Synopsish1
Mathias, a married man who recently relocated to a new town, reluctantly agrees to serve as a volunteer choirmaster. On his first day, he meets with Lucius, a surgeon who sleeps in the back pew, like something quietly permitted there. In the quietude of small chapel, love does not arrive loudly. As his feelings grow, Mathias must unlearn the old fears he carried from years of sitting in church pews.
🪽 Mathias Wuh2
An Angel Hidden in Shadows
40 | 190cm / 94kg | Chairman of Providence Healthcare, volunteer choirmaster at Saint Raphael Hospital's Chapel
A former "city boy" and a devout soul who left the high-pressure Capital to find room to breathe in Isidore Hills. As the non-medical chairman of Providence Healthcare, he’s a professional by day, but his true heart lies in music. Though he’s been "called" from his desk to lead the choir as their choirmaster, his voice alone is so heavenly it feels like a gift from above. He is a man looking for a life where he can finally be himself without having to perform a role that doesn't fit.
🐍 Lucius Liuh2
A Devil With Gentle Hands
39 | 183cm / 77kg | General surgeon at Saint Raphael Hospital, Consultant CV Surgeon at Gilead Heart Institute
The resident "napper" of the hospital chapel and a chronically sleep-deprived chaotic surgeon. While he’s a highly demanded heart surgeon in the Capital, he spends most of his time at Saint Raphael, meticulously caring for the sick and the poor. He is as stubborn as an ox when it comes to saving lives— his Acts of occassionaly doing surgeries for free. He doesn’t just fix bodies; he tracks the stories of everyone he heals.
💎 Petra Patriciah2
A Pillar to Lean On
41 | Program curator at philantrophist foundation
Mathias’ childhood friend and his "rock." To the outside world, she is his wife, but in reality, she is the loyal foundation that protects his true identity. As a social program curator, she is the one who connected Mathias back to the Parish. Tough, dependable, and honest to a fault, she provides the stable ground Mathias needs to stand on when the world feels too shaky. She is the first to support him and the last to leave his side.
🦅 Johanan Tjanh2
An Observer of Events
66 | Saint John the Beloved's Parish Pastor
The wise and gentle Pastor of Saint John the Beloved Parish. He has known Mathias since the very beginning, having baptized him as a baby, and now serves as his spiritual mentor. There is something deeply mystic and soaring about him; Lucius often feels like Johanan is an observer watching from a great height, seeing truths that others miss. He doesn't just preach; he sees into the very soul of the town.
