Aoko is a perfectionist with a huge sense of responsibility. Had magic and never used it for almost 2 years because she takes personal responsibility that seriously. She tries to kill Soujuurou because she's a strong believer in cleaning up her own mess, but then she saves her life, leaving her morally obliged to keep him, and their relationship until it reaches the point where she breaks her self-imposed taboo on magic to irresponsibly revive him. A rash that gets immediately called out by Touko and that Aoko will spend her immediate future trying to solve.
Alice is a girl who clings intensely to everything she has because she lost so much on a personal level and lives through her identity as a witch, which is a race that also lost so much with the changing times. In getting to know Soujuurou, she found someone she didn't want to lose. Aoko, however, is a best friend she fought to the death before and believes they'll inevitably fight to the death again.
And Soujuurou is an upstanding guy who wants nothing more than to adapt to a world he still doesn't know. He's honest and principled, refusing unfair advantages to the point that his first reaction to being revived is to try to die again because it's not right that he can die and come back. He needed Alice to warn him that it would be a waste of time to stop him from committing the act without a second thought.
So imagine what happens if Soujuurou is fatally injured again. He'll come back alright. He can't die from that because he's only fated to die in the year 1651651236615635651 or something like that. It's just like how Ciel can't die because she's Roa and Roa is proven alive. The world doesn't let this contradicting go through. Soujuurou won't be happy with the discovery. He will ask Aoko to let him be normal and die when he should. Aoko's sense of responsibility would force her to agree. Alice would be violent against it. Aoko vs Alice finale. Aoko wins and Soujuurou's wishes are respected. The end.
Soujuurou needs to die in 1990. It's the natural payoff Mahoyo built itself to.
