Did they just change the facts that all memories will be erased? Then, what was the point of the experiment then to heal the subjects hearts?

They don't clarify if it is true or not, or if they lied, so I have no idea if it is a translation error or something else.

@SweatyBrie

They didn't change the facts.
This concern was with reversing the memory erasing only focused on Arata and Chizuru because of the connection they have. Everybody else's memories of them are erased in order to keep the company on the downlow and to avoid suspicion when the younger versions of the subjects disappear.
Since Arata and Chizuru are both Relife subjects, both already aware of the program, there should be no problem with allowing them to both keep their memories. However, since this is the first time they've had two subjects during the same experiment, how to possibly reverse the memory erasing effect was scientifically unknown.
The mediacal professionals at Relife are only partially certain that the memory erasing is irreversible. Everything was experimental, so they aren't certain what would happen until the end of the experiment.

Ryo's been learning how to give headpats with Arata, huh? e-e

@Rulibarri uh this is a pretty forced plot device, though. They must have some control over who gets their memory erased, or the ones involved in the project would be affected too. There's no reason other test subjects would be any different. In fact, I can't fathom technology that has such vague conditions. The pills are more or less acceptable, but this just really hurts my suspension of disbelief.

If they won't remember each other at the end of the experiment,

Spoiler

it's just like the ending of Your Name.
