In the original _Steins;Gate_ episode 23 (after the events of _Steins;Gate 0_
), it is understandable that Suzuha didn't mention the destruction of
Nakabachi's paper because she already knows that Okabe must fail the first
attempt to save Kurisu. After that, she mentions about it in the second
attempt.

However, in _Episode 23 (β)_ , no second attempt is planned, therefore she
should mention it from the beginning, right?

Why didn't Suzuha mention the destruction of Nakabachi's paper (stolen from
Kurisu) in _Episode 23 (β)_?

Why didn't Suzuha mention the destruction of Nakabachi's paper in Episode 23 (β)?


Since episode 23β is a prequel, Suzuha knows nothing of the plan. So either
she simply doesn't know to bring it up, or she doesn't even know that
Nakabachi's paper is the cause of World War 3.

Suzuha's quest to go back in time and make Okabe save Kurisu is almost
identical to Okabe's trip to save Kurisu.

The events likely plays out as follows. Disclaimer, some of this is
speculation:

In an attempt to stop World War 3, Suzuha goes back in time to make Okabe save
Kurisu. This is episode 23β. The attempt fails and the events of Steins;Gate 0
begin.

However, there is one important thing: **_The past must not be changed._**

Okabe is told to trick himself into thinking Kurisu is dead so that it doesn't
change the events in the original Steins;Gate prior to episode 23.
