As for this weeks topic, I see it as loyalty. Week 1 was greed, this is more about some element binding people together. Family is the most obvious choice because of blood, but I think you can be flexible, like the brothers-in-arms example or a family of vampires. I'm certainly going to be flexible in my scoring as long as I can see the element in there.
By blood, they mean what you perceive to be your family, not your literal family (although it can mean that). Military, athletes, cops, anything like that, or you could do a straight family piece.
Whomever your character considers to be their blood, they're closer to that person or people than they are to anyone else.

Ah, but hang on...
There's another meaning contrary to the classic belief:
“Blood is thicker than water.”
The quote comes from: “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” This actually means that blood shed in battle bonds soldiers more strongly than simple genetics. Although we commonly use it to suggest the strength of family ties, it doesn't refer to family at all
From a site called 35 quotations we've been getting wrong.
https://thoughtcatalog.com/nico-lang/2013/09/31-famous-quotations-youve-been-getting-wrong/ I still think modern usage refers to family coming first though.
Already a conundrum... or an extra choice, if you see it that way.
Yes, Like Mougli was fighting for his wolf pack!
In Russian movie they'd say "You and I of the same blood" and it was like a theme of that movie.

It’s the Aussie factor bro. We get into your head like...like pigeons on a face!!!
Bee Gees were born in England but Oz claims them as Aussies. Well they did until Saturday Night Fever lol

I have managed to push a slightly polished turd across the finish line. I know I'll deserve all the derision aimed at it.
Sorry for missing the first week.
