From time to time, a certain man in a white lab coat appeared in long red-haired woman's mind. She asked about that man to everyone she encountered. Yet, no one except her even have a memory of him.

"Okabe..."

With tears coming out of her eyes, she walked and walked until she bumped onto someone in the middle of a crossroad. As the sign's light approached red, she was pulled by that someone to a sidewalk.

"Mademoiselle, are you alright?"

When she looked up, she saw that he was a white-clad man with long layered blond hair, golden eyes, purple skin, golden jewelries, and golden elf shoes. On his face were two yelow lines with "DIO" written on them.

"I'm alright. Are you heading to an anime convention?"

That man turned his head from side to side.

"No, but let's hang out. Perhaps, in an amusement park."

"That's a great idea,"

She narrowed her eyes to him.

"as long as you won't do anything perverted to me."

"Of course. Kurisu, is it?"

"How do you know my name?"

"Well, I've read your publications about Neuroscience, at least."

"At least. So you know more about me then."

"You're a well known scientist all over the world, so I, DIO, would have known about it."

"DIO, is that your real name?"

"Correct. Did you think that I just wrote a fictional character's name on my face?"

"Anyone would arrive at that conclusion."

"But not those who knew of me."

"Alright. Let's hang out to a nearby amusement park. But how did you know that I like to hang out there?"

"Well, I saw you hanging out with Mayushii and a mad scientist."

Her enlarged eyes lit up.

"Mad scientist?! Do you also know about him?"

"Hm... Not exactly. But I heard him calling himself that, his process of making a time leap machine, and so on."

"What a talkative pervert!"

She folded her arms across her chest and turned her head away from him and to her side.

"Are you talking about me or him?"

"Both!"

"Anyway, it's not nice to leak secrets to just about anyone. Let's go!"

They strolled around and talked as they checked out the various shops around them from anime, to maid cafes to computers, to appliances, and anything that can be found in Akihabara, Japan. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of an amusement park with "Polnareffland" written on its top. For now, nobody was lining up to the cashier in front of them. At the cashier booth, there were posters all over it.

"Okabe and Mayuri took their pictures here as models for this amusement park."

"So he's that bloke with short black hair and suit. Too bad, his face isn't shown."

She pouted with red appearing on her face.

"Hoho. What if I change the future so that you're the one with him, instead of her?"

"P-Preposterous!"

"Come on, don't be shy."

"Hmph!"
