Steins;Gate - the all-perfect worldline - utopia of the future. All mankind united, no more diseases, no more hunger-pains, bloodshed no more - war no more. All plaques of mankind eventually cleansed - the Promised Land come real.

With no need for military research all available resources went to further improve the climatic conditions, to emend the damage done to nature and environment and to finally rectify the mistakes of the past - of the impure centuries - as they now were referred to. And then: The big boom of science - everybody working together not to trump each other but to make earth a better place, to make living more worthwhile. To implement the utopia religion always preached, this time with no strings attached or conditions unfit of any god-brought world.

The technological change came like a cleansening rain washing away pollution of any kind and gratitude. For men it seemed like the awakening from a nightmare to a reality so pure and perfect one wouldn't ever dare to dream again.
For all but one. The One. A man with the ability to switch between the lines. A might referred to as Reading Steiner. Because of this ability - he had seen it all.

Seen a girl of 16 years meet her end time after time after time - always exactly the same moment - to the smallest digit imaginable.

Seen a woman throw away her life serving a puppeteer dangling from other's strings, loathing her own existence chasing after a phantom her broken mind held onto with all it's might and desperation.

Seen an daughter traveling times having fled from life forsaken to life forsake - never to aquire a normal daughter's existence - vacating herself for a greater good never to actually come.

And seen a girl forced to kill her own father for the sake of her onesided love - never to receive her feelings returned.

These are but examples for everything the One has seen - has lived through on his own end. There were more. Many more. And to make it all right - as it was promised to him - he changed things. Time and time again, enduring pains unimaginable and truly suffering alone.
But now for what? 5.7 billion people didn't die in a world war. 5.7 billion people didn't fear under a surveillance state. 5.7 billion people weren't her.

And now the drops started tapping on his shoulders - on his body - on his soul. A rain made up of a whole world's tears of gratitude, a rain to cleanse the pollution not only from the environment, from nature, but from every being walking on it's surface, breathing it's air and feeling it's warmth.

"Steins;Gate. This rain... It feels like it cleans everything. Everything" the last word barely murmured, thoughts coming to a halt

'Everything but the polution in my heart.'

And in his mind he concluded the actual meaning of these words.

'Why? Why did this happen? Didn't I do everything - everything for this world to happen? All I did now seems so meaningless.'

"I will change it all, Kurisu - I promise!"

And as he finally turned from the grave he frequented for the about 17 years his eyes skimmed over the inscriptions on the stone for the last time.

Hey everyone. I haven't updated any of my stories in over a year and now I'm starting with yet another. I can imagine some people to be angry with me but seriously, my storys are not all on hiatus. Update's will eventually come. And for the moment, I hope you enjoy reading this here as much as I enjoy writing it. Short chapter, I know. But I'm just getting started. You'll see. Have fun.
