Sensitive Heart

The daily and common use of magic by the Espers had changed their relationship not only with their planet, shared by all, but also the relationship they had with one another.

This did not happen overnight, but little by little, relationships based on trust eroded as the use of magic intensified day after day.

Magic had made life much easier for the Espers. They were able to control the five elements, but it came at a price, which they finally understood at the end of the War of Chaos.

The very essence of the Espers had not changed. But over the centuries, their world had changed enough to sometimes turn their hearts away from their true and deep sensitivity.

Yet their sensitivity was always there, only waiting to express itself, soothing beings increasingly caught in the frenzy of the world around them.
Now that the use of magic was subject to restrictions.

Indeed, each use of magic consumes the life source of Esperia, the Aether. And this reality was only understood upon the discovery of the StarDust.

If there is one thing that can soothe minds in this time of great change for Esperia, it is to open one’s heart, to others and to oneself, by taking the time to listen, and to listen to oneself.
