>"And we are curious as well about our alter-egos and their lively roles as well,Ranka".
>Monologue inside our mind:"Curious enough to skedaddle everyone out of the place and gather plenty of reverie-like article material for the REAL Gensokyo.Keep your feathers on your head ,guys!"
Mhmh(WARNING:long 
elucubration from Branneg Xy).
This is a tentative guide to help and spur we players to process the "Trap Book" inner workings and how the trapped ones ,like Hunter Sakuya Greed,are responding.By the by,Hunter Sakuya/Hunter/H. Sakuya were monikers given to her from Remilia Quest Tri -- Eager to disclose her true identity?
- - Read the previous arc. I am pretty keen on having the party work together to find a way past osaid workings and coming as far as to release all captives. Of course, I understand am getting sort of ahead of everything and this jumble the sense of comprehension :take your time by reading one block at a time orjust read the last one bearing the numbered list .Several intuitions are being showed to us.
Other-Reimu,the Cobalt Keep,Greed are those we have to perceive of standing in everyone's way to freedom as though a combined persuasion and magical barrier.
Our party can gauge the enthrallment and fatigue level of the victims by how well they are coping with their doppelgangers.
Heck! I would not be surprised if Alice and Marisa resisted at first ,but the clones merged with them(?) when they were at their weakest and the book reassessed their roles: even if it is not true,a face off with both pairs of Ayas and Rans twins could be useful to help snapping the real ones out of their funk. Proofs of the theory are the non presence of clones of our Marisa and Alice and other-Ranka was made to be reassesed to assimilate our three unacknowledged existences as roles.
Captives sorted out from their rank of defiance to the book roles, from balky to accepting.
1) Celes referred to Hunter Sakuya and her relationships -- shackles in mind and soul -- : she seems to be the most incompatible with a role as she is in fact the regarded -- "Psychotic explorer of the "Evil Keep"- - by Reimu: it would be unwise to leave her behind in the planning of the escape route.
2)Aya is very aware but so appalled by this ordeal she sought escape in the "other-Outside World" from her role: we should dig out pieces of revelations occurred to her.
3)Ran and her double are expressing her analytical and caretaker role for Gensokyo :she is another source of evidences ,relatively safe if at risk . A logical and genuinely sensible approach should pull her back to her senses for I am assuming to encounter a logical stubborness.
4)Marisa and Alice are off to the deep end of roles : it is advisable to get them to tactfully recall emotional memories lest something wounds the duo psyche and/or prompt them to turn hostile.
5)Greed is currently concealing himself and his host by projecting illusion powers and acting the role as an unsuspecting collaborator for the influence of the Trap Book: the most afflicted, a Sin Spirit of Greed whose powers and purpose are an aid to this prison . Suspected base and host:Cobalt Keep or sorroundings . The closer we are onto him, the more pronounced greed we must be prepared to endure among the party :aim for his host by trying to weaken the possession bond,remind the duo of the REAL WORLD and let us not get sidetracked.
P.S.The "individuation ring"of Celes against illusions should have recharged for the confrontation going at this pace.
