It's not something that's delved too deeply into, as it's just another step in the ongoing mystery that is Ray's' past, but it also adds to the family dynamic that's being built throughout these early episodes, which is something I rather enjoy. Stuff like Rena being a student that relies on her brothers to help her out, or establishing that Uncle, not not exactly poor, isn't super well off either.

Oh right, so this was the episode that hinted about the Iskandar parents' absence, meaning Rena and Randy are technically adopted as well. I think this shows another reason why Ray is so worried about anything happening to his siblings and uncle, since he's already lost so much of the Bramasakti-Iskandar family and he wants to protect those who are still left. His suspicions about VUDO's and Mikhail's involvement also give him a long-term motivation to find out the truth, as it's kind of ambiguous what happened to either set of parents. Yeah, Ray's been through a lot in his childhood.
