Guruko Gets Sick

Guruko was feeling ill. She began to develop a fever and had to lie in bed all the time, struggling to catch her breath.

Cha Cha, her faithful platypus, was at her side—preparing food with the help of Grandma Luna and changing the cool towel on her forehead to help bring down the heat.

When looking at Guruko, Cha Cha couldn’t help but feel sad, though he always smiled so that Guruko would feel a little better.

He remembered when he was younger and sick himself. He remembered the gentle eyes of his mother, full of love and compassion, and he could feel that, for his mother, what she saw through her eyes was the most treasured thing in the whole universe.

He wondered if Guruko could feel the same when he looked at her.

Thankfully, Guruko—who always respected the principles of the 7 Shapes—soon recovered!

And Cha Cha was the happiest platypus ever!

    That is the question. Or more precisely, why should we act—or not? I understand you may be skeptical about trying to do things for other adults, who themselves have the choice to act or not. But children don’t, and it becomes a responsibility—whether we like it or not. We are all born in different places,

For both, in order to develop, it is essential for the individual to truly believe they can grow. In Esperia, this way of thinking had become almost natural and effortless, as the Great Library stood at

    Living creatures share what is called a survival instinct. When you think about it, it’s rather mysterious. This instinct drives the richest people on the planet to search for ways to achieve immortality—until it becomes too late for them. It leads others to live vicariously through their children. And the irony of this instinct is
