Well, I carefully watched episodes 1 and 2 and I think Decim's vedict was the correct one, Nona obviously thinks so, she only reprimanded Decim when he jumped in to apologize for his error. Nona seemed intrigued by Chiyuki's input and, by proxy, infuence over Decim's afterthoughts.

Near the end of the second episode, when Nona was in the elivator; she recalled that specific memory when Takashi overheard the hags talking and commented that "That wasn't a mere misunderstanding.. That was a man who couldn't trust anyone, he had no chance of finding happiness", Whether that statement refers to his condition being a by product of his wife's infidility or simply it is who he is isn't made clear. She later revised her previous evaluation of Chiyuki and sternly says that she has a long way to go. Implying that Chiyuki's view/perception over the case isn't complete and therefor lacking.

One thing was made clear though, Takashi's life with his wife up to the time of his death was a torment and the fact that his wife kept engaging in her affair throughout her marriage/honeymoon is suggesting that she was selfishly indulging herself regardles of her emotional state after each deed. (late night calls and the time when she received that call that caused the accident are evidence enough).

Also, taking into consideration the results of the dart game, each location they inflicted pain upon seems to be a reflection of the results of their deeds, Takashi was out of breath (lungs), suffered a broken heart (his hear), blind sided (eyes). While the damage dealt to Machiko by Takashi reflects burden(?) (shoulder) and pregnancy (stomach, implying that the child could truly be actually be Takashi's).

All in all, regardless of Machiko's actions at the end and whether she intentionally tried to lift Takashi's burden or not, Takashi was a mess, while she stayed relatively collected until the end, either implying that she understands the results of her action or is simply indifferent, not sure. Remember, throughout the episode Decim implied that Machiko was the "Winner" of the game, if that was the case then in her mind she was going to someplace good while Takashi is going to someplace bad, if that's the case, would you be fine with sending someone you love to "hell" and add all that trash talk to his burden?
