* ''VideoGame/IWasATeenageExocolonist'': One factor in the PoorCommunicationKills between Dys and Tang is that twins started drifting apart right around the time Tang got gene therapy to get a body of the right sex, and everyone assumed that Dys had a problem with it. In reality, as Dys himself puts it, he knew Tang was a girl "five minutes after she knew" and considered her his sister long before anyone else did. What really happened is that Tang's already prolific intelligence latched onto the science behind her transition and gave her a newfound motivation to excel academically, with the nasty side effect of turning her into an InsufferableGenius. This interacted badly with their family's history of chronic depression, worsening a bad patch Dys was having independently. By the game's beginning, Tang is genuinely worried about Dys but expresses it in a way that is easy to read as her only pretending to worry because she's expected to do so as his sister, while a BookDumb Dys is living on the fringes of the colony's society with a severe case of SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome.
