It is hard growing up when you look different. In "Angel Kisses", a little girl with a birthmark is worried about leaving the comfort zone of her neighborhood and friends to attend her first day of school (after experiencing several insensitive looks and comments). In our current society there is a focus on preventing bullying...but what about the unkind looks and comments that come, not only from children...but from their parents and other adults?

Alya hidup di era abu-abu, di mana garis antara benar dan salah semakin kabur. Dunia diwarnai ketidakpastian, teknologi yang mendominasi, dan manusia yang perlahan kehilangan arah. Di tengah segala hiruk-pikuk itu, Alya terjebak dalam pergulatan moral dan spiritual, bertanya-tanya tentang makna baik dan jahat dalam zaman yang terus berubah. Saat kebimbangan semakin menghimpit, Alya menemukan hal yang tak terduga-AI bukan hanya alat, melainkan ruang bagi kreativitas dan mimpi-mimpi yang seolah terlupakan. Di sinilah Alya belajar bahwa kadang jawaban atas pergumulan bukanlah memilih hitam atau putih, melainkan menerima dan berdamai dengan abu-abu. Perjalanan Alya bukan sekadar pencarian jawaban, melainkan perjalanan menemukan dirinya sendiri, menghadapi rasa bersalah, mencari makna di dunia tanpa batas, dan belajar bahwa inklusivitas dan kebebasan berpikir adalah rumah bagi jiwa yang merindu. Di antara pilihan dan ketidakpastian, bisakah Alya menemukan kedamaian dalam era serba digital ini? "Sinner in the Gray Age" menawarkan kisah yang menggugah, relevan dengan tantangan zaman, dan membuka perspektif baru tentang hubungan manusia, moralitas, dan kecerdasan buatan.
