Mario was shocked because he thought that Triela could have been one of the girls he smuggled working for the Mafia in that very same city. Mario sent her a teddy because he was remorseful anyway, and he was grateful that Triela let her go to see her daughter (nevermind that she also saved his life). Do you imagine what might have happened if it was Rico instead? Mario would have needed a full body cast and a wheelchair to testify if he tried to scape from Rico.

Mario was sending his daughter gifts every year, so he knew where she was. Then why does Triela have only 6 teddy bears?. Unless you think she's 3 years old, she should have received one teddy from Hilsher every year since she entered SWC plus one teddy from her "dad" Mario since she was born. BTW you DO realize Triela and Hilsher are not real brothers, do you?

Hilsher didn't stop Triela from letting Mario go because he was still grateful for his help uncovering the children smuggling trade back then and he also trusted that Mario will testify. Not too professional, but he was more concerned about Triela than anything else. Probably he was happy that Triela did the "right thing" instead of blindly following orders, pretty much like he did years ago and lost his job

Take it as a warning, if you ever come across a girl named Rico carrying a violin case, run like hell

[spoiler] It was my understanding that Triela started receiving the Teddy Bears from her "brother" when she arrived at the institute. IIRC It has been mentioned that she has been there six years and her brother always gives her a Teddy Bear and never asks her what she wants for Christmas. He finally confessed that he doesnt know what to get her and thought little girls liked Teddy Bears. Triela was touched at his confession and was happy that he asked her what she wanted. Also I think Triela's brother listened in and didnt intervene because he himself had let Mario go and now Triela was doing the same thing. I took it to mean she was a thinking and feeling human being and not a machine like Rico. Rico will do whatever she is told. She follows orders. Triela can reason and think for herself.
