Hm... I think there's a lot of crossover here. I think that if it's fiction,
written fiction, that exists in Prime then it's in a sense more real because then it has power to influence Prime. To go similarly cyclical to AuraTwilight, the fiction influences Prime which influences new fiction, which influences Prime again, and so on. And any fiction that depicts events shrouded in a cat-box
is a legitimate what-if scenario, at least until the cat-box is opened.
Funny that one of the difficulties with Umineko is that we probably know more about what's inside the cat-box than what's
outside. It's kind of a weird, inverted viewpoint.

Afterward Ange vanished because she changed her name to be a Sumadera and continued to live with Kasumi as a happy family - seperating herself from her past by giving up on her family name, much like her brother did before her.

Well, the point I'm making is that if the 1998 EP4 narrative was a cat-box that existed as a fictionally written story in Prime, Kasumi's status should be independently verifiable and thus a way to falsify that fiction. Of course if Kasumi
did disappear at that time for some reason it could still work. Actually, it wouldn't be such a surprise if Okonogi was responsible for that, even if Kasumi never chased Ange to Rokkenjima.

Haha, but I think the question is about why RK07 would have
us read Witch Hunter fanfiction.
