It’s heartbreaking that he left, thinking he was protecting her, and didn’t even know he had a child. His story shows how fear and uncertainty can make people make choices that unintentionally hurt the ones they love the most.

The contrast with Ho and the main character, who face their challenges together, really highlights that sometimes staying and confronting pain is the braver, more loving choice.
