Devon Scout (maiden name only because Ricken is being a horse's ass) was being iced out by her brother, someone who already slips out of her reach and into all manners of darkness both self-created and inflicted on him, and he's sick and scared and fully shutting her down. And she drove over still, because worst case scenarios swirl around her every time he does this, and just when he's hissing and spitting his loudest THAT happens. And a voice she's had since childhood comes out of her as she tries to hold him as it all comes apart, as he slips away from her ability to help again, both of them powerless on the floor, what has he done, what happened when you were not there AGAIN...

and also Reghabi is there

imagine your little brother gets married to a beautiful and wonderful woman that makes him a better version of himself and you and her become really good friends and the four of you including your husband become a unit and you're close and you like each other and your little brother is so happy and fulfilled and then his wonderful wife dies horribly and leaves him stricken and permanently changed with grief and he sinks so low that he permanently cuts his mind in two just so he can make the days go by faster and get work done without being haunted by his dead wife who he still loves and you also still love her and you really love your brother and you can't stop him from making the decisions he makes but you can keep reminding him you love him by being someone he can lean on and never letting up your affectionate teasing of him and in general being a "way better sibling than him" and you never agree with how he's handling his life and you're never trusting of his employers but you still haven't found a way of telling him you disapprove without pushing him further away and that's the last thing you want because he's your brother and you're all each other has and you can't help but love his stupid annoying ass and then one night his alternate self shows up to talk to you and ask you for help and he's so different and earnest and vulnerable and interested and bright-eyed and he smiles at you and you so badly want to help him but then he's gone and you're left exhausted and overwhelmed and there you are you're nearing middle age and you're life has wound up in this fucked up place where you're caring for your strange and awkward but loyal and loving manchild of a husband, your actual child who has just been born, and your fucked up grieving suicide risk of a little brother who has gone and got himself caught up in some kind of dystopian corporate conspiracy just because he'd rather let himself be exploited for labour through ethically dubious brain surgery rather than face up to his feelings which are too grotesque and intense for you to ever fathom or understand and that scares you because you want to understand him but you can't. and he's never been more out of reach. okay you've successfully simulated what it's like to be devon scout and that's why she's the best character in the show

not normal about orpheus and eurydice. you loved someone so much it opened the stones of the underworld. so much that death had to listen. so much that everything stopped for your love. so much that you turned around. so much that even when you did wrong. she forgave you.

SEVERANCE (2022–) Season 2, Episode 1, “Hello, Ms. Cobel” Season 2, Episode 7, “Chikhai Bardo”

gemma is genuinely so precious like she loves plants, she finds something to compliment in anything she sees, she likes other peoples dogs, she can speak russian, she draws plants to comfort herself down in lumon because she can't have them, she's naturally inquisitive and cares for people, she wears leaf earrings, she's strong, and every few days she tries to escape her captivity. and all these traits are reflected in her innies. the only thing ms casey wanted as she walked towards her non-existence was to know if she was happy up there. ms casey offered hugs to helly and told irving that burt was in the conference room and was aware that the mdr team found her strange.
