There had been countless instances where Penny had encountered this guy, Mark, before she left Anteca. In her first life, she knew him as the guy who was kicked out of school for standing up for Slater. He had always seemed like a good guy with a face that made him look like trouble.
Penny hadn't meddled much with him because she was able to stop the big event that got him expelled by dealing with her third brother's bullies early on. However, she had crossed paths with him several times since they were in the same fan club — her fan club, apparently.
From what she remembered, Mark had strayed far from the delinquent image she once had of him because of that fan club.
How could she forget? There had been times when Mark wore headbands and merchandise with her face on them while doing fan club duties. She knew it was against his will, yet he always completed the tasks given to him by the other club members flawlessly.
