The fandom assumes that Shintaro possesses the ability to rewind time, because there are two different versions of Shintaro in Lost Time Memory. Most likely both Shintaro's play in a different route of the story, HOW the time repeats is unclear though. In the world Azami created the time actually goes on like usually, the time when Hibiya and Hiyori kept on repeating was in her created time loop, but the time loop broke when Hibiya received his eye power, ending in Hiyori dying. The time loop breaks in the second novel, when they find Hibiya. So time goes on again.

How everyone died is already revealed. Kido was burnt in her house together with her sister after her father set a fire. Kano was murdered by burglars who robbed the house of him and who also killed his mother. Seto drowned in a river when he tried to save his pet dog. Mary was killed along with Shion in the scene of Imagination Forest but since Shion sacrificed herself for her daughter Mary was revived again. Momo drowned at the beach. Hibiya and Hiyori died in the time loop as you know and only Hibiya got out. Takane died when the city was destroyed and was turned into Ene. Haruka suffered a sudden stroke and lost his life and received Konoha's body when receiving his eye ability, that allowed him to change his body to fit his ideals. Ayano jumped off the top floor in order to get her own eye power. Shintaro killed Ene when he turned 18, then slit his throat open. Kenjirou died together with his wife Ayaka in a landslide.

Everyone beside Hiyori, Shion and Ayano were revived because of each of them died along with someone else. So in the actual plot they are alive again. You can read their deaths on their history pages.

In Summertime Record they say goodbye because after summer they probably have to get back to their usual lives. We will have to wait to see what exactly happens before that though.
