Scales

Of all the 7 Shapes, Eklea was the most difficult to grasp and understand.

This is why all the Espers needed to take time, every single day, to remind themselves how tiny they were in the vastness of the multiple universes they lived in—but also how important they were to one another, and to the beauty of the nature they all shared.

It is also true for humans!

We feel humble when gazing at the immensity of the starry sky, but we also feel proud when we take responsibility and help children or those in greater need than ourselves.

Humans slowly forget about things and people they don’t see. This is how the brain works, and it’s one of the reasons why real change must come from within, every day.

At the scale of humanity’s timeline, humans have only just begun to understand that they share the same planet—as one human species…!
