Shes a servant that works in the palace, unknown to the rest of society. Shes also a watatsumi islander who are seen as “shameful” and “dirty” by proud inazumans, yet the shogun sleeps with them every night. Almost all of the palace staff are watatsumi, which drives knowing inazumans away from the job. People praise Ei from her strong stance on the group, believe the lies that make an eternal war just a little easier. The faithful leader delights in sin, yet the rest of the nation, lives unaware..
A young woman (Huang Zuyi) who just graduated college with a phd in neurobiology gets hired at the office of a medical company in Shanghai for 5 years. Naturally since she is 25 she starts to present with schizophrenia and a magical spirit world appears in her dreams. It’s just a version of the real world occupied by the spirits of people who are trapped in certain locations or objects. They live out their lives in localised delusions of places they either died in or have a connection to. Most of them are allowed to live freely just in the afterlife. When she’s awake the schizophrenia presents as these spirits (who look like regular people just opaque) talking to her and moving in regular ways. And they can’t interact with regular objects but live in delusion that they’re in a “heaven” like reality that mirrors the real world. The spirit that mainly talks to Huang is chasca, who’s kind of a default leader of the spirit world. Chasca can control how you see the other side, and how (most) spirits see the real world. She can also shapeshift into people. Huang first starts to see these delusions when she goes on a trip to Harbin to see that fancy ice city in the winter, and ends up staying in a…scarily rural hotel.
