| 1 | (Enter: Chapter 6, first time the Divergence Meter appears onscreen) | |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | O: (I realize that there's a strange object sitting on the table in front of me.) | |
| 4 | "...What's this?" | |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | S:"A divergence meter. The numbers indicate the divergence value of the current worldline." | |
| 7 | (The meter displays "0.337187%".) | |
| 8 | "Divergence is measured from my original worldline, which corresponds to zero." | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | O:"You made this?" | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | S:"No, I brought it with me from 2036." | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | O:"These are Nixie tubes, right? Whoever made this has taste. I'd happily dub it Future Gadget No. 9." | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | K: "How exactly does it work? It shouldn't be possible to measure changes like that." | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | S: (Suzuha shrugs) | |
| 19 | "I don't know either." | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | O: "You don't know!?" | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | S: "Can you guess who made it?" | |
| 24 | (How should I know?) | |
| 25 | "You did, Okabe Rintaro." | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | O: "Huh?" | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | S: "You made it, umm... 11 years from now. It apparently works the same way as your special power does." | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | O: "Huh..." | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | K: "So this meter lets other people check worldline divergence?" | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | S: "I wish." | |
| 36 | "I'm pretty sure only Okabe Rintaro would notice if the number changed." | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | K: "What? Then there's no point. Make something useful for once, Okabe." | |
| 39 | (I ignore Kurisu's complains and look back at the meter again) | |
| 40 | (This is something I made) | |
| 41 | (Fifteen years have passed since I completed it) | |
| 42 | (Eleven years will pass before I complete it) | |
| 43 | (It's a strange feeling) | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | - | ...(switches to discussing Okabe being dead in 2025) |
| 45 | + | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | O: "Have you met me in the future?" | |
| 48 | (She did say I was an infamous terrorist in 2036) | |
| 49 | (For some reason, Suzuha's expression darkens momentarily.) | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | S: "...No. Never," | |
| 52 | ||
| 53 | O: "Oh..." | |
| 54 | "So, why are you showing me this?" | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | S: "When the meter reads over 1%, you've made it to the Beta worldline." | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | O: "1%..." | |
| 59 | ||
| 60 | S: "Right. Reach 1% divergence, and you save Shinna Mayuri." | |
| 61 | (I stare at the glowing red numbers. They don't budge.) | |
| 62 | (Just another 0.6%... it seems so easy) |
