[The lawyer took a deep breath, then. What the hell did they think they were, anyway?]
.....Ahem. Tomoe-san, please. Haven't you ever heard of that saying about stones and glass houses?
[And then he grinned, a cold edge to his smile, and took out a file.]
- I hadn't really planned to bring this out, but since you started this first...
...Hmmm, let's start with something simple, then. You own three small companies, and have part ownership of several more, but your tax filing seems to be quite, let us say, creative indeed. And as for -
[And outside...]

[Mami growled out, and then held her head, grimancing.]
- Your parents are idiots! The only company of theirs that actually makes money is the company my father made for them to manage the apartments and other buildings they inherited from their grandparents - Everything else just keeps bleeding their money away, but they wouldn't sell them no matter what my father used to say, and -

[A dark aura was starting to leak out of her. Makoto and Rukia looked at each other, and shuddered - Why had the air become so cold all of a sudden, anyway?]
- I liked Mitakihara so much more then I thought I would, but it's not the same, it's just not. Mother and Father would have been so disappointed...

[Mami's lawyer said with a cold smile.]
...You still do have quite a bit of wealth left, so - If you sold off the companies that were losing money, and perhaps some of your houses too, and got your daughters to go to more affordable schools, and just downsized your lifestyle in general - You probably could get out of debt in a couple of years.
