The Shape of Empathy : Gurumin

In ancient times, there was a land named Esperia, where harmony prevailed, thanks to the presence of the 7 Shapes.

Gurumin was the embodiment of empathy and social connection, flowing gently like the wind.
Her color was a soft, calming green, reminiscent of the sweet melody carried by a breeze.
Listening—truly listening, without judgment—is essential, and Gurumin reminded others of its importance.

She represented empathy and compassion, and her warmth was like a tender breeze that spread love wherever it went.
The kindest and purest of all the 7 Shapes, her very presence brought calm and comfort to the others.

Gurumin had a unique gift: she could communicate with every living being in the land.

Though her existence has long been forgotten by the adults of the world, her spirit still lingers.
Whenever the wind gently brushes through the hair of a child, it is a quiet reminder that though her name may be lost to memory, her gentle ear still listens—
to every heart that feels empathy for others.
