A Simple Speck Among the Stars

Before the Chaos War, amid the agitation of the world, Cha Cha often took the time to reflect, going against the need to always move faster in the society in which he lived.

Yet when admiring the sky and its stars, it is so easy to realize just how each person is nothing more than a simple speck among the multitude of stars.

If the vastness of the Universe can sometimes even become frightening, so vast and immense, realizing it also allows one to understand one’s own smallness.

The theory of the StarDust that he had developed also referred to this: its name evoked the Universe, and reflecting upon it could restore a little humility to anyone who took the time to think about it.

The Espers had taken control of the entire planet Esperia.

But few had developed their StarDust, and therefore few had truly understood who they themselves were.

    Accepting Differences
