She cheated on him, this episode made clear that there are no lies about the flashbacks, those are the genuine memories of the deceased.

However Decim failed to pay attention to the situation, in this episode we see a few more frames that make clear that Machiko regretted deeply what she had done.

The new girl was most likely correct in judging that it was a one time thing. Machiko lied when she said that she only married Takashi for his money and she also lied when she said that the child in her womb wasn't his.

It is therefore true that she sacrificed herself for the sake of his husband, and her sacrifice actually worked since Decim was fooled by it.


This leaves us with the bitter knowledge that between the two the one who mostly deserved to be reincarnated was Machiko, while Takashi was the one who ruined their relationship and ultimately caused the death of both. As Nona put it, he was a man incapable of trusting others, even if he hadn't heard Machiko's friends' gossip he would have eventually started suspecting his wife for other reasons.

Hmmm, why would you say that?


Anyway the interesting thing that emerges from this episode is that we can be ourselves arbiters. After watching the first episodes we all reached our own conclusions and we tried to decide what happened and who was at fault about what.

As we have seen in episode 2, Decim judgement was incorrect, how was yours?

I really really hope that the story will progress in the same direction now, so that it will be like a sort of detective story, but rather than trying to understand who is the murderer and why, we are meant to understand human situations, their emotions and their reasons.
