I know you guys don’t directly read these comments to stay away from spoilers but if a mod reads this I wanted to just explain a little bit about this episode/timeline based on what Ben said at the start. Basically at the end of Steins;Gate, we see Okabe delete the first d-mail and therefore shifting to the worldline where Kurisu dies. In that episode he hits the delete button just before Kurisu jumps into the room to tell him she loves him, but by that point it’s too late. The reason she was slightly too late bursting into the room is because of the text message she sends at the end of this episode. I’m the timeline that episode 8 takes place in, that text is never sent, Kurisu comes into the room and tells Okabe she loves him and because of that he can’t delete the message and he ends up stuck in the timeline where Mayuri dies instead (which is why Daru mentions it’s Okabe’s fault he couldn’t go through with the deletion and is so annoyed at him for what he said in the cafe.) I’m pretty sure you guys got that by the time the episode was through but I always love talking about this episode. As Ben said, I don’t think it was planned during the original Steins;Gate but adding that little bit extra to explain what happened I think really adds to the whole story. It’s also interesting that if you think about it Kurisu literally pushed the button herself. I mean I know Okabe pushes the delete button but he can’t bring himself to send the d-mail so Kurisu needs to do if for him.

You think Okabe is sad and depressed when Kurisu is dead? Well he is 10 times more sad and depressed when Mayuri is dead. Without Kurisu he can still go on with his life, without Mayuri he cant.

Perhaps if he'd had Kurisu for longer it would be the same. Compare the time he had with each at this point. He's known Mayuri since childhood and they'd been inseparable since then.
