Yeah, good points. This now smells a lot like "every time s/he confesses s/he dies" or some other sort of doomed love cycle.
... I'm a bit reluctant though as if that's the case and Riri does remember, well, she's not exactly pushing him away, is she? Normally I'd expect an element of denial for a story that repeats cycles; here she seems in principle to be fine to go along with whatever Ooma wants out of their relationship.
