She takes the offered seat, scowling at the nest of papers before turning her attention back to Togusa. As he reaches for one of the scraps, Mari has to fight to keep still. This is terrifying - something big enough to swallow them whole. He explains and she merely listens, because this is how it always goes. Togusa explains and Mariko moves - even if she's been feeling ineffectual.
Hitori says his Other is obsessing over this case and Mariko fixes him with a look 'So are you' echoing in her mind. For a moment, dread fills her but no...she's pretty sure he can hear that retort without her saying a word.
She should confess, that she's spoken to The Laughing Man - or at least, The Major did. However, she simply looks at the logo and thinks on it. Between the two of them, they likely could put together the whole case but she's almost allergic to Togusa's method to analysis much less having a simple conversation. Even with Tatsuo, on her best day - Mariko knows she would sooner bite her own tongue off than be so forthcoming. She hates it, down to the pit of her stomach.
