She manages to hide his corpse before Shuichi sees her in the kitchen and he apologizes for getting the wrong idea.
After their marriage, he seems to care about her, but she continues to love Gunpei even as a corpse. Their life together was happy, and even though they didn't burn with passion for each other, they were blessed with two kids (actually Gunpei's children, but Shuichi didn't know this).
