Schematic view of the model where the central big black dot represents the primary MBH, the small black dot represents the EMRI companion, the grey area represents the tilted disc and the EMRI-disc crossings are shown with yellow stars. The vertical arrow shows the MBH spin vector. The misalignment between the EMRI orbit and the disc is enhanced in this cartoon with the purpose of showing the impacts more clearly. However, we use smaller misalignments to produce the QPEs light curves. The blue and yellow arrows show the EMRI and gas velocity vectors, respectively, while the yellow dashed line only mimics an orbit inside the disc.
