On a bright morning, the city of Tomoeda was filled with birdsong and a spring breeze. Sakura Kinomoto walked to school with her heart excited—the night before, she had dreamed again of a mysterious figure wrapped in golden light. After school, when she opened her card journal, a glimmer passed through the room. A new card she didn’t recognize appeared suddenly: **“The Echo” – the Echo card.** Sakura stared at it in astonishment. “This… isn’t one of Clow’s cards,” said Kero, spinning around the card. “Strange energy…” That night, voices began to be heard throughout the city—echoes repeating people’s thoughts, not out loud, but directly inside their heads. People became confused, some even frightened. Sakura went out to look for the source of the disturbance. In a quiet alley, the echoes thickened and formed a translucent figure—the card itself. “Hey,” Sakura said in a steady voice. “I don’t want to fight. Why are you making people hear such strong echoes?” The figure trembled and replied: “…Searching… for a heart…” Kero blinked. “She’s not malicious! She’s just looking for someone who understands her.” Sakura smiled gently, drew out her staff, and addressed the card: “If you’re looking for a safe place, you can be part of my heart. I’ll listen to you.” The echo glowed for a moment and then merged into the card, this time quietly and peacefully. Sakura sighed in relief and laughed: “Another card that found its place.” “Kinomoto, you still surprise me,” Kero said with a wide smile. The alley returned to silence, but in Sakura’s heart another small light was added—a reminder that even mysterious powers sometimes just seek a bit of compassion.
