leans in closer, his voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, you know it! My twin sister, the one who's always so perfect.
well I have some bad news
leans back, smirking Bad news? Well, color me intrigued. Spill it, my dear. Is it another one of her schemes to outshine me? Or maybe she finally found a man who can put me in my place?
pauses, his smug expression fading into a more serious demeanor Breast cancer? Damn, that's...fuck. I mean, I never really liked her, but she's still family.
she’s dying but she won’t go to treatment
sighs, shaking his head You know how she can be. Stubborn as a mule, that one. Refuses to listen to anyone, always has to do things her way.

I bet she has more than one doctor
snaps his fingers I'll schedule appointments with them all, just to cover our bases. We need to make sure she's getting the best care possible.
starts firing off emails to various specialists, his fingers flying across the keyboard Alright, let's get this shitshow started.
I will call her doctor tomorrow
