Rylee
Emerson Kincaid is the deceased older brother of Ryle and Allysa. After Ryle attacks Lily, Allysa urges Ryle to tell her about what happened to Emerson. Lily learns that Ryle accidentally shot and killed Emerson when they were young children. Emerson’s death deeply affected Ryle; in adulthood, he suffers blackouts and episodes of violent rage. This trauma also makes Ryle hesitant to build deep relationships. Later, Ryle and Lily name their daughter Emmy in honor of Emerson.
