Fair and just

Every Esper of Esperia acknowledged one thing about Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy: there was something special about her.

It was somewhat difficult to explain, but her behavior always smelled of pureness, and this led her to become the living image of fairness and justice as well.

Why? Because being able to feel compassion for others also leads to wanting fairness for everyone.

But Gurumin always said that, just like the other Shapes, she hadn’t received a gift she was born with. Throughout the years and the experiences she had accumulated, slowly and daily, she was able to develop the qualities she was admired for now.

She admitted that, of course, some Espers were more inclined toward empathy, but she understood that working on it made all the difference.

And for an Esperia that aimed for peace and harmony, having fair and just behavior was an example that every Esper could offer to others.

If you are not able to be fair and just yourself, no one will do it in your stead.
