Line 1,597:

But that alone doesn't hold up of course. Reisen said pre-battle: "I have sealed ''all'' the doors". '''If Reisen was truly loyal to Eirin and wanted to absolutely make sure her plans would go through, with no chance of Reimu & Yukari finding Eirin/Kaguya and stopping them, she would have kept ALL the doors sealed, or at least the correct door would've been more well hidden.''' But she didn't; it doesn't take long before Reimu says after the battle "Look, that door over there, that one isn't sealed!" Reisen immediately reacts [[Bad Bad Acting|"Oh no! I forgot to seal that one..."]] First of all, if this isn't an inside job, how could Reimu spot the only unsealed door so quickly, out of hundreds of doors in a virtually endless hallway?

Because '''Reisen sabotaged the door''', either by leaving it unsealed all this time or unsealing it at some point during the night while Eirin wasn't noticing. Since there are hundreds of doors, during the battle she was also gesturing, pointing her finger towards the direction of the right door. All this in order to secretly aid Yukari (perhaps Reisen subconsciously helped Reimu figure out where the right door was too, as Reimu could've "picked up" on Reisen pointing her fingers somewhere). Her reaction when the heroes find the correct door is to act surprised, also adding "master will be mad at me". But if Reisen was truly loyal to Eirin, once Reimu spots the right door, wouldn't she ~~[[Suspiciously Specific Denial|~~deny it]], saying something the likes of "o-oh, that door? No, that one is sealed". But instead she exaggeratedly goes "Oh no!" in order to stress that indeed, that's the correct door. She also does it in order to come across as sincere to Eirin, to press the illusion that [[Obfuscating Stupidity|Reisen was being]] [[Villain Ball|an extraordinarily dumb henchman]], who forgot to seal the one door that definitely should've been sealed. To Eirin it would be believable since Eirin sees Reisen as her pet, so she doesn't expect her to be all that smart.

Bonus: It's canon that Reisen ''has'' worked as a spy before, in the service of Eirin. She was sent to the Lunar Capital occassionally in order to gather information. It's also stated Reisen used her telepathic abilities in order to carry out this mission, which means that the "Reisen can use her powers to communicate with someone on Earth while she's on the Moon" theory in this entry appears to be a canon ability she already has.
