Just like the wind

When teaching about empathy and compassion, Gurumin, as the Element of Wind, liked to use her element as an example.

She loved watching the clouds in the sky, gently moved and reshaped by the breeze. Their calmness reminded her that empathy requires careful listening.
When we are caught in the flow of our lives, we sometimes become like the clouds, drifting without awareness.

We are surrounded by other living beings, yet we often fail to give them our attention.

And sometimes, this includes even the ones we love most.

“Just like the wind on a hot day, we can bring comfort to others simply by being there for them. Anytime you feel the breeze passing softly through your hair, remember this.”

Because of how the StarDust works, we cannot do many things at once. We have to choose. And when spending time with the ones you truly care about, they must become your priority.

    The primary instincts of the Esper species pushed them to act naturally for their individual survival before anything else.
