The Dreamers : What was on their shoulders?

What was on their shoulders?

Theo and Isabelle had what looked like matching scars on their shoulders. I thought they would explain this at some point, but they didn't. Anyone know?

Re: What was on their shoulders?

I'm not sure but I read somewhere that they were conjoined twins

I have two theories:

Conjoined at birth, separated, leaving a scar.

Or

Some weird burn mark, 'pact' to show how close they are.

If the second one is true, I suspect the parents' reaction finding Isabelle and Theo (forgetting about Matthew here for a second) naked together in a tent wouldn't seem so crazy, hence their "lets leave money and get out of here quickly" reaction.

They've already witnessed something similar beforehand.

Re: What was on their shoulders?

A metaphor, perhaps...

'Conjoined twins are genetically identical, and are, therefore, always the same sex. They develop from the same fertilized egg, and they share the same amniotic cavity and placenta.'
