To rebuild Esperia, the Espers first had to become aware of a certain reality: they were all in the same boat, which they called Esperia, after the name of their planet. It was essential for everyone to work together to avoid destroying the only ecosystem they were privileged to benefit from, and on which their survival depended.

Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy, understood well that this would not be an easy task.

When you become too attached to the possessions you own, they begin to define you.…
