Canon
Haruko and Saki are wives who met each other through an online LGBT twitter community. The first time we see the two of them is while Haruko was helping renovate the Lounge alongside Utsumi. Saki came by to bring her some refreshments and to make sure she stays hydrated. Haruko also gets protective of her and tells her to be careful with creepy old men. After she goes away, Tasuku asks her if Saki was her sister, to which she casually and confidently replies that she is in fact her wife. Tasuku tells her that she's lucky and right afterwards he starts to imagine himself interacting in the same romantic way Haruko and Saki were interacting with Tsubaki, which helps him realize he has a crush on Tsubaki, confirming he's sexuality, that he's also gay like Haruko and Saki. When Haruko returns home she can't stop thinking about Tasuku and his conflict, as she receives the good news on the legalization of gay marriage in the US. As a very exhausted Saki approaches her, Haruko starts sharing her experience with Tasuku, but gets interrupted by Saki when she asks her if she just came out to "some kid" in the spur of the moment. Saki gets upset with Haruko about this and leaves.

The next day, while Tasuku and Haruko are working at the Lounge, Tasuku asks about Saki and Haruko's relationship again. Tasuku shily asks her if they are living together and Haruko asks him to keep Saki's sexuality between them. As she starts realizing his reaction, she decides to show him the gay twitter community where she and Saki met. She tells Tasuku all about how she left her job, where she was sexually harassed by her boss and had a tense relationship with her coworkers because of their assumption that she was straight, and the constant pressure they put her through to get married and have kids. After she finally gets fed up and comes out to her coworkers, she starts finding it hard to work there and ends up leaving, which is when she meets Anonymous and starts working in the Lounge. She also reminisces on her dreams to one day build a house, marry Saki and spend her life with her. As she was talking about this with her friends in the Lounge, Saki overhears Haruko say that being open about her sexuality is just her "being nice to [herself]," which Saki interprets as criticizing her for not wanting to be out as a lesbian, which she says it's not an easy thing to do at all. Later, as they eat ice cream. Saki shares her feelings with Haruko as they reconcile, telling her she really wants to come out, but that she's scared. And after Saki promises to find the courage to come out when she feels safe to do so, she tells Haruko she also wants to marry her. The two of them then unite their foreheads together and share an intimate moment that shocks Tasuku again.

After some months, as Tasuku and Haruko were working in the Triangle Manor, the house they were both repairing, and that Haruko told Tasuku that he can choose what to do with, Tasuku tells Haruko that they can use the house to hold her wedding with Saki in it. Later in the day, in Saki's family-owned bar, as Haruko was thinking about Tasuku's request, Saki's dad approaches her and asks her to find his daughter Saki a "smart, upstanding guy". Deeply affected by this, Haruko tells him she won't do it, excusing herself saying that she can't "just hand over a girl as nice" as Saki. After they leave the bar, Saki stares at Haruko, worried for her as she walks away. And as Haruko thinks about marriage again, Saki grabs her from behind, in a soft, intimate moment. Later in the night, Saki goes to the Triangle Manor, admiring the place. And when Haruko asks her if they'll get married there as soons as possible, Saki, getting close to her and softly playing with Haruko's hair, tells her that she's been thinking about their future, and realized that she has to make a decision to marry her sooner or later.

During the holiday season, both of them spend time at the Lounge arranging decorations. One night, when Haruko comes home, she finds Saki lying on a beanbag, with her face hidden against it, in complete darkness. Haruko turns on the light and starts getting worried thinking she's sick. However, Saki tells her that her father finds out she's a lesbian before she could tell him, crying uncontrollably. The next day, both of them decide to go to Saki's parent's bar, to talk directly with them. After hearing his dad's feelings on the matter, and how he didn't want to admit his daughter was gay at first, he tells them that whatever they want to do, he'll support them. Haruko grabs Saki's hand from under the table and she firmly tells her parents that she's going to get married to Haruko. Haruko then tells them that she wants to be Saki's partner forever. And Saki's dad keeps talking about his feelings, her mom interrupts him and tells them both how she's relieved she is that the both of them trusted them and told them about their relationship, and that she kind of knew about it.

The day of the wedding, the both of them spend a beautiful day at Triangle Manor, alongside all of their loved ones, their parents and their friends in The Lounge.
