Michi is a good, responsible owner of her new puppy. :D
And Masaki is... interesting. Seeing how she stopped going to school and is very, very interested in Michi, she may know something relevant to the story as well.
It would be so much easier for them if Hario was a bad husband, indeed... And they're both so dangerously close to their feelings just exploding, the way they both keep holding them in.
I like that he is not a bad husband because it goes to show that no matter how good the man is it just doesn't work if you are gay, he can be more tolerable, even lovable to the point you confuse friendship with romance but in the end what the girls have here is something different entirely. It shows it's really not a choice or a matter of finding one that's ok, because if it were Hario would be it.
It's shown very clearly when Ema says: "I chose well" finding a husband was simply a choice for her because in the Ed she tough she needed it and chose the option that she would think best, like someone chosing a new dress
