But is stated that, despite her gentle nature, it didn't make her "any less of a devil".

She was confronted by her childhood friend Yuuki of her actions, to which Yuuko told him about how scared she was that her husband would come to dislike her, but Yuuki scolded her for not explaining the true horrors of being a devil to her husband.
