Synergistic Cooperation

The Seven Shapes had clearly understood that while ideas could give birth to utopias, addressing the reality of a problem obviously required practical implementation, a plan, and achievable concrete actions.

“It is necessary to involve the Five Elements. If nothing has truly been done in that direction until now, then it is indeed time to finally create a cooperation that will, moreover, be synergistic,” commented Vati.

“Synergistic?” asked Kenko.

“Yes. While each element has been able to develop considerably on its own, by combining their efforts, the results can be multiplied.”

Eklea added:

“By accepting each other’s strengths and weaknesses, by recognizing that differences exist without any bias of superiority, we can create a system of independent actors who nevertheless act for the same cause.”

“Rather than trying at all costs to elevate only one’s own element, we must elevate all the elements, for the Espers of course, but also for the other life forms on the planet.

Kenko continued:

“Yes, because health also depends, of course, on the environment in which we live. It has been facing a major crisis since the War of Chaos… But at least now we know how crucial the ecosystem in which we live is for everyone.”

“So it begins by creating a system in which essential values are discussed systematically, every day, by the Five Elements,” thought Faya.

“Yes, because our StarDust must be nourished day after day…” added Gurumin.
