Ezra spent his entire life putting his family first. He consistently places his family first, no matter what. He is "more than willing to sacrifice everything" for his family because he cares about them so much, especially his younger sister Kennedy. He devotes everything to it, including his life if necessary. He never once made a personal choice that would have an impact on his family. Until suddenly Austin, someone from Ezra's past, appeared the individual who progressively altered Ezra's viewpoints.
