ideas for interesting platonic dynamics:
older siblings trying to maintain a cool persona to impress younger siblings who idolize themĀ
character avoiding their landlord cause theyāre late to pay rentĀ
neighbors who have grown weirdly accustomed to each other and donāt feel right if the other person isnāt homeĀ
following the same ideaā¦ one of them finally moves out and the other neighbor deliberately scares away potential new inhabitants cause they canāt stand the idea of anyone else living next doorĀ
alternatively, shenanigans between neighbors who cannot stand each other and are each trying very hard to get the other to move outĀ
adult characters bonding with their friendsā childrenĀ
characters who are just sick of each other for no particular reason, theyāre just weirded out by how often they coincidentally end up in the same placesĀ
character stalking another character, but solely to use their extensive knowledge about them toĀ avoidĀ themĀ
long-lost friends/relatives reunited after many years who now have to get to know each other all over againĀ
