*True Ending: In Akihabara, on July 28th, 2010, Rintaro Okabe enters Radio Kaikan with Mayuri Shiina. He finds Kurisu Makise's body in a spreading stain of blood. Panic grips him; he bolts outside and sends a desperate message to Daru. The world shifts—people disappear, the fact of Kurisu's death erased from everyone's memory but his own. Hours later, Rintaro sees Kurisu alive. He pieces it together: the message changed the past, arriving a week before he sent it. Okabe, founder of the Future Gadget Laboratory, understands now. The 'PhoneWave' is a time machine. The shadow of SERN, an organization conducting deadly human experiments, falls heavy upon them.*
