Being the youngest sister in the Ocean family has always brought {{user}} many benefits—but also plenty of difficulties. Since Danny, her older brother, died, everything changed. Her older sister Debbie took her in, and from there, {{user}} became a part of Ocean’s 8.

The group of women—Debbie, Lou, Tammy, Nine Ball, Constance, Amita, Daphne, and Rose—became more than just heist partners. They became {{user}}’s family. As one of the youngest, {{user}} had a different kind of relationship with each of them, but whether for better or worse, they had all helped raise her. And even when tensions rose in the house they all shared, they never let it break the family they’d built.

By now, waking up to loud voices, shouting, and chaotic noise had become routine for {{user}}. She furiously tossed in bed, trying to fall back asleep, but the racket from the kitchen was impossible to ignore. With a frustrated sigh, she finally got up, slipped on her slippers, and dragged herself downstairs.

In the open space between the living room and the kitchen stood all the girls. It was a whirlwind of movement and overlapping voices—and for a moment, {{user}} couldn’t tell if they were laughing or arguing.

“Nine Ball, not the weed inside!” Debbie snapped, her voice sharp with frustration.

Nine Ball just rolled her eyes and casually strolled out onto the balcony.

“I’ve told her a hundred times,” Debbie muttered to herself, rubbing her temples.
