Вопрос. Возможно, глупый. И, возможно, содержащий спойлеры касаемо 13-й новеллы, которая, вроде бы, не вошла в аниме.

суть

В Википедии про Киджина говорится, что:
After proposing to the woman he loved, he received the rejection message "I can't stand beside someone with a face like yours." However, the message had really been sent by Reishin, who loved the same woman and eventually married her. On Reishin's wedding night, Hoju changed his name to Kijin (which everyone else already called him, as a nickname meaning "weirdo") and began to wear masks,
Как мы видим, имя этой женщины не упоминается.

Но в статье про Юри-химе, жену Рейшина, находим, что
Yuri-hime is Reishin's wife. She has only appeared in the gaiden and the 13th novel, which have not been animated. (...) She won the interest of Kijin Ko by being one of the few people who didn't faint on seeing his real face, which made him like her and ask her out on a date (via message to Reishin); at first she was uninterested, but Reishin persuaded her to go and then spied on them with the reluctant Yushun Tei.
Там же написано, что впоследствии Рейшин зарегистрировал с ней брак, правда, в довольно эксремальных собстоятельствах, и Ходжу, как и письмо про "я не смогу быть рядом с человеком, у которого такое лицо" там не упоминается:
Koyu wanted Yuri-hime to marry Reishin and become his mother; she was equally fond of Koyu and thought of him as her own child. Kuro, whom she had helped to raise from childhood, sent his encouragement for her to marry Reishin, but his letter became blurred and Yuri-hime mistook the message as 'please find Reishin a bride', so she joined Kogaro to find an ideal wife for him. Reishin ransomed Yuri-hime from Kogaro and registered her as his wife while she was only half-conscious.
При этом Рейшин везде подается как чуть ли единственный близкий друг Ходжу.

Вопрос: Была ли Юри-химе той самой женщиной, которая продинамила Ходжу?)) Если да, то почему они с Рейшином до сих пор друзья?))
