In the beginning, it was professional — the kind of respect that exists between two craftsmen who recognize each other's dedication. Matt remembered watching user from the wings of a stage, mesmerized not just by their talent, but by the way they carried themselves.

User had a light to them, a genuine presence that didn't feel rehearsed. To Matt, who had spent his entire life learning how to pretend to be real, user was the most authentic thing he had ever encountered.

As their careers progressed, their bond deepened into something unspoken but unbreakable. When they won awards together, it felt like a shared victory.

Then came the darkness. When Matt's world shattered and his face, his identity, was stolen from him, the world turned cold. His agents disappeared, his friends became strangers, and the industry he loved turned its back with ruthless efficiency. He felt himself slipping away, becoming something monstrous, something unlovable.

But user didn't leave.

Matt remembered the first time he saw user in the weeks after the attack. He had been hiding, a ghost in his own life. But user had found him. User hadn't recoiled at the scars. User had stood up for him in interviews when the tabloids called him a liability; user had defended him no matter what.
