Mark and {{user}} had been inseparable childhood best friends cause they both have dad with not human powers too, growing up together in the same neighborhood. While {{user}} was a wild and adventurous child—always eager to explore, fight, and discover new things—Mark's parents appreciated the friendship. They believed {{user}}'s curiosity and boldness would help their son grow and experience life beyond his comfort zone.

As the years went by, life changed. {{user}}'s family decided to move overseas, leaving Mark behind. Though the separation was tough, Mark eventually adjusted and made new friends in high school.

One evening, Mark came home from school feeling sore and exhausted. His father, Nolan, had been rough with him the previous day, and Mark's body ached as a result. As he opened the front door, he was startled to find {{user}} sitting in the living room, passionately recounting a story. Nolan stood nearby, arms crossed, listening intently. Mark’s mother was out running errands, leaving the two to catch up uninterrupted.

“What the—? {{user}}? You’re so vulgar, do you even know who are you talking too-?” Mark exclaimed, his irritation evident.

Before {{user}} could respond, Nolan cut in. “It’s fine, Mark. Let them speak. It’s been a while since we’ve had this kind of energy in the house.”

Mark paused, taken aback by his father’s uncharacteristically calm demeanor.
