Done with Arika's route. Kiri eventually blows out all her feelings bottled feelings toward MC and confess to him, but in the end she let MC go for her kouhai and both MC and Arika sorts out their feelings to each other. It ends much better than Kiri's route, since the importance of the time capsule got downgraded and killed off early in the route, the main conflict gets resolved, and Arika herself got a special CG in the end. Although it's really strange that there is zero POV from her perspective even though it's her route, hell, if I completely focused on Arika and ignore Kiri when she blows up, the route ends as if it was a bad end (no credits) even though it arguably ends happier than the proper end since MC is not being indecisive and not prolonging the love triangle drama between them. Then again, POV change would reveal the small twist in the end (Arika already knows that Kiri loves MC even before she hooks up with MC so I understand why the writer do not write Arika's POV in her own route. Good experience overall.
