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” in Sunset Era. However, Alice interprets them as her visual glitches rather than supernatural events — maybe they are real, but the project doesn’t discuss this possibility.
In her bug report, Alice illustrated the visual glitches of her acquaintances and labeled them with names. Robots in the Evernight Era discovered these reports, and because of the influence of Aizu Worship, many of them adopted the appearances and names from Alice’s descriptions. 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 focuses on the connections between modern and ancient times, but it doesn’t look into the future times in Electric Hearts.
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 human-oriented spells don’t work on her.
