I like how Jinx is clutching his own tail as if for comfort. Something that bugs me a little is... wouldn't Marie have overseen Mana's judgement?
She's probably one of the only people here who's actually met her... though admittedly that's going to have been a fair time ago.
I think since volume 1 Jinx has hugged his tail. It's the best. He's the best.
I believe Marie had her deity, Fade, tailing Mana for a time before RE started (for how long and why is unknown), up until he was used for the entrance exam and later squashed by Jake. Marie had some interest in Mana, but not enough to not immediately inform Altair about her. I wonder why...
