Answer: Downcast

Explanation:

According to the English dictionary, downcast in relation to the eyes means "looking downwards".

Looking downwards(avoiding eye contact) is often times a sign of fear, submission or guilt and sometimes a show of respect.

Downcast bests indicates that Mami is acting in a stern, serious way because looking downwards(avoiding eye contact) is a perfect body language response to someone that is acting serious and rigid.
