Alice doesn't really make an consistent impression of discuntiuous identity. That's probably intended judging from the title.
So she knows that her other mes feel so, she seems to identify with that. That breaks suspension of disbelief (disalief?).
Regarding the recent secretly secret sensations I'd guess that there are probably people out there that do not have all the kinds of identity everyone takes for granted - in this case the agent self.

That quote is a writing error, which I'll fix. Thanks!
