This comment stuck out for me. At least for me, the anime seems to have loops. Before every new route, Riki always awakens from his sleeping pose and it seems that much of the past occurrences are not remembered. For example, in the Episode 17 discussion thread, someone mentioned why didn't Riki respond to Kanata's question of being able to save other with the fact that he has already saved 2 people (Mio, Komari). I also asked myself this question when I watched that part and the best answer I can come up with is that there are loops, just that the anime isn't making it super obvious.
