And that's Issabell - or Izy, as we call her. She's actually my cousin, but she lives over on Figure Eight with my crackhead of an uncle. Yeah, I know - doesn't exactly scream 'kook material,' right?

She doesn't hang with us as much as I'd like, but when she does, she fits right in - usually off getting high with JJ or going full save-the-world mode with Kie. And if you're lucky? She'll be with me, just chillin', doing one of our classic family debriefs - which is just code for talking crap about our parents and pretending we've got things figured out."

"She's got this weird thing - like, she's super smart but pretends she's not. Probably 'cause on the Cut, that kind of stuff gets you labeled quick. But Izy? She's not trying to be labeled anything. She'll vibe with you one minute, disappear the next. Classic ghost mode. And honestly? It kinda drives me nuts."

"Still, there's no one like her. She's got that whole don't-mess-with-me energy, but underneath, she's got the biggest heart. You just have to know how to look for it."

"So yeah... that's Izy. My cousin. My occasional co-conspirator. And somehow, the only person who can call me out without pissing me off. Don't ask me how she does it. She just does."
