Again, using the word "sorry" doesn't make it an apology! He was telling her to shut up for 3 whole days? Oh, my God! What a monster! It's a good thing he wasn't keeping very important secrets from her for about a decade, or make her think he's brain dead, right? Right?

This is a general reply to you and those who, apparently, mindlessly support your various rants.
You make many points, which in a non-family situation, would have a lot of validity. Many of those point are assessable by the rest of us in a "typical' family situation, where we can compare them to our life experience and say "Were this my family..."
The problem with that is, unless you're both amazingly lucky and equally cursed, your family, and certainly mine, is NOTHING like that. Every family has its own set of dynamics, unique unto themselves. You talk about what you'd do or a reasonable person would do, but that ignores that they, in terms of their personal interactions, would be viewed as utterly unreasonable by any "reasonable" person. Similarly, neither you nor I nor anyone in this thread, has any idea what we'd do in the MC's situation, because his situation is way far outside of any family context we've ever encountered.
Fucked up people do fucked up things to people they love all the time. Let alone an incestuous pair of siblings, who've been intimate for to decades and, whether or not they've acknowledged it, have been deeply in love that whole time.
tl;dr
Nobody here has a life experience that allows us to say how we'd behave in either the MC's or Deb's place. So let it ride.
