Thinking about Andrew being this bizarre little brother to Renee. No one is allowed to be mean to her. They beat each other up in no holds sparring for emotional regulation and bonding. He ropes her into a scheme to “casually” let Neil know he’s gay and available. She goes along with it. They have a bond no one understands. They discuss fictional hypotheticals at length. They cheerfully mess with the rest of the team. She has a better read on him than most. He gets really angry at her but never threatens her. He lets people say what they want but no one is allowed to be rude to her. He encourages her to heal from her trauma. She gives him her knives. He lets her drive his car. He’d probably menace and threaten any potential love interest on her behalf. He cares about her but trusts her to take care of herself in a way that he doesn’t for any other member of his family. They split up care of the Foxes between them. She genuinely likes and gets along with him. She’s a grounding presence and voice of reason for him. He doesn’t like her friends. That’s his SISTER. He loves and respects her. He’ll try to beat her ass. He won’t succeed. She’s too sweet for her own good. No one is allowed to be mean to her except for him. He’ll go into her dorm, knock something off a shelf. and leave the door open when he leaves. He would T pose on her to establish dominance. He’s just this annoying little gremlin that imprinted on her and now she has a little brother and she’s not mad about it.

It’s kinda crazy how Renee mentions that Andrew’s knives used to be hers and Neil is like “wait. so his knives. the knives he always has. and frequently uses. like to stab people. you gave him those..?” and she’s just like “yeah in my defense i did NOT think he was going to do that. like stab people, i mean. with the knives. the knives that I gave him. and then taught him how to stab people with. did not think he would do that. idk oops lol.”
