Aaaalright, so.. 1. The way Kurisu talks at 16:00 onwards, it supports my earlier theory that is actually is a multiverse and the timelines exist simultaneously. She talks about what happens when this Okabe leaves this worldline. So I don't know how other commenters contradicted it. 2. That place out of time she's referring to and the "if you keep me on your mind I will exist everywhere/when" is almost 100% Plato's theory of forms, and the fact that we see the desolate dreamscape we saw in an earlier episode further supports my saying this exact thing at that point. 3. This is my personal opinion but Okabe has been more his true self with Mayuri than Kurisu. The Okabe-Kurisu relationship felt to me more cliche / by-the-numbers anime relationship and that's why I disliked it, because it seems impossible in the real world. But I respect waifuanons' differing opinions. 4. And now for something really important. Somehow they seem to be focusing on "I love you but I have to save Mayuri because..." because what? Because he's been trying to save her longer? Is that the deciding factor? Sunk cost fallacy? They want to focus on the romance and drama, but it's not about that. It's all about preventing dystopia. And I'll explain: Does the show expect Okabe and the viewer to decide on which human person is more valuable to them??? "I love X more so I'll sacrifice Y". Ridiculous. One life shouldn't be more or less valuable than another. We've already killed Feyris' father, Ruka's comfort, and Moeka's probably also in some dark abyss, not saved. There was very little discomfort when we destroyed these things because it was for the good of the world, oh, but now, Kurisu's "different" because she's cute and close to us and we value her more, and we conveniently put dystopia aside and move the goalposts. I'm a bit frustrated, as you can tell, but only because I'm really into the show. Okabe's already a killer. He can go with "Kurisu or dystopia". He can even go "I should not have disturbed time, I am not God, I will revert everything back even if it's bad for me." "Kurisu or Mayrui" is the worst dilemma in my humble opinion.

This one gets me every time with his Kyouma speech and Mayuri telling him he can cry now. I think I've seen this show 9 times now that's the one scene that still get's me teary eyed and feels like a big relief.
