Canon
In Danganronpa 3: Despair Arc, Sato was seen to be very protective of Mahiru. She didn't want her to get hurt and would do anything to protect her, even going as far as to kill Natsumi. Sato was eavesdropping on Hajime and Natsumi's conversation, and slammed her hand on Hajime's desk and told Natsumi not to plot something against Mahiru. Mahiru walks in and tries to stop the two from arguing, but Natsumi ends up insulting Mahiru and asking her if she came here to mock the talentless people in the Reserve Course. Sato gets very upset at this but then Natsumi threatens to kill her. Sato tells her that she is an awful person for trying to bring down Mahiru just for trying to get into the Main Course. Throughout all this, Mahiru seemed very scared and held onto Sato. Mahiru finally gets them to stop by going in front of Sato when Natsumi was about to punch her. They leave the classroom and Sato tells Mahiru that she needed to protect her and that she was the hope of everyone in the Photography Club. She says she is confident that Mahiru's photos will someday spread around the world and Mahiru blushes at that comment. Mahiru remembers that it was her turn to make lunch and showed it to Sato. Sato says she looked forward to it. Sato ends up killing Natsumi and tries to hide it. She talks to Mahiru about the situation and admits that she did want to kill Natsumi to protect her, but still hides the fact that she did kill her. Mahiru apologizes but Sato tells her that she shouldn't. Mahiru ends up believing everything she has said.

In Twilight Syndrome Murder Case, Mahiru said she wanted to talk to Sato, and Sato assumed that she was going to confess her love to her. But instead, Mahiru wanted to show a picture to Sato. It was a picture of a broken flower vase in the classroom next to the music room, and she figured out what the sound of breaking glass actually was. She figured out that Sato was the culprit Mahiru decided to clean up the evidence by erasing the picture she took. Sato admits to her crime and told Mahiru that Natsumi had been giving her trouble and she couldn't stand that she had been using her parents' status to bully others anymore. When Sato died, Mahiru ended up crying.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of Sato being very protective of Mahiru and just caring for her a lot in general. A lot of people also think about the fact that they have died in the same way.

The ship is not very popular, although it is not considered a rarepair.
