Some of the characters were added early on when it seemed likely they might have a significant relationship, or already had an established relationship that seemed like it might be explored later on. Like in the case of Kijima, he really seemed like he'd have a significant impact on Sasaki at the time he showed up and no one predicted his sudden death. That one can probably be removed. Sasaki's relationship with Hairu falls into the latter where it's been established that they've known each other for a while and worked together before, but like with Kijima, no one saw her death coming. Whether or not her relationship with Sasaki will be expanded on post mortem is ???.

Not sure where Donato stands. They also have somewhat of a significant relationship because he gives Sasaki personal advice, but their relationship seems mostly professional and their interaction scant.
