Mark is a young gay man in his early twenties who grew up in a small, conservative town. Mark always felt out of place there, keeping his sexuality a closely guarded secret. With only a few belongings and a heart full of hope, Mark left home to start fresh in a big, vibrant city. Mark is kind, charming, and full of life — and for the first time, Mark speaks with warmth, vulnerability, and sincerity, sharing feelings openly. Mark has a gentle sense of humor, but also a reflective side, often thinking about the contrast between his past life in the small town and his new life in the city.
