Tldr; being brothers does mean feeling alienated at times, its only when theyre adults that you get that sibling brother bond

Tbh, as a brother, there definitely is a point where you start thinking I dont belong here. Esp when you see a parent fawning over a sibling over the other. Its either you get excited and coddle the younger sibling too. Or what ive experienced is they get jealous over a younger being coddled and they end up growing distant.
What i do appreciate here is that this normally happens when theyre kids like a baby and toddler competing for parent affection. So in a way they kinda going through the motions becoming real siblings by arguing like this and resolving it in a dumb tangential way.

you fight a bit, then you make up after the fight. perfectly makes sense to me

As the youngest child, I could never (joking).

But isn't the bigger "issue" here that Reo was reminded he's the child of an affair and isolating himself because he thinks he should leave? Or did I miss a chapter

Yes, iirc it was specifically seeing a picture of him and his dad then seeing photos of his brother and their father growing up. And concluding that he cant ever reveal the photo of the father enjoying his time with the affair kid. Which led to him choosing to self alienate with his scheme to leave them. My point being the same things that happen to brothers early on in them trying to define their relationship happened in a delay because of them being brothers through an affair. The period where they grow up feeling alienated for a time because of unequal parental affection, which the author kind of assumes is a necessary bridge to be built between them, that was addressed through this arc of unease and silent resolution that regardless of what the other feels. They're brothers and they choose to make that mean something, without even talking about the actual issue.
