Epilogue

One month later, Rintarou is discharged from the hospital, and carries with him a number of lab member badges to give to people. The badge itself has the letters "OSHMKUFA 2010", after the names of the lab members. As he walks around Akihabara, he gives them to Ruka, Moeka, Itaru, Mayuri, and Feiris. Feiris still works at MayQueen+Nyan2, Ruka still takes care of the shrine, and Moeka is now working at the CRT TV Workshop with Yuugo. Afterwards, he comes to the Akihabara Radio Hall. When he watches the TV on his cellphone, Nakabachi is in an outrage over the fire on the plane, as it destroyed the A4 envelope he was carrying. Rintarou has only two badges left; one for himself, and one for Kurisu. He doesn't think they'll ever meet again, but is fine with it as long as she's still alive.

However, the two pass each other, and Kurisu wants to thank him for saving her. Rintarou talks to himself on the cellphone again, and when he calls her Christina, she claims that "Christina" and "Assistant" are not her names. This surprises both of them, because she's not supposed to have known any of those names in the current world line. Kurisu wonders why those names came to mind, and Rintarou then deduces that everyone has the Reading Steiner ability, and that they've only "forgotten" their memories. He welcomes her as Laboratory Member 004 and gives her the pin badge, claiming this is the path that Steins;Gate has taken.
