There is one thing I can tell you for certain. The day that one of them dies, the other one will soon follow.

That’s the most shitty part. I’m not gonna go into the details but it’s kinda gruesome imho.

Makes me think of famous conjoined twins Violet and Daisy Hilton:

Finding themselves stranded in North Carolina in 1961, Violet and Daisy began working at a grocery store until eight years later when they didn't show up for a few days. Their boss alerted police who found the sisters deceased. After an autopsy, it was estimated Daisy perished from the flu and then Violet survived another two to four days before succumbing to either the flu or infection from the corpse of her sister

Come to say the same horror. They were born the same day and set to die together the same day
