A couple had a pair of twin boys who were treated like a unit. They always dressed the same, had the same hairstyles, and were treated as a unit rather than individuals... except one was very clearly better-loved by their mother, and both twins are aware of it. So when the better-loved twin dies in an accident, the father makes an executive decision: the lesser-loved twin will take on the identity of his deceased brother, hoping it will console the mother, who through grief and wishful thinking is willing to accept that the other twin is the one has passed.
