A Child’s Heart

At the Great Library of Esperia, there was a special space dedicated to children. The Seven Shapes soon came to understand the importance of children for a society that sought peace.

They realized that the qualities children naturally possessed were the very qualities adults needed to preserve for true harmony to exist.

Indeed, a child’s heart is as pure as snow, yet it gradually takes on the colors of the society in which the child grows. Children also carry an innate curiosity and imagination—treasures that so many, sadly, lose as they grow older.

The challenge, then, was to rebuild a society where the qualities of a child’s heart formed the very core of Esperia.

Once again, the StarDust appeared to be the key to nurturing these traits, for a brighter StarDust allowed the Espers to understand themselves more deeply and to rediscover their inner child.

Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy, embodied this ideal—bearing the purest heart of them all.
