I think fiction sometimes forgets about the bonds between brothers and sisters and how powerful they can be.
But A Plague Tale doesn’t - A Plague Tale goes for the sister-brother bond.
In all this time - about a year’s worth, I think - Amicia is Hugo’s everything.
And through it all, and perhaps because of it all, a profound bond forms between them.
Maybe this bond was there all along.
Maybe it’s there between all siblings.
(I was really into Thundercats), and, “Daaaad, Rob’s being annoying!”
(I usually was.)
Maybe it’s bigger problems that blow the bickering away.
I’ve seen something like this in my life.
It’s an atomic kind of power to try and split.
I’ve seen it.
So I see the desperation in Amicia and I believe she will do anything because of it.
And I remember it choking me up; it was heartbreaking.
