In one of the photos in the photo album, it is written under that Basil says that they look so happy together, a match made in heaven. Their friend group is shown to ship them, as their friend group knows that they are in-love. In the dreamworld, Mari is shown to be very flirty to Hero, which leaves Hero as embarrassed or shy. In a scene, Hero cries on the piano keys, whispering Mari's name since he still misses her so much. Mari would often hide bugs in Hero's desk at school.
