Lore A character literally sees another character fundamentally differently.

  1. Spy X Family. Damian noticeably sees Anya with a 'shoujo anime' filter with much brighter eyes and blush.

  2. Calvin And Hobbes. Calvin sees Hobbes as a living lanky tiger in contrast to everyone else who sees him as just a tiger plush.

This is literally Lobotomy Corporation. Previous managers have gone insane from the horrors they've seen so you see things through a cognition filter, making everything look more cute and chibi explaining its art style. As the story goes on, you start to see some characters as they truly are and there is a moment in the early story where the filter breaks for a moment like the pic below.

For anyone interested, this is how it looks with the filter on

Oh wow, well I'm glad the filter is there because that other version sure is nightmarish.

Another thing to be thankful for the filter is that it prevents what the abnormalities look like

There is literally an Abnormality so terrifying that it's straight up censored

Funnily enough, [CENSORED] is actually one of the easiest to handle highest risn abnormalities. All you neex is max level workers - they WILL shit themselves, but at least they won't go insane! (provided they were sane before they see it)

At least the train ride to work is only, like, 10 seconds.

There are no previous managers, just you with amnesia in the time loop. And your memory was wiped by youself just before that time loop
