I tend to assume, judging by some of the interactions we do see on screen, there were things going on off screen as well.

Sayuri and Matsuko are never shown together before the Inn, yet were willing to jump Mei together, as were Kenzou and Yukito.

Yumi's brother is never shown yet his death is what caused her to fly off the handle, so again, we can assume they're close.

Kouichi and Takako never speak, but when he hears her attacked, he shouts her name and is the first to go try to help her.

I assume Aya thanked him at some point off screen.
