After Daru upgrades the Phone Microwave, Okabe proposes a simple test of whether a D-Mail can change history: he sends Luka the winning numbers for an upcoming lottery. The transmission causes the same powerful disorientation Okabe experienced after reporting Kurisu's death. When he recovers, the other lab members do not remember conducting the experiment. Luka did receive the numbers and bought a ticket, but an error in Okabe's message led him to select one incorrect digit. The failed jackpot still proves that the past changed. Okabe concludes that the transmission moved him onto a different “world line,” replacing events and everyone's memories except his own. He names this unique retention of prior timelines Reading Steiner. Suzuha's remarks and John Titor's explanations support the idea that multiple possible histories converge or separate according to divergence. Titor tells Okabe that crossing beyond one percent divergence could prevent SERN's future dictatorship and calls him a potential savior. The grand language appeals to Okabe's persona, but the experiment establishes a sobering fact: even a small message can rewrite reality, and he alone may be left carrying memories of what was erased.
