If Mircalla looked more closely she'd find that the Mircallas were a lot blurrier when they were out of Laura's sight than when they were in them; Laura knew where Mircalla had been when she'd seen her. And the actions of the Mircallas varied when they were out of Laura's sight, with one of the more sadistic Carmilla's reaching for and caressing the steel cane before glancing at Carmilla and picking up the crop while another gently tested the crop against her palm. Every Mircalla had minor differences from every other in every scenario.

And Carmilla's challenge was met by a TV in the corner of the room turning on, replacing the room. There was also a piece of paper that appeared in Mircalla's hand.

The question continued with several questions below it, and instead of a dot each option had tiny pictures of the relevant Mircallas beside it. And if Mircalla looked really carefuly she'd see the relevant answers made the relevant Mircallas more sollid and the rest more faded.
