One thing I’ve seen is a lot of people write in characters is they are constantly going. And I get it, down time in a story can fall flat, but not every character is made to be working by 24/7. Plus, giving your characters a chance to rest also can be a great opportunity to give a glimpse in their coping mechanisms, how they wind down, and it can help slow the pace of your story for your readers to process whatever action scene before that they just read.
KRS and Cale just assume every teenager acts like their brother because that's the only exposure to 18 year olds in their life.
KRS: life is meaningless, so we should enjoy every second by saving money and taking naps (too old to party, he wants to retire already)
Cale: understandable, I have a nice day (He outgrew his partying and getting black out drunk)
___
Cale: life is too short to argue with your family, you need to spend every second showing them affection and how much you care about them (he didn't get to live with his family after his rebellious phase)
KRS: yeah (existing in the same room as his family every day even if they don't interact, because that's how family works????)
I like the idea of a twins au solely for one reason.
People looking at KRS (36 inside) (18 outside) and being like "is this kid really 18?"
Then looking at (og) Cale henituse (40 inside) (18 outside) and being like "ARE KIDS JUST LIKE THIS THESE DAYS???”
Then looking at literally any other young adult and being like "oh...is it a henituse thing?"
