Togusa actually nods in understanding. "I would never ask anyone to put their family in danger for a police investigation. It's different when it's more than just you. I know. I'm not one of the officers with family, but we all have a tendency to watch out for the families of those who do."

"I'm sure there are other people who are willing to come forwards. This doesn't just rest on your shoulders." Togusa starts to stand up, he is assuming that Elda has changed her mind about speaking. He's not upset or even disappointed, maybe relieved that she would remember and prioritize her son in all this.
