I think it's both time slip and alternate realities, or "what-ifs?"
First time : she doesn't confess. They drift apart after graduation. A-chan makes kids with men and manipulates her into taking care of them.
Second time : she confesses. She goes out with A-chan for a while, but A-chan eventually cheats on her with a guy (ie, doesn't take their relationship seriously). New time slip : she's now going out with her co-worker and the kids don't exist.
Rinko gets to see the consequences of her choices with the time slip.
So, what's the solution to be happy?
This explanation reminds me far too strongly of Qualia the Purple, lol.
stop her from leaving entirely and trap her in her house with nowhere to go for 15 yrs
jk maybe stop her from feeling like she has to become a doctor and live up to others' expectations. stuff like that.
