I was a little bit late, so I won't leave a comment under the chapters, I'll comment here.
This was...heart-wrenching. To say the least
Thanks for the translation.
Because it's short, and it's more like compilation instead of series. I think another one I've seen with alternative ending is the one with little girl and loan shark.
Ah yes I remember the loan shark and girl. Aaah why isn't the alternate ending the cannon ending... At least in this one it shows it as two separate cannon endings so we can be happy with the happy one but that one just straight out put the alternate ending as a bonus chapter...
@Tcof I think the narrative structure is a framing for a simple cautionary tale. The message being "Don't take the future for granted, so take action now". The 'redo' allows a simple 'this is what your life is like when you do a' vs 'this is what your life could be like when you do b' contrast. It's a bit of a throwback to moral fable style storytelling. That is the point of the 'route'.
