Here's another one:

When Mikoto said she wanted to "Save his dream" she wasn't just talking about supporting Touma.

As a consequence of the trauma of this arc Mikoto feels (perhaps correctly) that she has lost the part of her that allowed her to be idealistic, to hope for and strive for the best outcome possible. If you look at the first series of Railgun her idealism stood out and she was every bit the warrior of justice Touma was. By the time she reaches the end of her rope in the Sister's arc she has lost her ability to fight like that.

When Mikoto wanted to "Save his dream" she was trying to claw back her own innocent and hopeful self, too. That her sister was moved by this desire speaks to the similarity between Mikoto and her clones, which does indeed make them Sisters in more than just genetics!
