>"How far apart?"
>Ranka closes her eyes to think. "Less than two weeks."
>Look back to Ran. "Any of this sounding familiar? Like, they told me you got into a lot of kerfuffles with your copy when you got here and stuff, too."
>"Define 'kerfuffle', please."
>"And then after a while,a while longer in this world, there was a sort of settlement meaning the Book taking its hold"
>" About the time apart..."
>"If you can't remember anything important on that , can you recall of having seen or heard some unusuality from the others trapped before you
>"Like unusual for this Fake World from your perspective and maybe your double?"
>Ran smiles. "Hatate, this IS Gensokyo. Unusual things happen here all the time. Consider what's happened to your own people. Once, the idea of the tengu reintegrating with the rest of Gensokyo's peoples was a heresy, and now it is the reality."
>"As for my double, that, as I've said, is actually not that unusual. I admit, it isn't common for there to be two of us for this long, but it is not unheard of."
>"Consider this, though." she says, leaning forward and templeing her fingers. "You propose that this Book had the power to capture myself, Marisa Kirisame, Alice Margatroid and Aya Shameimaru, and convince us all that we were living some kind of lie. Now, I am among the most powerful residents of Gensokyo, and the other three women are hardly weaklings. What sort of book would have that kind of power?"
