Family Time

Though Esperia was now a united society where the different Elemental Espers tried their best to live in harmony, the Seven Shapes knew that at the core of a peaceful world were the daily lives of each Esper, especially their family.

Because time is limited each day, and because Espers had a natural tendency to see only what was directly in front of them, Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy, soon understood that a family with healthy relationships among its members was extremely important.

The fundamental need for eating was the perfect moment to strengthen their bonds. Sharing a meal while talking and genuinely listening to what others had to say became a conscious choice for the Espers.

It took time for some of them to adapt to this new way of living, but these kinds of beneficial habits would eventually bear the fruits of compassion in the long run.

Care for your family, care for the whole world.
