### Pre-questria ###

The person before Able came to be comes from a large family of many talents and backgrounds, with relatives ranging to be from entrepreneurs, artists, military personnel and government security agency. When political changes dawned upon his country, perpetuating major, uncontrollable shifts in the society, his family became impoverished through deception by co-partners, an event that almost destroyed young Able's family. Nevertheless, the ties prevailed, with family enduring the hardships and moving on.

 

Even in poor and arduous living conditions, parents never stopped to care for him, sacrificing what little they had to make Able's childhood that of a wonder. Taught that kindness, open-mindedness, camaraderie and discipline are the keys to life-long happiness, Able followed the guidance, growing up to be an idealist of a man who in his life went through many backgrounds and hobbies, ranging from artistic, philosophical and scientific endeavors, never stopping to look for something new and thrilling, with bluebird of a "calling" and wanderlust being his mentors and closest friends.

 

Sadly, as time went on, the moral code and value system that he adamantly adhered to started to give cracks. The bleak reality began to encroach on his idealistic views as displays of cruelty, self-servitude, indulgence, bashing of the weak and willful ignorance that his peers and colleges displayed, started to wore him down. Changing partners, problems in personal life, mistakes and disgusting behavior that in his vision a true Human Being from capital letters was unworthy to show weakened his resolve. Slowly, inspiration turned in depression, friendly demeanor got substituted by seclusion and long-time aspirations began to fade away, turning into a grey, bleak mirage of past impetuousness, passion and enthusiasm.

 

Mental exhaustion and fear to change his values, brought him to the brink of self-destruction, desensitization, corrupting his value system, with empathy becoming his most hated trait of his self...
