Part 95: The Time Leap Machine is activated
"Don't move!"
"That's my line."I finally realize the meaning of Suzuha's ambiguous words.
42. TV. Turned on.
She means the 42" Braun tube TV downstairs.
Basically...
I look towards Mayuri's corpse. She's laying quietly. Closed eyes. Never to open again.
One of the attackers Suzuha knocked out starts to moan. If the attacks wake up, it'll be impossible to move.
Suzuha looks at me again. Pleading eyes.
But if I fail, my memories could very well be destroyed.
If I fail? What am I hesitating for? Mayuri's dead. Killed. Like hell I can accept this absurd reality.
I'll change it.
I'll change this reality.
If I have a way to change it, I'll use it!
I have a way to change it, so how could I not use it...!
Kurisu's about to put on the headgear. I pull it away from her.
"Okabe...""I'll leap...!"
"No, I will--"I grab Kurisu's wrist as she tries to take it back. I stare at her with wet eyes.
"I will save Mayuri."
"But! If you fail--"
It looks like Moeka's last shot grazed my ear. One of my ears is stunned and can't hear anything but ringing. There's blood on my neck, but I don't mind it.
I might fail, but I have to try. This is all I have to save Mayuri. Kurisu bites her lip and starts setting up the X68000.
"Kill them, don't let them use it!"The crew-cut man staggers into the development room.
I push the switch. My vision turns white. I can't see anything. I can't tell anything.
"Kill them!"
"Kurisu?!"
"Ugh, gh, Okabe!! Is this really okay?! Are you okay with time leaping?! Are you?!""Do it, Kurisu! Activate the machine!"
Was I shot? Like I give a shit.
The discharge phenomenon is starting!
The bluish-white light grows more extreme. My feet shake intensively. The ring singularity opens.
I push down the headgear with one hand and crouch.
I won't die...!
I'll cross through time to save you...!
So... wait for me!
Tremendous shaking.
Leap, my memories... Leap to the past...
Right after I scream, the world is blown away...
