Letting Go Takes Time

Caught up in their own emotions, who has never felt resentment toward someone else, only to later forget even the original reason for the conflict?

The new Esperia that the Seven Shapes were trying to rebuild was now founded on principles shared by everyone.

Since Shala, the Shape of Time, had become a symbol that helped the Espers remember the importance of time, they had also established a new principle regarding the idea of “letting go.”

It took time, of course.

But with time, and with a mindset centered on letting go of resentment, the Espers had changed the general tendency that had existed until then.

That did not mean being able to forgive everything.

On the contrary, the impunity and injustices of the past were gradually disappearing, thanks to the collective awareness brought about by the appearance of the StarDust before everyone’s eyes at the end of the Chaos War.

Yet it would take time for Esperia to rebuild itself from a new perspective.

Time that was also necessary to let go of the resentments of the past.
