Ignoring the questions about the hypnosis and sex, wouldn't it be odd if she popped up at the brothel again after dying of childbirth at the same brothel? The boy's age is also debatable. No gurantee Mikulia definitely died by EC 140-141. Could've been 139 or earlier.
 * Mikulia gets pregnant again and dies in childbirth. Her baby somehow survives and eventually tracks her down by EC 150 at the age of 9.
 * By EC 141, the Clockworker's Doll takes up Mikulia's identity and continues working as a prostitute (?)

Now, for the questions: 1) Other way around.
 * Is the Greeonian Plateau Rose named after Mikulia, or is it the other way around?
 * Is it meant that by "abandoning" her child, real!Mikulia left it behind because she died?
 * How did real!Mikulia's child survive anyway?
 * At what point did Eve!Mikulia gain access to the ingredients of Gift? Did she use it for all three of her murders?

2) I suppose. The real Mikulia is the one who died. The fake Mikulia popping up at the brothel again would cause problems (unless I am missing something).

3) That's been an issue even before we had this two Mikulia problem. Best guess I can imagine is he was raised by someone at the brothel.

4) Given how it's delivered and the importance of setting up Gift, she at least learned it by the time she killed Gilbert. It'd be harder for us to say with the other two, especially since learning it on the spot when "her" old boss first popped up would be something pretty specific for a quick murder. She could've learned it beforehand though.

In this regard, I'm hoping the next databook includes a Flower of the Plateau short story to explain it all (especially how the Doll goes from being in Irina's possession to impersonating Mikulia to being in Irina's possession again).

EVen if Irina is the one responsible for all three of Eve's transmigrations happening, why? It already seemed pointless when she did it for Margarita, so what would be the point of doing it for Mikulia? I can at least rationlize Platonic if it was at the time AB-CIR tested her as a potential new body then decided to kill the girl and replace her with a useful pawn.
