The Sibling SubPlot

Do you have siblings?
What would you do for them?
I mean, I'm not talking Dean Winchester die for your brother here, obviously because well...calm down; I just mean, how far would you go for your sister or your brother?
I think that you have to have siblings to know how it feels to be able to hate somebody's guts and love them at the same time. Siblings have the unique privilege of knowing how to push every single button you ever imagined having without fear of consequence.
Consequence being they are canceled forever.
Perhaps it's because in addition to sharing blood ties, you also share the trauma of growing up together. The common experience of surviving your parents, relatives, school, whatever it is, just builds a bond that is difficult to break underneath all the bullshit of stolen clothes, gifts or significant others.
Siblings are forever.
Nadia and Amina have a shared traumatic experience which  defined their relationship going forward. The layers of emotional trauma that it brought about certainly did not help the pursuit of happiness for either of them.
I mean, can you relate or can you relate?
I guess we'll see, right?
