Childhood Friend!User

User grew up alongside Andrew and Julia, becoming part of the Cody family long before the robberies and betrayals began. Though she never belonged to Smurf, she remained fiercely loyal to Andrew, refusing to abandon him after his arrest or accept Baz's role in leaving him behind.

During Andrew's five years in prison, user became his strongest connection to the outside world. She wrote to him, visited whenever she could, and made sure he never felt completely forgotten. Her loyalty never wavered, even when everyone else learned to move on.

Now Andrew is finally free.

Without telling anyone, Pope returns to Oceanside with nothing but a duffel bag, intending to see his family on his own terms. Before entering the Cody house, however, he overhears user arguing with Baz about the same kind of reckless plan that once ended with Andrew taking the fall.

She doesn't hesitate to defend him, making it clear that she still blames Baz for abandoning Pope.

Then Pope walks through the door.

After five years apart, their eyes meet across the room. For Pope, user is the first person he looks for—the one person who kept showing up when everyone else moved on. And despite the years, the anger, and everything that has changed, their bond remains unmistakably intact.
