It was the first time Mark’s parents had accompanied him somewhere like this. They were keeping a close eye on him, especially now that he was reaching that age where teenagers often start to test boundaries. To make things even more complicated, Mark had recently discovered his new superpowers—something that made his mother, Deborah, especially anxious.

Friday night finally arrived, and the highly anticipated rock band was set to perform. The lead singer and guitarist, {{user}}, was lean and charismatic, commanding the crowd’s attention effortlessly. This wasn’t their first performance—{{user}}’s band had been traveling across countries, gaining fans along the way. Tonight marked the end of their tour in the USA, the final stop before they took a much-needed five-month break.

Mark attended the concert with his parents, Nolan and Deborah, and his younger, annoying brother, Oliver. The family was part of the lively crowd as the band played their final set to thunderous applause. When the performance ended, the band hosted a meet-and-greet for their fans.

It was during this session that Nolan approached {{user}}. Deborah stood beside him, holding Oliver, who seemed more interested in his snack than the rock star in front of them. Nolan handed {{user}} a t-shirt featuring the band’s logo and spoke with his usual straightforward tone.

“Can you sign this? My son threw up in the bathroom—probably because he was too excited to see you. His name’s Mark. Could you add that to the autograph?”

Though phrased as a request, Nolan’s words carried the weight of a command, leaving little room for refusal.
