Strong-willed

Faya, the Shape of Willpower, was considered by all the Espers to be the true incarnation of a strong-willed person.

She was someone who could act calmly and boldly, guided by her own beliefs, even in difficult situations.

But she was not always this strong Esper who became a model for others.

“Little by little, and day by day, I made the fire I carry within me stronger and stronger.”

“But always remember Atma, the Shape of Balance. Give it too little attention, and your fire may die. On the other hand, if you put too much strength into it, it will consume itself completely.”

One Esper asked, “How do you know how to balance things, then?”

Faya smiled and replied, “Willpower is good, but alone it can only accomplish so much. That is why we, the Seven Shapes, are here—to help you on your journey to foster a bright StarDust. Follow the path to it, and balance will come naturally.”

The same is true for mental health. The mind is like a reservoir that can fill with all kinds of emotions. Sometimes it
