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.

Spoiler:

I think Mario is not Triela's father too. I was just making a point that if Mario was Triela's father, she should have received more gifts. Triela's independence might bring her into trouble in the future. It might even be the trigger for the sad and tragical ending GSG might ultimately have.

Spoiler:

Not only that, Mario pretty much said that while he worked for the Mafia in Amsterdam, he was precisely in *that operation*
