It's nice for Touhou to finally have a character that can treat Eiki as a subordinate.
"Oh, aren't you a judge from our Eastern Branch? What do they call your post again? Emma, right? So, Emma, what's up?"
Best part is, Hecatia's personality is very whimsical, and completely clashes with Eiki's studiousness and perfectionism, so the fact that Eiki can't lecture her for her silliness, and must do what she says, must drive her bonkers.
They're from different patheons, they have no interactions with each other.
Word's been going around that there's a source (an interview I think) where Zun says something along the lines of Lady T-Shirt being farther up in the afterlife hierarchy compared to the judge. I don't have the sourc(es) myself, but looking up Hecatia in the comments shows others who know this better than I do.

But this is Gensokyo, where pantheons are just another source of inspiration for ZUN, and everyone hangs out together.
ZUN stated that they are related: Eiki is Judge of the hell which contains Oni, but Hecatia is ruler of ALL the Earth hells, including the one with Oni, and as such, Eiki is her subordinate.
Getting ready for work or I would find the source.
