honestly, that's kind of what I had forming in my head for "emma" - competitive, maybe followed him around a lot trying to do what he was doing as a kid, then kind of competing with her own stuff as they got older. he became a fancy engineer and went to the marines, she went to med school to be a surgeon. maybe the last 5 years has been an opportunity for them to realize competing doesn't really get them anywhere, or start that, depending how they get on? if that sounds good I can work on something tonight.
