So I'm thinking about making a proper story with actual planning cuz yh!

And I'm now stuck on the idea on whether or not I should make

The MCs be twins or
Make it seem to twin pov but instead the twin(a) just imagined twin(b) was still alive but was actually dead??

Psh, you do both by making Schrödinger's twin.

When you don’t observe them, they’re alive.

When you observe them, they’re not alive and in your imagination.

Or vice versa.

Did someone say BROTHERS?!?!?!?!?!?!
Oh, twins. I mean, I'll take twins, but I prefer it if there's a bit of an age gap between the brothers. Half-brothers from the same mother are my personal favorite.

So like the situation in Mistborn. That was a great twist by the way. I won't spoil it for those who haven't read the series.

Twin protagonists... if it works. Usually age gaps between siblings is better as one is an underdog compared to the other, and one is the dominant sibling, like in The Outsiders, Ponyboy is the underdog to Sodapop, and Sodapop is the underdog to Darry, unless you don't wanna do that.

Or the twin is just in the MC's head (didn't used to be, though). And the bowl of soup is really just an allegory for the sister she drowned.

The plot twist reminds me of the movie, the uninvited
