Well, I expected the doll to be Eve in some way - mostly because I thought it would be odd to have roughly 3/4 of the Moonlit quartet (Adam, Eve, Hansel, and Gretel) represented in the theater in some way and have Eve missing - but I did not expect that. Technically, you are still in the same position with MotC atm. :P

I'm also slightly confused...... Were Margarita and Eve sharing a body or conciousness in the doll (Margarita being dominant), with the Gift killing Margarita but reviving Eve, or was the real Margarita dead the whole time, with Eve taking on Margarita's identity and life? Or is there something completely different going on? I'm under the impression it was Eve and (for whatever reason not made clear in this scene but probably hinted/confirmed somewhere else in the book) she believed she was the real Margarita, a normal human girl with a weird "Sleepless" condition, when it was actually the Sloth magic casting a mass hypnosis passively to make everyone witnessing the doll believe she was just Margarita.

That said, this isn't made explicitly clear so it's possible the real Margarita simply resided in the doll with Eve, she was "slumbering" during this period, and Margarita's suicide awoke Eve (like she says).

We need more context and transcriptions will help make the validation of all this info all the easier for us.
