She realizes that it was all for her when Hououin Kyouma resurfaces again after she finds him. Angry words die on her lips when she sees that he’s been posting under the name labmem001 in the interim, and sees the way he looks so sad when he thinks no one’s looking.
“So…are you trans or what?” she finally asks one evening, and gets an exaggerated shrug in response.
“The question of my identity is so difficult that it’s even more complex than building a working means of time travel. I don’t think about it much.”
She looks at him—her?—and sees someone with so many identities and yet none at all. He juggles them effortlessly, but the minute someone asks him for an honest opinion from the real person building underneath the skin, he—she?—looks completely lost.
Clearly a chuuni, yes, but there are times when she—he?—states the most outlandish things looking serious (yes, Okabe is capable of that, surprisingly) that she almost believes her—him?—without question.
Okabe may not think about that, but he (or she) thinks about other things far too much. A selfish brat, she would’ve said, but seeing the way that he’s sacrificed so much and seems to have come out of the experience a hollow shell tells her the exact opposite.
“No wonder Luka-kun likes you so much,” she remarks, and he’s just taken a large gulp of Dr. P and is coughing helplessly now.
