I remembered Shiyun told me this story last year.

It is about a pair of twins,
one of them had some like of illness,
if the illness is not treated properly,
it would become fatal, and may result in death.
The doctor believed the younger twin is the victim.
So, the parents became over protective over him,
always concerned about his health conditions and safety,
always giving in to him (pampering him),
while the elder brother was neglected.

Once, the younger twin played a prank on his brother,
and pretended to fall off the steps,
claiming that the brother tripped him.
Then, the parents were very angry with him,
and punished him harshly (not sure how...)

After this,
the younger brother started pushing all the blame
for his own mistakes to his elder brother,
and the parents treated the elder twin even harsher,
making him do most of the chores,
while the younger twin relaxed and enjoyed life.

Then some incident happened,
and the doctor discovered that it was actually the
elder brother who is the victim to the illness.
however, due to the harsh conditions he grew up in,
his health deteriorated and his illness worsened.
He eventually died in the end.

Sad story,
it is somewhat related to family,
but I think is more about the tendency of inequality
and being biased to someone,
especially parents towards their children.

Maybe we can change the plot a bit,
or include some of the ideas inside our script?
