Practicing thinking about the future

The reconstruction of Esperia after the War of Chaos was the perfect opportunity to finally build a prosperous civilization that cared for the ecosystem on which it depended.

It was with this purpose in mind that the Seven Shapes began writing One Daily Tale, intended for anyone who wished for a fairer world living in harmony with the environment.

The Shape of Time, Shala, was there to remind the Espers of something they found difficult to do: think about the future.

The very nature of the Espers often limited them to seeing the world only as they perceived it in the present moment.

They had to practice thinking about the future and try to understand the world from a broader perspective.

The discovery of the StarDust had given them the key to overcoming this lack of awareness: day after day, by developing their own StarDust, it became possible to see the world from a new perspective, no longer focused only on oneself, as is natural to do, but also on others and future generations.

It is simple: before problems can be solved, they must first be seen.

Practicing thinking about the future was a way to begin seeing things from a new perspective, where the everyday actions of every Esper gained meaning in relation to the challenges facing the planet they all shared.
