Annnd here we go to the part that Togusa had been avoiding, even though he knew this would come up. He shakes his head. "That I was less clear on, although we're prepared to accommodate whatever you need."
Read: it's a good thing that Togusa was saving up for that wedding that never materialized and he didn't go on a spending spree afterwards. Because he is doing this without Departmental approval so he can't hit the city up for money like they normally would for sub-contracting (or whatever you would call this?). Desperate times, desperate measures, indeed. But he keeps his expression as neutral as he can. No need to make Viktor feel guilty about it.
