It takes a second, and Togusa looks up at Tatsuo, blinking a few times while the words sink in. And the silence is broken by absolute peals of laughter from Togusa. He holds up a hand to try to say 'wait wait' as he keeps laughing until he gets his breath back. "You two. Are perfect for each other. Absolutely damn perfect."

The laughter and incredulity does more to shake the machines' grip on Togusa than anything else. The fears and anxiety about cyberization and what might come to Mariko in time? It can all start to fall away. She's going to be okay.

"It is what it is. I know by now that I've gotten- everything I will. Togusa stayed largely organic." A loose shrug of one arm.
