One of the most selfish things I've ever heard.

So glad they're both okay but the younger sister didn't deserve that.

The worst part for the victim has got to be thinking back to all the times the two of them were together, alone, and wondering how many times she narrowly escaped death because some small thing prevented her sister from acting.
