I will commence with the comment that I enjoyed asylum's story more. It piqued my interest, and grabbed my sphere of awareness in a more compendious and comprehensive way. However, it was simplistic in its delivery. Three plane's back and forth became a bit unaccountable. By which I mean, the relativity to the reader became eschewed by the dysfunctional disparity of the two time periods. Although, the divergence contributed to thematically forwarding the story there was a glitch in the hinge that serves as the axis, the pivot that makes the transition between the two shifts in narratives become coherent. I cannot exactly put my finger on what it is, but if I had to guess it will be the hoary notion of oppressive regimes being linked to the tyrannical hierarchy akin to the drug empire. While true it becomes oppressive to the atmosphere of methodical and sequential progression. And perhaps due to my drowsiness it is not so, but perhaps the methodical transition, the thought process that interwove this two stories is off.
Yet, I cannot neglect the greater craftsmanship that three planes aligned showed. Thus my vote goes to
Three-planes-alligned.
