With the Time Leap Machine and the power of D-mail at his fingertips, solving crimes is like shooting fish in a barrel. He wears an alpaca suit that was handmade by Shiina Mayuri, the only person who knows who he truly is underneath, to conceal his identity when he fights criminals who threaten Akihabara.
One morning, as he was taking a nap to recover from battle fatigue, Makise Kurisu appears before him in mourning. All he can do is listen as she tells him the dreadful news.
Hashida Itaru: The Caged Bird Sings
Eventually, people who followed the thread began to lose interest, but Itaru wasn’t convinced this was the work of some troll. Utilizing his hacking skills and the support of his fellow lab members, Itaru manages to track down Chopstick Girl’s location.
Scenario by Naotaka Hayashi. Concept by Masahiro Yokotani.
Then they learn the news of Mayuri’s death. Grieving over the loss of her friend, Kurisu curses herself for not being able to prevent it.
Suddenly, her phone rings; it’s from her father, Makise Shouichi, who goes by Dr. Nakabachi in the public eye.

She was reborn as a girl because the Luka from another world line sent a D-mail to alter the past. Just like her biological change, there were various factors that altered the course of history and ultimately affected the present, with Mayuris death becoming an unavoidable part of fate as a result.

Scenario by Vio Shimokura.
On the night Hashida Itaru attended Comic Market, a thread was posted on the popular forum known as @channel. The thread was about someone named Chopstick Girl who was given a mysterious note at the convention. It seemed to contain a coded message, and Itaru tries to solve it along with other mysteries. When the memo is eventually decoded, Chopstick Girl posts a reply stating that she went to Akihbara to confirm the location of a bomb, but unfortunately, she is called a troll and leaves the thread indefinitely.
Makise Kurisu: Vermillion Soteria
When Makise Kuris finally completes the Time Leap Machine, a gadget with the ability to send memories into the past, Okabe Rintaro appears before her.

By the time Kurisu manages to get Okabe to explain the situation, Mayuri has already been kidnaped by the Rounders. They consult with Yukita Akiha, Faris NyanNyan’s father and a man of great influence, but they aren’t able to resolve their predicament.
