Though they were often at odds, Saki has stated that their arguments were also a form of affection. They were among the last to graduate from [[Harmony School]]. Satoru has behaved very protectively of Saki throughout the series. During their capture by the Ground Spider colony, they had engaged in sexual intimacy, though not intercourse. When they escaped to the Robber Fly colony, Saki was able to restore his [[Cantus]], which he used to attack the Ground Spiders with Saki acting as his back-up pair of eyes. After the first timeskip and Shun's death, the two formed a duty pair upon realizing that Ryou was not the one they both fell in love with. After Maria and Mamoru had left the village, Satoru acted Saki's pillar of strength after she lost her best friend and lover.

When the town came under attack by the Queerats and the [[Messiah|Fiend]] and they encountered the mutated Queerat that spewed gunpowder, Saki and Satoru had used their Cantus to save each other rather than themselves. In Tokyo, Satoru chose to go with [[Kiroumaru]] when they had to split up, believing that Saki would be safer with [[Inui]]. He had also volunteered to carry the Psychobuster with the intention of sacrificing himself if the need arose. When he threw the Psychobuster at the [[Messiah]] after their plan failed, he knew that he would end up infected as well. However Saki burned the Psychobuster, as she couldn't bear the thought of losing her last remaining friend, and be the sole survivor of Group 1. At the end of the series, Satoru and Saki are married with a child on the way. Both were certain that by the time that their child was born, their society would be become much better. |
