Meanwhile Okabe in the phone's world.....

Okabe's all put in one world....... Is this someone's idea of a joke?! I have to get out of here, and FAST. I truly think Kurisu would have better ideas than me to deal with this.
"It's good to see you all here", Moeka finally speaks after standing there for a uncountable amount of time. Now that she has started talking, I'm frazzling inside and decide to stay to see how this turns out.

The me eating the banana stops eating and holds the skin in his hand.

The one on the cell phone stops blabbering and flips the black phone shut.

The lab coat meeting ceases to quietness.

We all look to Moeka.

"Rins, please take your place on the right and Oka's to the left", She instructs in her creepy monotone voice. Her hands point to both sides of the room. Oka's and Rin's..... Okabe..... Okarin..... Mayuri doesn't come into this..... what? I feel a bad gut feeling. This is really strange. The room divides into order and I'm left standing in the middle, floating above the burgundy, red, antique carpet. Movement moves next to me and a glimpse of red flutters in the corner of my eye.

"Kuristina!!", I exclaim a little too loudly. Moeka seems unfazed, phew. My ghostly form does come in handy, but still, as a mad scientist this is almost TOO mad.
"Okabe..... just where are we? You left when I was getting to the good parts about the repulsion theory and how it possibly could tie into how we ended up in this world that doesn't feel like a world", She whispers quickly. "Anyways, I got in here because the door to this place was left wide open and for some reason I thought, "Okabe's silly, he would leave a door open like that"', she shakes her head.
"You seem to know me too well...." I mumble.

"And I'm glad to see you all too", a new deep voice emerges from behind the walls. It sounds familiar, it's a male voice with a slight hissing sound to it. A me with a black coat slinks next to Moeka. "Okarins". He seems so.... ME, but a different kind.

My white lab coat wavers at my sides. I realise that the window to the foyer is open a crack and without thinking I go up to it and realise that this could be a way of escaping the madness I've put myself in. No one can see me and Kurisu and so it's not like this new me-dude can see us. I try to hint to Kurisu with my arms.

"I can see you", he says. I turn around to look up and our eyes connect. I'm frozen in space, an ice block that drops in water and just floats there. His eyes stare at me with  something I've never seen in myself. Something I don't want to see. Kurisu looks at him strangely, but I can tell that she's scared.
"Oka, it's a pleasure to meet you", he talks evenly from the front of the room, in a devilish tone. Are you incapable of walking over here and talk to me like a respectable mad scientist would!?

His coat is moving with him, his even talk staightened it out like it's been pressed. Crisp in black.
"Uhhhhhhh, hi Okabe Rintarou?", I try make this a good conversation, even though he looks like something I do not want to be talking to.
One: because he's a mirror image of me only empty looking,
And two: there's something mysterious in those eyes.

Moeka takes out her phone and starts texting something, slowly.
"I'm going to tell you a story and I want you to listen okay, Oka?", he asks. I don't know what I'm agreeing to so I stay silent. I've been so focused on him I forgot where I was. Kurisu is right next to me, frozen too and still strangely looking at him.
"I thought it would come to this so I had a back-up plan in handy", he suddenly comes to life and his coat opens out into spiky black wings. "I'm going to show you how you were blessed with the Reading Steiner", He vanishes then appears in front of me, too close for my liking. Diamonds of darkness sprinkle around him. "Let's go, shall we?", we disappear from the foyer, momentarily.

Suzuha did what she had to do and feels better knowing that Mayuri and Ruka know about Okabe, at least what they have a right to know. The rest she has to deal with herself. She's still on the roof, watching the clouds in the sky. Each one with a different shape and line. Late morning winds move them across the sky.

"I really hope you pull through Kurisu, you're the only one who can save Okabe now", she says, talking to the sky. She gets up and walks down to the time machine. The time machine hadn't done really any good, no matter how hard Suzuha tried to change the future or find her Dad. It was a good thing that she did find her Dad, but now Suzuha doesn't know if it was really worth all of her time. Deep down, she feels horrible that the fate of the world has to depend on unlocking Steins;Gate and how Okabe has to do that. It's good that he isn't alone in doing that, though. All she can do now is believe in him. Okabe has to change the way the future is headed and be in harmony, literally, with himself. Then the Lab Members will finally be together again.
