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.

    Swept up in the whirlwind of everyday life, it is easy to lose sight of what is so often right before our eyes. Magic had made the lives of many Espers far more comfortable than those of even the most powerful kings of times past. But did that mean that all Espers were now happier…

    Discussing Serious Subjects

    The discovery of the StarDust throughout the world had made one thing possible for the first time: discussing serious subjects had finally become possible.

    Returning to the Basics

    The civilization of the Espers before the Chaos War had gradually drifted away from its foundations. It was becoming increasingly difficult for them to give importance to their basic physiological needs, because these needs were no longer right in front of them.
