I'd just like to let everyone know that I've got an especially virulent illness. It's possibly tuberculosis. Cough, cough.
So if you planned to come over today, please, please stay away from my apartment, unless you don't want to get this serious and painful illness.
I won't be able to go to work today, Keroro-san. I'll miss you and all my colleagues.

[Private to Sheena]

Don't worry, I'm not sick. Take care of yourself!

[Private to Mello]

I'm not lying. Cough. Take care of yourself.

I traveled back in time countless times to save her, but she kept dying, again and again and again... So many times, I almost gave up. But I am not the type of man who gives up before his goal's seen to, even if it kills me inside.

Eventually, I did save her, and the world with her... but at the cost of the girl I love. Then my niece came back in time again to tell me that future ended in World War III and I needed to stop that, too. orz

The minute I thought I would get to see Kurisu again, BREW picked me up and took me here ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ

Sorry, bad weather happened....

[Okarin's life was extremely complicated compared to this guy1s...]

And...what happened to that girl? With the one you loved? You couldn't meet her again?

it's alright :3

[zealous_steiner]

I saved her and successfully switched world-lines - but she lives in America, not in Akihabara. She did, after all, have to go home at some point.

Maybe, by Steins;Gate's choice, I'll see her again someday. I hope I do.

[If he could send one silent wish to BREW, though he knows it won't listen... it'd be to have Kurisu here. To have his lab-mems here.]

If only I was good enough for playing Kurisu :(

[anpan_tan]

But...you're in America now! This is America! You should...you should try to go and find her! If she fell in love with you in the past, it can happen again, can't it? I'd like to help you to find your love!

omg I would kill to have a Kurisu. the banter that would ensue

[zealous_steiner]

I... I didn't think about that.

[And honestly, he didn't. With some research, he might be able to find her... find her, working on her thesis, before they'd even met the first time.]

[But this isn't the same universe, this isn't the same world-line, and who is to say Kurisu's even here? It's worth a try, though, and he even has someone willing to help...]

[An evil laugh rings out in the apartment, the kind that he hasn't heard from his own mouth in weeks.]

It's a different world-line entirely, and nobody can say whether she exists here too... but it's worth a try! I may be able to remember the lab she worked in, too...

Did you try to find someone to play her?

[anpan_tan]

[Oops, Yamazaki just said something useful!]

Why would not she exist? Maybe there are more than one of her!

[Hopefully she'll stop Kyouma running amok.]
