Happen to go down/run through some of Mikoto's bits in ML?

More or less the same shit, except if it were more express that it was female in the original universe (instead of a woman pretending to be a male).

In this instance, Okabe starts to feel bad for being the weird and somewhat insensitive guy he frequently is. Which was part of his whole character arc, IE: towards the end he stops being so.... Okabe.
