Telepathy (精神感応, Seishin kan'nō?) is the psychic ability to connect one person's mind with another's memories.
Description[]
Telepathy is one of the special powers of the Usuba family, a Gift that enables the user to affect the minds of other people. By linking with another person, the user of the Telepathy ability could use it to express thoughts in one’s head and feelings in one’s heart without resorting to verbal or bodily avenues of communication.[1]
For some unknown reasons and regardless of the strength of their powers, only women with the Telepathy supernatural ability are able to give birth to a child blessed with Dream-Sight, an ability that is considered the strongest Gift of them all. Girls born with Telepathy therefore live under intense pressure.[1]
History[]
As Gift-user births are declining already, girls born with Telepathy rarely come along. Around forty years ago, the stars aligned and Sumi Usuba was born as a child of Yoshirou Usuba and his wife. She was frail but possessed the power of Telepathy, which excited the whole Usuba family.[1]
As a Telepathy user, Sumi was expected to give birth to a Gift-user with Dream-Sight. To try to increase those chances as much as possible, Yoshirou himself wanted to marry her to a distant relative when she is of marriageable age. But that didn’t work out when the business of the family's firm, Tsuruki Trading, waned and the family was living in near starvation. Just before the whole family was about to be forced into the streets, the head of the Saimori family somehow heard of their plight and offered a marriage in exchange for financial support. Yoshirou rejected the offer, but the Saimoris were persistent. Ultimately, in order to save her family, Sumi overcame Yoshirou’s objections and went to the Saimoris. After marrying Shinichi Saimori, Sumi gives birth to a child with the Dream-Sight power, Miyo Saimori. Fearing her daughter's ability would be exploited, Sumi sealed away Miyo's power and Sumi Usuba pretended that Miyo didn’t have any.[1]
