True but you have to remember that Rei and Takashi did truly love each other before this all happened, Rei only went to Hisashi to get Takashi jealous most likely. Saeko most likely wouldn't have gave Takashi the time of day to become a friend if the outbreak didn't happen, let alone to become a romantic interest.
