Well, the firend's little sister already has a big brother, no? Spoils the imouto-purity, if she goes after you: either, by cheapening the concept, or by showing disloyalty. Embarrasment potential: high. Do not touch.

If you want to avoid that trap, you'll have to topicalise that, which means not only additional characterisation, but also plot. (See Clannad, IIRC.)

Only a hypothesis, mind you. I'm no expert.
