Iso from VALORANT as Imanuel's face claim.

Save me.

Imanuel is -- no, was his name. Born in 25th December of 1996, now 27 years old, the man himself forgot what the hell went wrong with his life, or perhaps it was not something wrong at all? It shouldn't be like something was wrong, no. It was his conscious decision to move to another that he believed in more than what was assigned to him at birth. In the end, even sinners like him do have the freedom to choose. Dear reader, tell me, could a man be classified as a sinner if the one who gave him that deserved title is one's family?

Imanuel lived a happy life, at the very least. Every man deserved to live a happy life, even you reading this right now. One's needs shall be fulfilled until the end of time, doesn't it? Imanuel is surely not a man of words, yet his actions to express his gratitude flows more freely than even the clearest rivers. For a man so reserved, those around him would hard to believe that he made such a huge decision himself.

"I'm changing religions," one said. Others look at him in disbelief, but why did they not expect those words coming out from their mouth when he barely participated in the weekly prayers? Why did they not expect that when he rejected all the invitations to sing in the church, even when he has a degree in music? He couldn't phantom to imagine all the paranoid faces every time that memory would relive itself in his mind -- only his dreams would retell everything that happened at that time in full detail.

For his neverending loneliness, he now despised the name Imanuel. Was it fair that his distant relatives refuse to talk to him just because he chose to believe in a divinity other than those around him? It wasn't fair, at all.

"Change your name to Iman, then?"

"…Iman it is then."

"Nice to meet you, Iman."

The name ZERO appeared on the internet long ago. The man behind the name was unknown, at least to most people. Despite the fact that ZERO started to post music long ago, it was not before 2021 when his popularity gained as he started to post more beats than ever. The man dare not to sing at all, afraid that people would recognize him by his horrendous voice. One song titled as 'God, Tell Me?' became climbed the charts with it's unique sound. Those who have listened to it would think that the song was filled with much sadness, yet anger and despair was also present, even if lyrics shall no avail.

Iman now mostly lock himself in his room, trying to find those that will accept him as who he is, despite his new difference with his family. He was surprised that his family still accept him for who he is, but the loneliness is something that was evident in hie eyes. Those purple orbs would scream out of loneliness every time Christmas came, the man now forced to miss out on the festivities. ZERO became a place for him to live - was it a place? ZERO was his other identity, a music producer whose sounds are never not filled with despair. ImanGala is just a name, is just a reminder to people that he is still alive.

God, tell me, if choosing to believe in you was a sin by the others, then tell me that choosing to believe in you was a blessing for me.

Imanuel, blessing shall come for you. Pray, Imanuel, for the only one that can get out of this predicament is yourself.

Dear reader,
would you take Imanuel's hand and accompany him in an journey of music and divine?

Relations.

ZERO's identity is hidden, yet there will always be people who knows his true identity. It was a coincidence that Okso Redjosentono knew who he is -- the named was barely an adult when that message came through, a simple permission to use one's sound of one's heart desires. Even universe seemed to forget the way they became so close in just few moons.

Imanuel still remember that first moment when they met. It was quite funny seeing the shocked look on both of their faces. They met online on a gaming server, close as ever. Now, they seek to strenghten their relationship once more as they now meet in real life, having the role as a big brother and his sister.
