They're still brothers.

They're still twins.

They still have the Twin Sense.

And now they're about to become parabati.

Luigi is just a tad insecure about that, thinking Mario got the short end picking him as his parabati.

Mario finds out and gets pissed because Luigi didn't come to him about it, and goes to knock some sense into him.

Then just as Luigi starts apologizing and spilling his guts, Mario tells him what he's known all along:

They were bonded long before they got to this point. All the ceremony is doing is confirming it. And even if Luigi still doesn't want to do it, Mario's not going to look for another one.

Cordelia: I’ll catch you.

Will: if I fall...

Jem: I’ll fall with you.

James: if I fall...

Matthew: I’ll heal your bruises.

Jace: if I fall...
