The story takes place a year after Okabe himself reached the world line of the Destiny Stone Gate. It is really reasonable and not dead, and Kurisu was not killed. It is a world without time machine and D-Mail, and time thinks according to the established rules. There will be neither a turnaround nor a change in the future, and there will be no other world lines.
This is the world line that Okabe expects to miraculously reach in the countless world lines that repeat shrinking and expanding. However, Okabe’s existence on the world line of Destiny Stone’s Gate is already very elusive. He hesitated about the burden caused by the memory of other world lines. He could no longer stay in this world line. He escaped from the bounds and redness of justified death. The only world line where Risu died, so it was more unstable than other world lines and was shaken, so it became like Okabe had never existed in this world line.
In order to save Kurisu Kazuya, Okabe tried countless times until he succeeded. As long as time can be traced back, Okabe will certainly do so, but this will only increase grief. In the past The slightest change will have an impact on many other things. It is absolutely impossible to change the past as you wish. To save a person will lose one, turn the hard-to-achieve wishes into nothing, and uproot the feelings that have been deep in your heart. Even if I did it so thoroughly, I couldn’t achieve the changes I wanted. I could only continue to face the inescapable reality, countless times, countless times, Okabe shouldered the responsibility of all these sacrifices, and even so, I had to keep repeating it. In the process, the mind continued to wear away, and gradually lost the fear of being a person's feelings. Okabe didn't want anyone to repeat the pain, and resolutely chose to disappear.
However, the illusion-like feeling of sight is a trace of Okabe's existence, which is deeply imprinted in everyone's memory. Because of this, Okabe cannot be ignored. Kurisu went back to the past against Okabe's wishes and saved the boy who was confused about the future.

Steins;Gate: The Movie - Load Region of Déjà Vu quotes

  • Rintarou Okabe: Time-leap machines and time machines should never be built! Even if you can figure out how to do it, you should never ever build one!

    Kurisu Makise: If I don't do something, you'll vanish. You will never have existed... I have no choice but to change the past!

    Rintarou Okabe: And what if you fail? What if it doesn't go well? The answer is simple. You do it again. You keep going back to the past until you succeed. As long as they have the means to go back in time, that's what people will do.

    Rintarou Okabe: But it'll only increase the suffering. A change in the past will always affect something else. It will never change in a way that's convenient for you. If you save someone, you will lose someone... Dreams you finally fulfilled won't exist anymore. Your long-held desires will be snatched away, eradicated... and when the change you hoped for doesn't happen, you will have to keep facing that inescapable reality again and again, again and again!

    Rintarou Okabe: Do you realize the pain of continuously repeating all of that while bearing the responsibility for all of those losses? Do you understand the fear of losing your humanity after it wears you down?

    Kurisu Makise: But...

    Rintarou Okabe: Even if you have the means, the past ust not be changed. You must not turn chance into reality.

    Rintarou Okabe: No one knows the future. It's because the past cannot be undone that people can accept all sorts of pain, adversity, and cruel accidnets, yet still move forward.

    Kurisu Makise: The what are you going to do, Okabe? You're going to disappear! I... I saw it... A world where you don't exist. A lab with only Mayuri, Hashida, and me... Where nobody remembers you... It was crueler than death! Any mark or meaning of your existence will disappear!

    Rintarou Okabe: ...I don't care.
