until now, and everything I've done until now would become a time paradox.
Understand? Upon witnessing Kurisu's death, you sent a D-mail, which was intercepted by Echelon,
which tipped off SERN.

Remember what you experienced in the α World Line. All that happened there was Mayuri's death. You
met again with the living Kurisu. You forcefully made her a lab mem, and together you made the Time
Leap Machine. It was only three weeks, but for you, that was the time you spent with the person named
Makise Kurisu. The you there now. The me here now. Neither of us is the Okabe Rintarou who only lived
in this β World Line, where Kurisu died on July 28th. You remember going into the α World Line, living
with Kurisu, sacrificing many memories to save Mayuri... But you still kept struggling for those three
weeks. That's the sort of being you should be. If you didn't see Kurisu collapsed in a puddle of blood in
Radio Kaikan's dim passage, you wouldn't have sent Daru a D-mail, and Echelon wouldn't have
intercepted it. You wouldn't have spoken strangely to Kurisu when you met her again afterwards. Kurisu
wouldn't have gotten interested in you. And then... you wouldn't be standing there right now, thinking 'I
want to save Kurisu even if I have to time travel'. The me in 2025 wouldn't have made the plan to reach
the Steins Gate. The me in 2025 wouldn't have sent you this movie mail. Daru wouldn't have perfected
the time machine in 2036. Suzuha wouldn't have appeared to you with her time machine.

You mustn't deny those mere three weeks you experienced drifting through world lines. You mustn't
undo them. You are right here, having traveled through many world lines with the strong desire to save
Kurisu. I am right here, having spent my whole life until 2025 developing the time machine with the
desire to save Kurisu. Where you're standing right now is the arrival of the moment we wished for to
save Kurisu...! I, who did not move a single world line, never arrived in that moment. Everything that
happens has a meaning. The preparatory measures of my plan are complete. Everything else depends
on you.

...Let me explain the summary of your last mission, Operation SKULD (Norn of the Future). Change the
result, without changing the decided past. Kurisu collapsed in a puddle of blood, observed by Okabe
Rintarou. That past has been decided. But conversely, that means that's all that has been decided.

Deceive the first you.

Deceive the world.

That is the choice to arrive at the 'Steins Gate'.

I pray for your success, you insane mad scientist. El...Psy...Kongroo.
