Just gonna try to think positively for a sec and assume the "fated" part includes the 1st bad ending so she could get reborn, realize her mistakes, and then try to make up for it and that the 1st life was her own little guide of how not to act and in the end she was fated to go back and for things to go good this time? So like technically they were fated to be together?
seems better idk, sleep deprivation sucks lol
