I am ERROR
Me, I wish I could recall if at some point we were told about their family situation. Are her parents married? Divorced? I don't remember at all.
I'm pretty sure this is the first time ever we hear anything about Hanashima's home life.
Unlike that one, the understanding is not quite mutual here, though, leading to the current situation.
To be quite blunt the current situation is due to Ran going weird for pretty nonsensical reasons that border on the gratuitous as far as writing goes. They were fucking like rabbits for the better part of Mari's last year in HS - y'know, when Edogawa actually should have kept her distance morally and ethically speaking - and NOW she suddenly develops reservations about "being in a student's home" (as Mari rightly points out she's not even her student anymore)?
That's pretty what. tier.
Got witnessed in flagrante delicto by the younger sister who's also one of her students? Yeah I can see how that'd feel pretty awks at school (and in general), but as a reason to stop showing her face in the club she's supposed to supervise never mind now breaking up? Yeah, no. That's puerile and downright ridiculous.
If Mari is treating the whole thing like some random caprice of Edogawa's, well, that's because it basically is.
If they are still married, it gives a whole new meaning to Mari's comment: "Me and mother have always been showing up with boys."
Would definitely like to hear some details. It already sounds like Eri and Mari have different fathers (not too unusual, and doesn't seem to affect their relationship any) and Mari refers to the parents in the plural, on the next page casually mentioning her mother regardless "showing up with boys all the time" (implicitly openly).
Now THAT definitely sounds like a bit unusual household.
Some kind of "open marriage" arrangement perhaps, or one of those marriages of convenience where the partners find their sexual and emotional fulfillment elsewhere?

^oh it's definitely Closure's doing. She clearly likes giving the toasters quirky ass personality matrixes.
...note that this also indicates that they're either A) fundamentally just glorified chatbots rather than "artificial people" making all this rather squicky Cargo Shipping when you start thinking about it, or B) if they're true "strong" AIs then they exist in a condition of abject slavery where their very minds and personalities can be erased or rewritten at any time at the caprice of their owners...
Pick your poison.
^tbf the obviously impractical stuff is mostly found among the range-tile Ops who as such needn't concern themselves with such considerations as much.
...and then you have like Astesia in her damn ballgown. le sigh
^AK-15 is basically just AK-12 in the older 7.62x39mm (the OG WW2-vintage Soviet intermediate cartridge, still widely used) while RPK-16 is the SAW derivative in the base 5.45x39mm (the Seventies-vintage successor)
^there's actually some irony there. She used to be stupidly sincere even about her bitchy streak (which got her into some trouble at least once) and that weird honesty made her strangely likable. Her separation from Sachi and the rest at the start of the third year however forced her to develop enough diplomatic regard for other people's feelings to bite her tongue and keep her mouth shut when necessary (witness her regular association with the Horrible Cooking Couple) - in effect engage in a degree of deception, seeing as she's hardly any less caustic on the inside. (Interesting comparisons can be made with Kuro's character developement here.)
So, in a sense, while she's grown up and been forced to learn some regard for others she's also lost her old childlike honesty in the process. (Seemed kinda relieved to be able to let her waspish tongue run free around Futaki who doesn't mind, tho...) Wonder if Sachi's picked up on that change, too?
