My two projects, Electric Hearts and Spirit Animals in Disguise, share the same universe. This article highlights their connections and differences.
Electric Hearts
The story of Electric Hearts is told from Alice’s perspective.
In Electric Hearts, Alice experiences odd phenomena like “classmates turning into animal people,” “a sable and a rat fixing machines,” and “talking goat.” However, Alice interprets them as her visual glitches rather than supernatural events — maybe they are real, but that’s out of the project’s scope.
In her bug report, Alice illustrated the visual glitches of her acquaintances and labeled them with names. Robots from the Evernight Era discovered these reports and adopted their appearances and names. Consequently, Alice encounters similar-looking individuals in the Evernight Era who share the looks and names she had drawn, but they are unrelated to her acquaintances.
Leiting does not exhibit her qualities as a protagonist in Electric Hearts. Instead, she is portrayed as “a mischievous classmate” who frustrates Alice with her unique ability to break everything she touches.
Spirit Animals in Disguise
The story of Spirit Animals in Disguise is told from Leiting’s perspective.
In Spirit Animals in Disguise, all the “supernatural” phenomena related to spirit power and spirit animals are simply natural occurrences not yet discovered by humans.
Spirit Animals in Disguise takes place in current time. The grand narration of Sunset Era and Evernight Era is out of its scope — maybe the future is different for this timeline.
Alice does not exhibit her qualities as a protagonist in Spirit Animals in Disguise. Instead, she is portrayed as an intriguing classmate for being a thinking robot, and a big trouble for spirit animals because their spells don’t work on her.
