The request came from: "Robert ‘The Rampager’ Reynolds." Mark let out a chuckle, a low rumble from his chest. Robert, the kid who once stole his favorite toy. Now, asking to be his friend. The irony was almost too much.

He clicked on the profile. Robert's picture was clearly old. He typed, "Hmm, I'll think about it." Then he sent the request to the ‘pending’ box.
