Intrinsic Motivation

Vangel was an Esper of the Fire element whose appearance resembled that of a small dog.

For many years, he had asked himself existential questions without ever truly finding answers.

The reason for existence.

The purpose of life.

Little by little, it had exhausted him, and he eventually lost motivation for everything he did.

He simply let himself drift along with the daily flow of his days, trapped in a routine that did not suit him anymore, yet one he no longer even tried to change.

“What’s the point?” he would say to himself.

Nevertheless, an almost miraculous encounter changed him.
As he wandered after yet another dull day of work, he heard a gentle voice along with applause.

Intrigued, he approached and discovered Gurumin, the Forme of Empathy, who had been invited to an outdoor conference.

She was full of life, and her smile radiated throughout the audience.

He was so deeply impressed that the memory engraved itself within him.

Beyond the words, he was filled with an emotion that rekindled his flame and made him realize how disconnected he had become from reality.

He understood that he needed to change his attitude, and little by little, he regained motivation in his daily actions.

That motivation transformed into a sense of responsibility toward preserving the ecosystem of his planet.
