While Mario is willing to give it his all, he is not willing to let a family suffer like he did when his dad died.

The more time he spends with Celeste, the more he wonders if giving love a chance would be worth it. But he can’t stand the thought of leaving a family behind if he were to pay the ultimate price for the work he feels called to do.
