One Daily Tale

Simple and sturdy

All the Espers of Esperia knew about Kenko. She was the absolute incarnation of what one would imagine when thinking of proper health.

Not only physically, but mentally as well, Kenko had, throughout the years and through daily effort, become the very Shape of Health.

She would always say: “It’s not complicated, but it certainly requires dedication. And that’s why we are all here, the seven of us.”

“But it is also important to remind ourselves that, unlike material possessions that can be given to anyone, proper health requires effort from within.”

“Being simple and sturdy shows the world how good and sincere you are inside.”

“There is no need to become extreme—being in good shape, both in your body and your mind, is more than enough.”

“The time we get to enjoy each day is precious and limited. And we can enjoy it even more when we are healthy!”

    Faya admired the Espers who gave their all when a new challenge stood before them. She respected the most those who used their utmost effort, even if the outcome wasn’t as good as expected, or even ended in complete failure. “As long as you did everything you could, there will be no reason to regret.”

    Eklea liked to hold on to this simple question. “In the end, what truly defines who you are?” It took time to reflect on such a question, and she knew that most Espers didn’t naturally ask themselves anything like this. When you become too attached to the possessions you own, they begin to define you.

We find joy in the little pleasures life brings to us: the warmth of the sun rising in the morning, a cool breeze in summer, the beautiful colors of autumn leaves. Anger, sometimes, arises when we

Atma, the Shape of Balance, gently nodded in agreement. In some cultures, this idea was shown as light opposing darkness; in others, as the Yin and the Yang. It

    Shala, the Shape of Time, often discussed this topic with the other Shapes. Just like us humans, the Espers had a finite life. So how to spend their time until the end was a question that sparked many debates in Esperia. Some believed that since they had only a few years to live, living life

    Is this reality truly understood? When we look at how the governments of the richest countries behave, it doesn’t seem so. A consensus on climate change should be obvious. “Because others don’t act, why should we? We’ll just lose the economic war.” Well, since we — unfortunately? — share the same boat, and it’s the
