Canon
Satou and Shio met in an alley after Shio was abandoned by her mother. Satou asks Shio if she doesn't go after her mother, to which she replies no, as her mother's vase will break if she's around. Satou asks if this is love, Shio tells Satou that she wants her mother to live so that she can continue living too, and that this was not love. Shio tells Satou that her jar is empty but not yet broken, and tells Satou that he hopes her emptiness is filled with something that shines, and with that Satou fell in love with Shio, not feeling empty for the first time in your life. Satou takes Shio to apartment 1208 of his building, where she used to stay, but after the apartment's resident tries to suffocate Shio while she sleeps, Satou kills him and has lived with Shio there ever since.

After Satou meets Shio, she stops dating boys, claiming to have given her heart to someone else. She starts to have two jobs to get money and be able to pay the rent of the apartment where she lives with Shio, saying it is their castle, and Shio always stood at the door of the house while waiting for Satou to arrive, and at the end of the night, before going to sleep, they exchanged their vows. Because of the envy that Satou's boss feels for her popularity in her new job, she starts working overtime for days, and when she gets home, Shio is already asleep, this makes her feel like she's going to go crazy for not being able to spend a night time with Shio. After an unpleasant experience with her boss, she manages to solve her problem, but is left with a bitter feeling. When she arrives home and is greeted by Shio, the feeling soon passes and she feels the sweetness of her Happy Sugar Life again.

Satou is happy when she felt jealous of Shio after hearing her brother recite the vows she exchanged with Shio, as to her it meant that their love was true. This makes Satou anxious to return home to see Shio, but due to Satou being late, Shio had run off to look for her. Satou is afraid that Shio's brother has found her and taken her. When Satou finds an unconscious Shio, she kills the men who were harassing her and takes her home safely.

When Satou killed her friend Shoko, Shio begins to worry about her behavior, and is frustrated that Satou is keeping secrets from her and never tells her anything important and that Satou says she doesn't need to do anything, and from Shio's point of view that means that Satou didn't need her and that she was just a doll. Shio locked herself in a room and told Satou that she hated her, which makes Satou break down and despair that her life is meaningless without Shio. After a while, Shio goes to Satou and says that she wanted to work with Satou for a happy life, and Satou didn't feel the same way about working hard alone. Shio says she doesn't want to just smile and scream Satou's name anymore, because she's worried about her, and she wants to help Satou and protect her too, Shio hugs her and says that when they die Shio will be her accomplice. Satou is moved by her words and tells her the whole truth.

Because of Shio's brother, they intended to move out of town, on their last night in the apartment, they exchange vows, but this time they give each other rings and kiss. As they were both leaving, Satou realizes he forgot his wedding ring, and goes back to the apartment to get it. They try to leave the building, but Shio's brother stops them, and because Satou's aunt intends to burn the building down as their escape plan, they can't use the stairs. In the end, the two go to the ground floor, and the only way out that Satou finds is for the two to jump off the building and she uses her body to protect Shio from the impact.

When Shio wakes up in the hospital, her brother visits her and tries to console her, Shio smiles at him and says that she has been reborn, and that her love and happiness only exist within her, as if she and Satou were one at this moment. Shio doesn't know why Satou kept her alive, but she will keep thinking about it forever, and that she and Satou are together forever.

Fanon
SatouShio is a controversial ship due to their age difference, Satou being 16 and Shio being 8, in addition to Satou's obsessive behavior towards Shio. Some people prefer to interpret their relationship as something platonic, even though both have shown clear romantic feelings for each other.
